[quote=Anonymous]I do not allow weed in our house.  I've never smoked weed, and I know it's not a hard drug, but it's still a drug.  Similarly, I will not allow my teens to drink alcohol, juul, smoke ecigs, or any other substance.

When they are of age, and/or out of my house they can do as they please.  I make sure they know the legal consequences, and consequences within our own household.

At the same time I know I cannot control every situation, so I talk safety.  Safe sex, safe drinking, safe smoking, etc. I also will come pick them up if needed.  I keep track of their finances, and try not to ensure they have large sums of cash.

In short I do not make it easy for them, and I will not look the other way.  For OP's son, he would be talking to a counselor because you have found more than one container.  I would do regular drug tests, and he would have to slowly earn privileges back.

I'd also consider that he may be self medicating for depression, ADHD, or the like.  If he needs weed to "feel okay" or calm his body/brain, there is a deeper issue.  Don't freak out, while ignoring the underlying issue.

Good luck.  Parenting is damn tough.[/quote]
