[QUOTE="KFld, post: 7558, member: 2442"] I agree that the amount of bags of pot you found sounded more like selling to me as soon as I read it. You said he admitted to trying LSD and said he will never do it again?? Someone once told me that take what you know and magnify it by ten. Of course he's not telling you everything and I don't mean to scare you, but my 19 year old son is a recovering heroin addict who a little over a year ago swore up and down that he tried different things, didn't like them, would never do them again and only smoked pot. We believed it until the night he was arrested for posession of narcotics and within 2 days was in detox going through full blown heroin withdrawals. It was not a pretty sight. You are completeley within your rights to not allow him in your home if he isn't willing to follow your rules and be drug tested. If he didn't have anything to hide and was willing to follow them, he'd be jumping at the chance. Allowing him to come home now that you know he's not willing to do this, would only be creating complete chaos in your home for you and the younger children. My daughter suffered quite a bit when our son lived home. He stole her babysitting money, jewelry, anything he could get his hands on. And if your son is selling, you certainly don't need him doing that out of your home!!! Sounds like, by his attitude, he is heading down the wrong road quickly. Try and talk to him, keep the lines of communication open, but don't enable. If he's not willing to come home and follow the rules, don't give him the car back. We made our son register and insure his car in his name last summer because we no longer wanted our name connected to what he was doing. Right now our son is living in a soberhouse and a little over 2 months clean. Until your son wants to head down the right road, there isn't much you can do about it besides not enable the negative. Hopefully things turn around quick for all of you. Stick to your guns. It's the best gift you can give him. [/QUOTE]
