[QUOTE="allusedup, post: 661043, member: 19029"] I am sorry for what you are going through. Can you get him in an in-patient rehab program, prefferably at least a month. A place that can do dual diagnosis would be best, to address depression etc. Now is the time to do it before he gets into hard drugs. Pot is bad enough as I went through that with a husband and a son. My husband smoked it almost every breath until he died from a stroke at 52. My son hhas since quit. But I digress. Rehab would give your son some coping skills and help him get started in a 12 step program like AA. AA is modeled after alcoholics but embraces all addictions. If rehab is not an option try to get him to a psychiatrist and a 12 step program. Make appointments and take him and stay with him. Depression is a funny thing. Sometimes no matter how much you want to do something, you just can't bring yourself to do it. Pot may be his way of trying to deal with it but it only compounds the problem. I hope some of this helps. My prayers are with you both. [/QUOTE]
