[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 632289, member: 15473"] At 18 they tend to test the waters. All you can really do is set clear boundaries for what you will allow in your home. Once that is done you can start decreasing the things you provide in order for him to be more financially responsible for his own things. Example: Is he using a car you pay for to go get the pot? Then take the car away. Should he have a wreck while impaired you could be held liable. This is not about punishing him it is about ensuring your financial safety and not allowing someone to do something illegal in your vehicle. Example: Is he using his cell phone to set up meetings for pot? Cut off the cell phone. If he can afford the pot he can afford to pay for his own cell phone. He will fight kicking and screaming along the way but he will also learn some things. [/QUOTE]
