Yes very bad for them, everywhere and accepted, hard To tackle. My kid has been regularly using for three years older teen and I think it has really impacted their life negatively. I’ve tried just about everything.

This is upsetting. What does this mean you’ve tried just about everything? You cut off access to funds and phone?

Yup. And treatment x 2. Anyone who says weed isn’t addictive is completely oblivious

As the PP who has tried everything knows, you can cut off funds and phone and they can still have a cart handed to them at school 10 minutes later.

Honestly the only thing you can do is allow smoking actual weed in a designated area. I'm a pothead in my late 20s, when I was a freshman in college carts, were just coming out in the illegal state I was in. I vaped flower until I got my hands on a cart pen as I moved to CA. I used that pen because it made less smell. I also take dabs (safer than carts, though looks scary).
If it weren't for the world judging me, I would have just stuck to flower.
You could even buy them a flower vaporizer and say that it's allowed to be used in their room so long as they quit the carts. If you're really just concerned about their health and not scared of normal weed.
Yes weed these days is more potent, but your body gets used to it, I've never done anything crazy on weed or oil and I've smoked it every day for 10 years besides some of my pregnancies. (I had HG and needed it for morning sickness).
It's very unlikely that flower is going to have other drugs in it. People aren't going to waste their hard drugs lacing weed that's already strong.

There are enough kids handing out free drugs at school to sustain a daily habit? What happens on weekends and school breaks? Genuinely asking.

How does that go over in the long run with friendships?

Carts can last a long time. If I hit a pen 5 times a day, it can last me 2 months. I can get a cart for $20 in my legal state. Which can mean for $60 I can be high for 6 months. Doesn't really take much

Not OP, but I've posted here before about the issue.

For my kid it started last year as a Sophomore. I learned that a lot of his friends and kids in general were using it. He was grounded, taken all privileges' away, phone, social media, cash, etc. My kid thought I was crazy and dramatic... he didn't see as a problem. We made it to the end of the year and he was clean, then summer hit and again weed came back to our home. He got grounded again. He worked all summer and money went directly to the bank.

We started the year clean but I recently noticed a "shift" again so I did a search and found weed again, so we're back to strict supervision.

My kid still thinks is not a big deal. He does well in school, plays sports and helps around the home, etc. so he thinks a little weed doesn't hurt anyone... of course my answer is, right, it only hurts YOU.

It's it an on-going struggle for sure...

What about drug testing or no privileges? No car, no phone, no money, no going out, nothing.

I have a friend who does that. Seems to work.

I'm poster above. Yes, we use drug testing and that's how we keep track. But also, if you know your kid well you noticed the changes as well. At least, my mother instinct hasn't failed yet.

My son also knows by now how the "routine" works. If find it/see it/tested, etc then he's grounded. So yes, it works...until they do it again. It is not a ONE TIME solution.

How do you know it's Delta-8? or is that something you can buy old-school in a baggie or is it just vaping?

Please help a clueless mom who recently found old-school pot in teen's room. We've talked about dangers, but this is new to me.

Pp here from a strict Asian household and this is how my parents handled my pothead younger sister 10 years ago.

She was “allowed” to smoke pot at home as long as her grades were good an extra curriculars were ok.

Only joints or her small glass bowl were ok. No bongs/bubblers etc

She could only do it on the back patio in the evening as the sun was going down/or at night but not after a certain hour

No carts, no dabs, tinctures, concentrates.

She stuck to the rules and to this day really is only a flower person.

I think she understood how big of a deal it was for our parents to meet her half way so was happy just having her space and didn’t go overboard.

well as long as their grades are ok then it's alright /saracasm

Yup. And treatment x 2. Anyone who says weed isn’t addictive has facts and science to back it up, unlike people who claim weed is addictive

FIFY.
