[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 493321, member: 1550"] in my opinion drug tests are pretty useless. The kids know how to pass them and what drugs to take that don't even show up. Are you positive that pot is all he is using? If so, you are lucky for now. It could be much, much worse. Is he drinking a lot too? What types of friends does he choose? We stopped paying for anything when my daughter starting using drugs (and we found out). Surprisingly she got off her fanny and got a job. At least, while she was working, she wasn't running around the neighborhood with her druggie friends. However, she managed to pull straight A's in her after high school Cosmetology School, even while doing almost every drug under the sun, including meth. She said t he drugs actually made her focus better and give her more energy to study...go figure. I'd keep a close eye on him. Pot makes one lethargic. If he gets angry and violent, there is probably more going on than pot. Good luck. Some kids go through a phase and get over it. in my opinion we help more if we don't enable their "phase" :) [/QUOTE]
