Ok, so, as my name implies, I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I smoke once or twice a week, I used to enjoy it more, but also weed helps me with a chronic pain condition. I kept my stash in my home office, in a not so hidden place and my kid obviously found it. It's been made lighter by several grams. He's 15. I found a missing bud in his room, in a not so hidden place. (Insert the "Apple does't fall far from the tree" saying).

He doesn't know I know yet, and I am bent up about this. My wife doesn't know I have it which complicates the matter, and although I would prefer he doesn't smoke it, I really don't mind him smoking. I was that age when I started. I just don't like the stealing, lying, and he has denied smoking at all, but he's come home obviously blazed.

Help me with a 15 year old's perspective. How would you handle this if it were your kid? I need to be a grown-up but at the same time, realistic. I think I've been a decent parent, but now ...

I need to approach him about this. I want to be taken seriously. 15 is young, and I believe it should be limited, but I have lost all credibility. sigh.

What do you think?
Dude... If my kid smoked, I would be pissed.. I'm only 18, and I don't have a kid, but still..


I would tell him to think twice, but the kid would probably NOT think twice...




My mom busted me, and asked me nicely if I would stop, I said no.

My mom got angry, and TOLD me to stop, I said no.

My mom tried to bribe me with a car, I said no.



There is relatively NOTHING that'll make me stop..





You could try to postpone it for a year or two, by saying you'll teach him to grow when he's 16 or 17 .. Maybe even as late as 18.. But he'll probably just smoke anyway..

There is really nothing you can do.. Grounding him will only make him say "I HATE YOU" lol, and cutting his allowence might make him steal or worse, get a job.. lol


Anywhoo.. I'm out of options..
