Great post and great article. :thumbsup:

I found out my son was smoking pot when he forgot to take his stash out of his pants before throwing them in the laundry. First of all, I gave him his stash back (dry and unwashed). Then I explained that pot was not harmful, but that it was illegal. I stressed being very careful if he was going to use pot. I also warned him how his dealer may in fact be a pusher and try to entice him to try other drugs that are harmful. Once I explained how they make much bigger money from addictive drugs (sort of enforced repeat customers), he understood perfectly. It was a very cool situation and as a result, he never got busted and is now leading a very normal life. Plus we became even closer than before rather than pushing him away with a freak out overreaction.
