[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 104134, member: 3626"] In other words, she did drive whle high. Yup, definitely time to take those keys. Of course, that means someone will have to take her to get job apps and for interviews and the like. If she throws too much of a hissy fit since it is her car, take her to the DMV, get your name off the title and off of your insurance now rather than waiting. Hopefully, CT requires proof of insurance before they'll give you registration and title. I do agree she did a good thing in calling and saying she couldn't drive while high. I know that has been a rule in this house. However, I do go a step further -- you call me and I'll happily come get you. We can pick up the car in the morning. At least then she wouldn't have the option of getting higher or driving elsewhere. There was also the rule that while there would be no consequences that evening that didn't mean there would no consequences at all. Using pot is illegal. Drinking while under 21 is illegal. If my daughter chooses to break those laws, I obviously can't stop her. I can, however, make her life extremely miserable. That would include no car, no rides except to work, to look for employment, to school. When you choose to follow the laws, I may choose to let you have a vehicle again but not before. [/QUOTE]
