[QUOTE="witzend, post: 118877, member: 99"] What are your consequences to him on that, and are they working? Are you using the most up to date test available to professionals? Is this test admissible in court? It won't likely be admissible if you are administering the test itself. But does [i]he[/i] have one? If not then this law does not apply. I'm not certain what you mean by "bust". Here is the law on possession in CA. He (may) or may not go to jail, but it's a misdemeanor, and he would get a ticket and fine, which he could have erased with completion of a diversion program. With multiple tickets it gets bumped up to a felony. [b]Possession of marijuana is a misdemeanor under California Health and Safety Code Section 11357. Possession of one ounce (28.5 gms) or less is punishable by a maximum $100 fine. Possession offenders can avoid conviction by making a preguilty plea under Penal Code 1000, in which case their charges are dismissed upon successful completion of a diversion program. Possession offenses are expunged from the record after two years under Health and Safety Code Sections 11361.5 and 11361.7. Driving suspension for minors: Any minor (age under 21) convicted of a marijuana, alcohol, or other drug offense faces a 12-month drivers license suspension, regardless of whether the offense was driving-related.

Cultivation of any amount of marijuana is a felony under Health and Safety Code 11358.[/b] I hope that you will keep trying to get the probation with the drug testing. Your son seems to feel superior to you. I personally would set minimum standards for expectations for him if he were to stay in my home. 1) Daily attendance at school; 2) All homework assignments completed on time; 3) No sleeping in class; 4) No positive drug tests; 5) Participation in household daily living activities. (meals, chores, curfew,c etc. You also posted that other parents in your area enable their children more than you do your son. I don't know that it makes the things that you do enable the right thing to do. One of our members has a signature that has caught my eye recently. I'm not sure who it is, but it seems apt in this situation. "Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it, and right is right even if no one is doing it" Good luck, and keep working to let your son work out his problems. Things are going to be rough, for sure.
