If you had a 15 yr old son and you CAUGHT him smoking weed.... How would you react?

yell at him for not coming to me first to get him weed that wasnt laced with things, weed is less harmful or equally as harmful as alcohol, my mom let me smoke it as long as she supervised me and controled where it came from, to make sure it wasnt laced with anything. he shouldnt be allowed to smoke daily, even if parents are experienced with it though, but for doingnsomething that dangerous as using it unsupervised i'd ground him for a week.

That problem needs to nipped in the butt, that behavior has been going on for so long that now it is normal in society. If you have talked to him countless times and that hasn’t worked and locking him up in the house hasn't worked there are two more options. Discipline the old fashioned way, which a lot of people do not agree with this day and age but your son should listen to you because you are the parent. And if that source of discipline will knock some sense into him it is worth it. The other option is sending him to juvie for a week or maybe even more. He will be able to see what reality is really like, what the consequences of his actions will be, and what drugs can lead him to do later on in life. It may seem harsh but sometimes you have to be. Take the advise from a person who has been there and done that, my parents used all of those options & it changed my views, then again I was undiagnosed with type one bipolar at the time. But even then I stopped what I was doing. Been clean for five years now, finished high school and in 1 month I will be getting my degree in medical billing and coding and a proud and good mother of a 5 month old son. Believe me if I was able to get out of that rut, weed, beer, & meth, and come out on the top your son can too. He can come out of it and be successful in life and learn life’s lessons, everyone is brilliant they just have to realize it and use it. I hope he learns he has a great chance in life, and is such a lucky boy to have such a loving and caring mother. But do what you feel is right, he is your son.

I would ask him 1) why are you smoking this 2) where did you get the weed (is he growing illegal plants at your house or did a friend give him this or did he buy it somewhere)?! You need to find his source! 3) I would tell him that pot is illegal in the USA and only legal in some states for MEDICAL only use. Tell him by having any pot in the house everyone can get into legal trouble. Ask him if he really wants you and his other parents arrested and charged with possession of drugs? Because that is what can happen if pot is found in YOUR house because you are the legal adult.

I would then search his entire room and grab all the pot you can find and immediately flush it down the toilet! Tell him if he is having emotional problems then he needs to talk it out and deal with it and not cover them up with drugs! I would then take him to a child therapist so he can talk out his feelings instead (maybe this will help but will teach him if he brings drugs into your house you are going to think he has mental problems and need help. Because most people who use illegal drugs or alcohol are trying to cover up emotional issues that they don't want to deal with. They want to just feel numb for a while).

His privacy/trust for him would have to be EARNED back. Daily I would shift through his room for drugs. Maybe bring over a dog and see if the dog is smelling anything in his room. Even an untrained dog might be able to help you find drug stashes. This is your house. Which means you are the adult and legally responsible if illegal drugs are in your home! No way in h e l l would I let a child or anyone keep drugs in MY house. Because he won't be in as much trouble as you will since he's a child!

I'd probably stare at him surprised for a moment then ask "are you smoking weed in my house?" and smile.

Then I'd tell him I know this is December in Canada and it's freezing but you take that outside and then lecture further about the dangers of trying harder drugs and some of the people he might meet while buying. I'd make my rules very clear but still give him some freedom to be curious and explore things. It had a good impact on me growing up, along with structure and proper guidance from my parents. I'd like to do the same.

Can I get some of that? LOL. I'll admit it, i smoke weed. i don't see anything wrong with it personally. i would just make sure he was getting it from a dealer with a good repute and not getting ripped off.

tell him the facts of weed. What it dose to your body and how he cant have it tell hes 21 legally. Tell him what would happen if he got caught etc. It would also depend if he was a good kid and got good grades, the better he is at school and stuff like that the less mad i would be.

Sometimes the silence of cold disappointment is far more deafening than any amount of yelling could ever be.

What could i do. I know for a fact that i'd be powerless to stop it. But at least it isn't alcohol or tobacco.

Sit down and have a talk with him, communication is everything,

You must spanked him, and hard! if you want more information, you can write me to: wenseslaodemex@gmail.com
