Hi, I'm new to these boards.

The drug awareness organisation is going to be full of people telling him bullshit facts that aren't real. What's more he will know there not real.

In my opinion that wasn't the best decision but who am i to tell you how to raise your son.

I feel that I've at least got to try this approach. It will be an informal, impartial chat. If they can get him to open up a little (something I can't do) then surely that's a step in the right direction. If not, then I'll know that I've tried, and that's not the right path to go down.

I've accepted (though I'm not happy about it) that he's going to smoke weed regardless of my opinion. Just maybe he'll heed some one else's advice and be able to take a more responsible attitude towards it.

Finally my question about Dad was ignored why???

Hi Skink, Appologies for not answering your earlier post.

Yes his Father is involved. Although he's re-married, he does have contact with him regularly.

He's of the same opinion as me, perhaps even more so. He can sometimes aggravate a sitituaton by completely over reacting. But this time, thankfully, he hasn't gone all 'Victorian Father' on him.

I just want to stress here what I believe to be most important...

Heart to heart!!! No one knows more about your son than your son... He needs to open up to you or someone he will... People smoke pot for different reasons,I picked it up again to help my lack of ambition...

It's not Black and White and you need to Know why before you can begin to solve anything...

Good Luck!!!

I am a 41 yr old Mother of two and have been smoking since I was 20. I do not do it around my kids (only when they are not home) and my hubby and I both have normal jobs, house, cars etc. My Hubby is an engineer and I work in high tech sales. We do not consider it to be any more dangerous than having a glass of wine at night. We only smoke on weekends and most of our friends have no idea we smoke. We have never used any other 'drugs'. we both started in college and it has never affected my education, career or life.
I am also an artist and my husband plays music. We enjoy it and are hurting no one.

Just let your sun do it on weekends / After his school work. And those anti drug meetings (well the ones about mairjuana) are just complete bullshit, they will prolly tell your son how marijuana will make him try crack and then heroin and then he will od. Its just lies.
