[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 557243"] Yes you can use a gas card to buy stuff at the minmarts, including cigarettes. My experience with gift cards is they are easy to misuse... when my son was in a sober house we had him get a grocery card for groceries. We felt good about that as he needed money for food but we did not want to give him cash and that is how the sober house suggested we do it. Later we discovered my son was somehow buying spice (synthetic pot) from a local gas station... and somehow he was using his grocery card to do it!!! So yeah I would not get him a gas card... which he could also use to fill up a friends tank and have them give him the cash. These guys are resourceful when they want drugs!!! So I vote for meeting up with him and filling his tank directly. I also agree that you might want to wait until he asks for help. You might want to ask some of these questions also on the substance abuse forum.... lots of experience over there. TL [/QUOTE]
