[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 29115, member: 696"] Hi and welcome. I can't read all the posts today as I am so pressed for time. I did read your reply about the coach etc to CaMom. Boy do I wish that were true for most of us! That would be the easy child person not the difficult child's I have. Most of us have probably tried that way only to be bushwacked by our difficult child's. Pot usage is fine for many people, however, many people with BiPolar (BP), ADHD etc self medicate...this is true. They also feel that this drug helps them. They'll fight to the end of the earth to convince you and everyone else it does. Bottom line though....it's illegal. Because of that it's just plain black and white and right from wrong. No sugar coatin' it honey. Pot changes the chemicals in their brain. It uses up some and leaves others in disrepair. The "helping professions" may want us to parent being coaches, guideposts and whatever, but society and especially the legal system is still cut and dry. Your difficult child sounds like he's a smart cookie. If you lay down the law and say no illegal substances in my home or on my property and if you find any...the keys/car is gone. No backing down, no nothing. You'll be surprised how much your kiddo will whine etc, but in the end he'll thank you for it. They really are searching for boundries. [/QUOTE]
