[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 512670, member: 11001"] Hello and welcome S, Your house your rules and values. I would search, I would take the car away if you find pot again. He could looose his license and even get hurt or hurt someone if he drives while under the influence. I'm sorry but that isnt a risk I would take. And really, too bad about school if he isnt going to follow the rules. My daughter is a pot smoker. She does not drink and has not used other drugs (she has been in over 2 years of Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and regularly tested, and there are no signs)-she is very arogant and academic about her pot use. She thinks she is a cut above other drug users. The issue is that it does slow them down-she is lazy after using and eats. Her attitude is "I don't care." Every long term pot-head I know is an underachiever. Yes, it makes them feel better and my daughter is a lot nicer. However, it is illegal and she is avoiding dealing with her feelings in a healthy way. She has had much treatment because of her issues and yet she continues to use. It has changed this gifted kids future. She does not have a drivers licence and we refuse to help her get one until she is drug free. We also refuse to cart her around. Our public transit is slow-but oh well, she has put herself in this situation. I have become so hardline because I love her so much and we have tried so much. Also being on the board and reading has taught me that giving an inch is really giving a mile when it comes to drug use. I don't have the answers, but I would not take it lightly. If he gets into legal trouble it makes life even harder. Keep us posted and get all the education about this as you can. [/QUOTE]
