[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly I would have held onto if for myself but DH was worried having it in the house would affect his clearance. We live in DC so it's legal by district law for *adults* - DD is sixteen. I could smell it from the hall which is why I went looking.

Now I'm not sure about next steps. Im tempted to say nothing and see if she has the courage to mention it/apologize. [b]We aren't super anti-pot, DD knows we think it's safer than alcohol and should be legal for adults but that teens shouldn't be doing either.[/b] We don't smoke - DH never has and I haven't since college, so she's not getting any messaging that this is okay behavior. I'm annoyed that she disrespected us/broke the rules, but not that worked up over occasional pot smoking. So what's the best way to approach this?[/quote]

You have set the standard with your attitude toward pot.  You say it is safer than alcohol.  How so?  Pot can be laced with all sorts of chemicals and has a detrimental effect on memory.  As long as you send these messages, you will have a hard time managing your DD's behavior and drug/alcohol use.[/quote]
