[QUOTE="DDD, post: 610617, member: 35"] I think that the more important decision is "what consequences will result if drugs are found"? You have to be really prepared to do what you say you will do. If you're not ready to pull the trigger with consequences then I'd skip the snooping until I was ready. I, for example, never said "IF I find drugs you must leave our home" because I knew I was not prepared for him to live with his sorry friends. on the other hand I told him "I will be going thru your room because as much as we love you we are not prepared to lose our home if drugs are present." So I snoooped with permission and I found small quantities of pot.....until one day I found a larger quantity. Sigh. husband and I took the big bag and poured all the pot in a bleach bottle which we then tossed in a dumpster far from home. All Hades broke loose when he discovered that...the only time he ever yelled/cussed etc. in front of me. *The decisions are hard. He went to three s.a. programs. He still smokes weed but luckily has never had a deep interest in heavier drugs. I wish you well. I hate that part of parenting. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
