[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 708280, member: 4152"] SWOT... Sounds very good/very healthy. You have every right to be very proud.I consider mental illness often disabling. I think our daughter sometimes has to expend a lot of energy to keep from acting inappropriately. If she were in a job setting, I don't think she could do that for more than a few hours. So, this is why I'm thinking perhaps PT might be appropriate for some of our kids. Some might be able to do more, some might not be able to even that. It's just a possible option to consider. And I think PT work allows for at least some independence and of course, pride in work and productivity. Copa...I do consider marijuana a drug. I think I could and would be more open to it's use for medical reasons like for glaucoma, extreme pain, etc. I don't mean to be hypocritical. I certainly don't have all the answers here. BUT, yes, generally speaking, I do consider it a drug and definitely NOT good for people, esp. the mentally ill and if our daughter was using marijuana there would be consequences. When I worked with teens who smoked marijuana, I was saddened to see how it very negatively influenced them. It was actually more extreme than I would have ever imagined. Just simply caused them to lack any motivation whatsoever...a variety of losses. I don't know exactly how my husband and I would deal with it...but I feel certain in my heart that there would be consequences. It is unacceptable in my mind. I also know it would be an extremely upsetting and disturbing thing for our entire family. [/QUOTE]
