[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 729104, member: 15032"] Welcome Our son started with weed at 15. It grows in the ground blah blah. I smoked a lot of it in high school but I never got addicted thankfully. I am not against it but I do think, like alcohol, some should not touch it because "it" whatever it may be, takes over their life. We thought our son was going through a phase like we went through but sadly that was NOT the case. Weed led my son to other drugs and here we are seven years later. We've done everything under the sun to "help" him and at times he has admitted that he has a problem also. He would do well after rehab for about three months but not really accomplish anything, and would then go back to pills etc. He is doing well now in a long term faith based program. I hope that it sticks so he can have a normal life. It's very scary and I know way more about drugs and addiction that I ever wanted to know. My salvation has been this forum and seeing a therapist that specializes in addiction. This is NOT normal parenting and the "kids" are good at getting in between their parent's marriage. It's a horrible position to be in. That is for sure. I think sober living after treatment is best rather than letting them come home. It just starts the cycle over - at least it did for us. It sounds like you know what you are doing so keep posting and reading. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
