[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 505437, member: 1550"] I think almost everyone has said it all, but I wanted to emphasis that your son is most likely into a lot more than just pot. Kids will usually cop to pot because they know we, as parents, won't get THAT alarmed about it if that is all it is. But they don't cop to meth or over the counter drugs that can kill you or other dangerous drugs, and they also don't start selling things to get pot. That usually is a big red flag for addiction. While our daughter was using, we thought she was just smoking pot, drinking and maybe, maybe experimenting with stronger drugs, but she always insisted she was afraid to use hard drugs. After she quit, she told us the truth: meth, speed, downers, even a shot of heroin once. There was probably nothing she didn't try. NOTHING scared her. We are fortunate that she lived to quit, but she taught us a scary lesson...we don't know what our kids are doing when it comes to drugs. My daughter's philosophy is: "Never trust a druggie. NEVER! Everything they say is a lie." Hugs and I hope you can find a way to peace. I recommend Al-Anon or Narc-Anon too. It's great to get real face time support and help. [/QUOTE]
