[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 648057, member: 1233"] Ignore whatever idiot at the police station that acted like it was no big deal. They were being idiots. This is a big deal. The pen and foil bowls are signs of a LOT more than pot and alcohol. As to his being hurt because he would NEVER because he admires his uncle, that is a giant load of manure that is designed to make you feel bad and not question him again so that he can continue to do what he wants. It is actually good that the enabling older girlfriend wants to break up. He won't have access toher car or her $$ or whatever else she is providing. Do not EVER EVER EVER trust a doctor who gives a teen a xanax rx. There is absolutely ZERO reason to give that to a teen, esp one who is using pot or booze or acting out. There are TONS of other medications that are FAR better choices for treating anxiety, even for treating panic attacks, than xanax. Especially for treating anxiety and panic attacks in teens. I have dealt with anxiety, panic attacks and medications for several decades and I have yet to find a responsible doctor who would rx xanax to ME, much less to a teen (trust me, I was not a teen when I first needed medications for anxiety and even then the docs used other medications than xanax).
