He does sound massively depressed. Whether it's a cause of effect of his behavior is not clear.
What about an outdoor program for a few months?

He’s self-medicating with pot. Treat his underlying issues (probably anxiety and depression) and he won’t need to be stoned daily.
And no, the armed forces don’t want him. They don’t want trouble kids and no longer need cannon fodder. I’m from a military family and am married to a man who spent 20 years in the Marines. Those days of “Parris Island will straighten him out.” are over.

I'm so very sorry OP. I don't have solutions for you, but just a big hug.

A side affect of ADHD drugs is depression. Kids his age can buy pot easier than they can buy booze. It may not be his drug of choice but only choice.

ADHD drugs can lead to addictions. The kid is given amphetamines and is self medicating with pot. It's toxic, it's not his fault.

Get him off the pot - better behavior may follow. Your house rules = no pot.

Smokes marijuana regularly (those who haven’t dealt with this please don’t go into where do they get it, the money etc. they find a way)
Does bare minimum at school
Has a crappy attitude
Quit all his sports
Has a terrible temper (think holes in walls)
Doesn’t exercise
Vapes/smokes
Eats horribly
Isn’t very motivated
Is immature
Risk taker
Adhd - takes medicine during school day
Some learning disabilities, not major
I am at a loss and trying not to give up on him, but it’s been years of trying to get him good help, support, trying to enforce boundaries and the list goes on. I’m just tired and incredibly sad about this.
Military school? Not joking.
