[QUOTE="Wakegirl, post: 579594, member: 15912"] Hello Trixy Rose. I'm so glad you found this forum! Wonderful members here with very knowledgeable advice! As far as proving that your son is smoking pot, I would go buy an at home drug test from Walgreens, or I'm sure many other drugstores sell them. If it is definitely pot that he is smoking, it should detect it. In my situation, my son is smoking a chemical called Spice. At home drug tests won't detect it. If he is an addict (past or present), I definitely wouldn't let him hang out with the friend that is a major pill addict. Birds of a feather. I know it's hard telling a 20 year old who he can and can't hang out with. But, if he wants to live in your home, add it to your contract. I did that with my son. My problem is that I work 4.5 days a week. I couldn't be home to watch him like a 2 year old, and he started hanging out with friends that he shouldn't. Of course he denied it....but I found out the truth. If my son is ever allowed to come back home, it will be with rules so strict, he probably won't want to come back. One of which there will be a curfew. I'm sorry, but nothing good happens after the wee hours of the morning. And quite frankly, I don't want that worry anymore. It's amazing where our brains will take us at 2:00 in the morning. I always ended up thinking the worst...because I was so used to late night phone calls from him or the police. The stress and worry alone will end up killing me. My sons current lifestyle is dangerous. So, if he is ever allowed back in, he better be prepared to live by my rules. Good luck to you! I hope for you and your sons sake that the drug test comes back clean! [/QUOTE]
