[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can get tests at CVS. But as someone who loathes weed and has tons of addiction in the family, I will say that just talking to my kid about it helped a lot. He knows I hate it. He knows I worry about addiction. He knows I won't tolerate it.

But he also knows that I know he will experiment. So we talk about responsible use. Source (his friends get medical or just regular dispensary weed from their parents). We talk about the risk of buying on the street. Of using and driving. And how overuse or even sometimes regular use can make school and work performance decline. How it can damage personal relationships. And so on.

Just like alcohol. It can be used socially or recreationally, but needs to be used responsibly (again, he knows I don't approve of illegal use). Try to keep the long game of being responsible in mind. Because we can't stop it. But hopefully we can stop it becoming a problem. [/quote]
Responsible use isn't a thing for teens.  Their brains are still developing and it can really screw them up.  This risks are very different than use by an adult.  Responsible use is a concept for 25+ yos, not teens.[/quote]
