[quote=Anonymous]With his mental health issues he may be trying to self medicate with marijuana. The concern as a parent is the risk of psychosis that is higher than it used to be with pot use and I think a 3x higher risk of schizophrenia. My kid was grounded until he peed clean, almost a month. He could be at school functions, but we dropped him off. He had a friend who od'd and thought he died that he had been hanging out with. That cleaned up those friends pretty quickly. Did tests whenever we asked. He later said he realized that the drug use was not a good idea and interfered with his motivation. His father also talked to him about his life experiences- that may have been helpful. Being firm and caring at the same time is important. [/quote]
