[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 618431, member: 59"] Welcome CLJ, I read your post while in bed this morning trying to get up enough ambition to get out in our freezing weather, but couldn't respond until I fired up the laptop. What MWM said was exactly what I thought when reading your story. He is an adult in the eyes of society, he lives on his own and had a job. It's devastating when we parents find out that they are doing something very dangerous and illegal and our firstreaction is to fix it, make them stop. I don't know how you do that in your situation. I have to admit I didn't even know what butane hash oil was and I thought I knew most of the drugs out there. Eventually he is going to have some consequences to this behavior, either legal or medical ones. That may be your first opportunity to intervene so my suggestion is you research treatment centers in your area so that if that time comes you are prepared. In the meantime I agree with MWM, be prepared, do not give him any cash that can buy drugs, don't bail him out financially, keeps your eyes wide open and be prepared to help him face the truth when time comes. Find a support group and please keep coming here, read our stories, share your worries and learn how to survive and detach. I'm so sorry you have to walk this path with us but we are all here to support each other. [/QUOTE]
