[quote=Anonymous]I might suggest a step-together approach with your SIL.  As the adults, have a conversation with the drug-using teens.  Ask them how they're feeling, why the use drugs, what they know about drug use and the body, and what they know about the law.  Explain your values, which probably also include your love for them.  And also explain the parameters of behavior that will permit them to go and stay on this trip.  And explain what will happen if those rules are broken.  Can they agree to those parameters?

It might be that the kid says "No, I can't agree. It's my life, my business."  So you need to be prepared for that.  What will happen as a consequence?  Will the child stay at home or with sh!tty dad?  Or will the cops get called?  Kid get kicked out and wander around on his own?  I mean, I don't know.

At any rate, I think the teens should know that you know what they're up to, that it's not safe (they're young, brains developing, they use too much, bad habits, addiction, etc.).  [/quote]
