[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would get him therapy. The drugs of today are not the same experimental drugs of our past generation. Fentanyl mixed in so many drugs causing overdoses, and today’s weed causes drug induced psychosis. Get him a therapist maybe an underlying desire to fit in, or depression. Also get him involved in activities and something to look forward to surrounded by like minded peers. [/quote]

Therapy for what? I have a 17 year old who I know has a couple of beers at parties, because he’s told me so. I assume he has tried pot. He is a happy kid - loves his sport and works really hard at it, has a tight group of friends, is a good son and grandson, drives responsibly, does well in school. He does what teenagers do because it’s fun. It’s also bad for him and dangerous, which he knows full well. He does it anyway, as I did before him and I bet his kids will do in turn.

I am not going to ruin my relationship with him by pathologizing a normal (though risky) life stage. We do as much harm reduction as we can - Uber, Life360, home at a reasonable hour, knowing his friends and their parents - and then we hope and pray.[/quote]

It depends.

Kids who smoke pot do it at home alone playing video games. Would you be okay if your kid drank alone ? Probably not.[/quote]

Actually, kids smoke pot with their friends in the woods after school when you think they are just walking home.

Pot is super bad for teen brains. Alcohol is bad, and alcohol and cars is deadly. And if you think that it’s only the jock partiers who are drinking, or the loners in their bedrooms who are smoking, you have your head up your butt.[/quote]
