[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 333220, member: 2315"] When I read your post yesterday I could not respond. I needed to read up on the uses and side effects of medical marijuanna first. I have to say I agree with those here who question the perscribing and use of marijuanna in the case of your son. The only benefit I can see from this is that your difficult child can no longer be arrested for using his drug of choice. If I recall he started using pot around age 16(?). I have to ask how could anyone even know what his potential is when he hasn't been clear headed or clean of this drug his entire late teens? I really think I would try another avenue before giving in to this course of highly controversial treatment. I truly understand that keeping your son out of the judicial system is a top priority for you. So I am wondering; are you sure you and the doctor are not overly motivated by that possibility and therefore just giving in to your difficult child's manipulations? You say he is happy, on an allowance, living at home and not working. And smoking pot legally. So I asked myself: What has truly changed in your situation? I'm guessing that: 1) You are no longer fighting with him over his use of pot. 2) He is now allowed to smoke on your property. 3) he may have dropped his pot-head friends now that he can get marijuanna easily and freely. 4) he is not stealing 5) He has ample pocket money. 6) You no longer have to worry about the cops comming to your house and/or searching it. So basically he has had all his terms filled and now there is peace in your houshold. Peace is [B][COLOR=red][U]not[/U][/COLOR][/B] over rated. I know that first hand. So my next question is: Are you truly Ok with this situation and will you still be ten years from now? [/QUOTE]
