[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 675880, member: 1550"] YES! This is often my point. Leafie, I was a goody two shoes, although my dysfunctional mother probably thought I took drugs and had wild sex. I did neither, so when my daughter started to use, I had no clue, even about the pot, until I caught her redhanded. Then I was naive enough to think she was only smoking pot. I didn't like it, or think it was harmless, and I still don't think it is harmless for all people, just like I know alcohol is lethal for many. I've known folks who died from alcoholism. But I was too naive and also had my head in the sand so that I had no clue my daughter was doing heavy drugs, such as speed/meth and selling it as well. She kept a job at Walmart as she went to high school. She went to Cosmetology School and got all A's and her certificate. All this time she was on drugs. The school called me once saying her friends came to them because they were worried about her using coke. I spoke to her and s he swore it was a lie and the girls were just mad at her and she even cried and said s he had quit ALL drugs, even pot. I believed it until I came home one day to a pill party. That's when she was finally caught. And I didn't really know what the pills were until she finally quit and told me exactly how bad it was. She did not act like a bad kid to me. I could tell something wasn't right, but she did fool her therapist who said she had bipolar and she was hospitalized once and fooled them too. I guess my point is, we, who know our kids smoke pot, do not know if that is all they do. I sure didn't know. I was so shocked when I found out, I don't think I even responded to her confessions. My daughter is doing well now so they CAN quit, but it isn't easy or fast and their word alone means less than a penny. Your son, like my daughter, is smart and t his could really help him. It is how and why my daughter decided the drug life was not for her. She even quit smoking cigarettes! Don't give up hope...ever...but be realistic too and don't believe everything you are told or you could be fooled. Maybe that's a good thing. I was probably better off not knowing how bad it was with my daughter. As it was, I was nervous enough thinking it was just pot. Thanks for sharing, Leafie. [/QUOTE]
