[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But what if it's "just pot." Does that make a difference?[/quote]

I think that's for the other parents to decide.  But I think OP should tell them and let parents decide if they care or not.

If it were my kid, I'd be upset about pot use as well.  I think that kids in high school who smoke pot (more than once or twice, I mean - kids who are into it) are doing so because they are bored, disengaged, upset, lonely, and aimless, have no sense of a goal.

I know my husband did a LOT of pot when he was in high school and college and only realized much later that he was self-medicating for depression.

If I found out my kids were smoking a lot of pot, I'd want to intervene and make sure that they were staying very busy with all sorts of activities, clubs, or volunteer work.  If they want to bored and aimless, OK by me, but they'll have to do it in the 2 free hours a week that I allow them.   If they can't find productive things to do with their time, I will help them find it.[/quote]
