THC vape-what did you do?

[Anonymous]

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.

It's not even illegal in most places

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.

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.

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.

What type of sickness ???

You can't stop it but you can:

Insist nothing illegal in your house or car or other property.

No driving, which is a natural consequence to being high and unfit to drive

Cut off cash that might be used to buy it.

Keep talking to them about how bad it is for their health, their relationships, their school. Discuss how potent the thc carts are. Compared to other forms of cannabis.

It's like our drinking in high school. I hate it too. But you need to teach them responsible use in some respect. Without condoning underage use. Just like our parents tried to do with alcohol. The message eventually sinks in. Health and safety should be the messages.

Underage use is absolutely illegal.

I cut off money and vehicle access. We’re in the DMV so there are plenty of other options besides handing over my keys. My kid got a job and bought his own car. I didn’t threaten college payment.

Been there. Regular drug testing, no going on with friends for a looooong time, regular and random checks on his phone.
