My next step was to hit the vape.

It is legal

We went the relationship enhancing route. Talks, getting to the bottom of why, education about the health implications, monitoring friends and his coming and going, taking the car keys when it was found in his car.

The natural consequences of getting really sick is what did it for him though. He seems to be done with it for real.

Similar here. There were immediate consequences with some grounding and losing the phone (and me deep diving on it ). It seems like the use was mostly at a particular event he loved and we banned that event for quite some time.

Lots of long talks, and revisiting the topic in the months that followed while we worked to rebuild trust. I’m almost certain he didn’t have it for long when we found out. We know the friends he used it with and had open conversations with the other parents and their stories did very much line up.

It was a school year that I was about to extend his curfew, but didn’t. I also wait up every time to have a conversation when he comes in the door.

He also knows that another f-up will delay some upcoming privileges he’s looking forward to.

A lot of them are probably taking a hit now and then and you just have no idea. It is so so common. if they keep it to once every couple of months as an older teen instead of drinking, consider if this is different than what you did in high school (if you drank once in a while in high school). Do you punish in that way for alcohol too, which kills its share of brain cells? Just food for thought.

Drug testing for many months afterward.

He’s a legal adult but not financially independent so you have something to hold over his head. Just watch out though. It’s easy for him to get a medical marijuana card and you can’t do anything about it.

This. Mine got one after a five minute online discussion. He did get tired of weed though. He thought it was overpriced and it made him stupid.

First time I’d warn them that I’ll call the police. Second time I’d call. Problem solved.

No one is calling the police on their children.

Can you say more about this? What did he tell you?

It’s illegal for a person under 21 to possess THC. I would only call the police if they disregarded my warning.

How can we expose the FCPS system for all the THC delta 9 and drugs in FCPS middle and HS? Michelle Reid denies theres a drug problem in FCPS. Someone has to be able to help parents get a voice

He said he felt like it made him slow. Plus I think the novelty wore off.

How often is necessary to drug test? I’m unsure how long it lasts in the system. I now don’t even want my child to have a job because I don’t want him to have money at his disposal. I found out he sold his Xbox to buy carts and edibles.
