[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 39122, member: 2315"] Mikey, you already know my stand on your son's pot use and his blatant defiance and manipulations of your rules. But please read the article that Epchap posted. I grew up in the 60's and 70's when pot use was rampant. I didn not use mostly because it caused severe migraines for me to even be near the smoke of others. And though I didn't participate I did "look the other way" until one of my husband's college buddies brought it into my home. He was told that I would not abide by that that it was still illegal and I would not sanction illeagal acts in my own home and he was asked to leave. Anyway that is off topic. What I am trying to say is 1) even if you did use back then you have the responsibility to raise your children up to respect both you and the law. and 2) that the pot of today is not the same as it was back then. In addition even with the lower potency of the 70's era pot, I did have many aquaintances move on to other more powerful drugs. Some of them had long term effects, some stopped and had normal lives. But it was still a gamble then and an even greater one now with the higher potency of modern day pot. I hope you are still reading our posts. I know it probably seems like we are battering you over the head but we have all been there done that. My son started on pot he has recently admitted to moving on to crack. My story is similar to many here but the bottom line is my son became violent and irradic and hurt me. I had to literally revoke his bond and have him put in jail because he would not accept any of the help offered. he has been in prison for almost a year because he couldn't or wouldn't do what had to be done to get out in 4 months. It is heart breaking if I could get my hands around the neck of the first person who ever offered my son a joint I would probably have a hard time not sqeezing him unconcious. -RM [/QUOTE]
