[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 349915, member: 1550"] I recommend Narc-Anon. There's some really good support there. He sounds to me as if there is more going on than marijuana, but like others have said there is barely any "just marijuana" anyway anymore. He is on drugs and it's affecting his life. Weed doesn't make you pass out cold like that. Suggestion? Let him try to survive on his own. Things I've learned and that you will learn if you go to an N/A meeting: 1/You can not make him quit. You have no power over him. He is the only person with any power over himself. 2/You can't make it go away by coddling him. Often this only makes it worse. 3/It is best to learn how to detach because, other than that, your only other option is to worry constantly over something you have no control over. 4/Druggies are big liars. Don't believe anything they say even if they stare you in the eyes and cry. Or swear on somebody's grave. I wish you luck. I know first hand how hard this is as a parent. [/QUOTE]
