[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 708281, member: 18958"] This is what I observe with my son. I have been unsuccessful in motivating him to stop. We are at the point where we will not allow him to stay overnight at our house (the one where we live) a privilege that is important to him. He is comfortable here. I do not know what else to do because I am trying to keep my eyes on the ball which is not one specific battle, but the war. If I force him out of the other house, what do I gain? My state legalized marijuana last year although the mechanism to dispense it legally has not yet been set up, but I do not think they are even citing offenders anymore; my son has qualified to buy at medical dispensaries. I do not see how I win this war. When he buys marijuana he lacks the money to buy food toward the end of the month. M bailed him out last month, to my consternation, a loan my son repaid. I did not agree with that. The only thing more I can think of is to try to prevail on M to NOT LOAN money. Can you think of any other approach to take? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
