[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 493303, member: 59"] been there done that my daughter left for college late Aug 09 and was arrested Oct 13 for smoking pot and drinking in her dorm. She ended up being suspended from college and having to go to court and that began two years of drinking/drug use, going to rehab, relapsing, getting kicked out of the house and living with druggies and finally going to live in a sober house. She is now 20 and living in an apartment and going to AA meetings everyday and living one day at a time. You can place that restriction on him but honestly I doubt whether he will stop smoking pot because of it. He will probably just be sneakier. From what we have experienced, there are kids who can smoke pot and drink and turn out fine. Our daughter was not one of them and we knew that years ago. She has the addiction gene in her and was bound to get into trouble. I am not in agreement with allowing young people to smoke pot, but I know many parents who turn their heads as long as the grades and behavior are good. I know I'm not much help but we haven't had a lot of success in stopping our daughter, she had to hit bottom and do it for herself. nancy [/QUOTE]
