Wow...I've not heard of PO's dropping by at any time and slapping handcuffs on when the violator is disrespectful! Congratulations CAMom...you've got a winner there!
PO's do like to flex their muscles, but we've not had the opportunity to see anything other than just disgusted faces and threats of "what could happen".
Don't beat yourself up to hard on the denial part. Smoking pot is not anything new. What is new is that it is much stronger now than before, and they use cigar casings to make it burn more slowly too. Add this to the genetic predisosition of ADD kiddos and you've got something you didn't intend for!
It's good if they run an 8 or 10panel drug test, as well as quantitative levels. You can actually see the levels go down. It takes about 4weeks for the level to reach undetectable and sometimes 6wks for a heavy user.
Hopefully you can find a decent counselor, one that can relate to your son and one that he will relate to. We're using a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in substance abuse assessment and treatment. This guy actually used to run a DUI group.
Crossing body parts for you all.
