15 year old is smoking weed

[Anonymous]

I’d take him to the doctor and have him educate him. I’d come down like a ton of bricks and search his stuff and tighten up big time. This can turn into something that will be a very serious problem for a long time. Don’t chance it.

It's a very dangerous thing at this stage of neurological development. I think the parents that let this slide are completely nuts. And basically guilty of child abuse. You are changing their brain development by letting this slide.

Of course you observe them lol. They can turn around. Door open after you check the bathroom first and they are wearing boxers

And you do it randomly so they can’t try to dilute the test. But the right ones work even if they try.

They have at home hair testing kits too.

Nothing annoys me more than parents who reply like this. You weren’t diligent.

Meh. It’s not THAT big of a deal.

That's what I thought until my son became paranoid and wouldn't let me leave the house because he said people were watching us. He admitted he had been hearing voices and they started telling him to hurt others. Thankfully I managed to get a fairly quick appointment with a psychiatrist during Covid (it only took a few weeks) and on antipsychotic medication. I slept with a locked door for a very long time.

Until we did that with direct consequences for a positive (loss of phone, loss of allowance, loss of travel sport) it continued. And he hung around losers and his grades dropped and it was terrible.

Now he hangs with his sports friends, better crowd and is much nicer person. Grades are better. I don’t get parents that just say oh it’s the age. It isn’t. It’s the crowd and the lack of focus and issues. Trust me OP

Of course. All it took was stop smoking weed and he turned into a different person.

Not the PP but daily weed especially in carts and high dose THC absolutely changes teens. They are completely disengaged, grades are not that great, start skipping class, handing around unmotivated losers. Not to mention issues with psychosis, potential lacing, lack of brain development, and just the fact most are "self medicating" due to mental health issues that aren't being addressed which is really sad. These kids need help

What has his father done to correct this behavior? You both sound like failures as parents.

There's a reason why governments around the world pushed weed onto poorer people.

15 is really young. I would be on them like white on rice. Family counseling, homeschool or private school for a year, signed up for activities every day, including sports.

My friend put her kid on lockdown for two years. His dad had serious substance abuse issues that started with weed and she herself lost a sibling to a drug-related accidental drowning.

For two years, he was homeschooled and pretty much glued to her hip outside of the bathroom and sleeping. He did therapy and they both volunteered at a community garden run by people in recovery.

He’s now an adult and doesn’t touch drugs or alcohol.

And people will say this is too much but yet they are so many loser addicts dropping out of college and living back home later
