He’s 18 and if you SAY anything to him or have him arrested or anything like that, he PROBABLY won’t speak to you ever again…. I have an older brother who, in 1969 came home from college with hair to his EARS and our father kicked him out of the house because he REFUSED to get it cut in the BRUSH CUT my father approved of…. My father died in 1994 and my older brother didn’t go to the funeral and did not speak ONE WORD to him again in 25 YEARS… and this was just over a HAIRCUT!!!! (men can be stubborn)… Along that line,… your son will NOT quit pot until it gets too expensive for him … some people even smoke it into their 30′s and 40′s and sacrafice other things just to be able to afford the pot. It’s really too bad these kids can’t take a FIELD TRIP to their local teaching hospital and go to the cadavor labs and see exactly what the affects of pot and other drugs (INCLUDING CIGARETTES) can do to the human body….. Maybe you can call some drug councellors and see if they might have photos of distroyed braincells and distroyed livers and kidneys and hearts and lungs that drugs have destroyed… I’ve been on my son’s back since HE was 18 as well—he’s 29 now and a martial arts EXPERT (4th degree black belt) he smokes a LOT les when he’s in training (thankfully—and he’s in training NOW), …..sometimes, these kids have to learn lessons all by themselves…..but, if he is living under YOUR roof, PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN gently—like NO car for a while ESPECIALLY if he’s been DRIVING stoned…but like I said, you have to be careful or you could lose him FOREVER…just like my father and brother…My son is a good person OTHER then his pot smoking —but bugging him to STOP could push him further into it….

I just believe you can not stop a person no matter what age they are to stop smoking weed. The person would stop smoking only if they are ready not just because you are a concerned person

Show him one of those videos they make us watch in health class with the people that breathe through holes in their necks and stuff. Errlack. That makes me never want to smoke!

weed isn’t too bad… he’ll stop by himself in a couple years… don’t worry about weed… it might be better for him to smoke weed than cigarettes actually

Well… if he’s hooked to it, then there is not any very good ways to influence him to stop. If he’s high he’s not going to listen to nobody, no matter what. And plus, weed isn’t the worst drug to be on…. It’s actually the best. people just tell you it’s bad because they’ve never done it. I know a guy who has smoked it for 15 years and he’s in perfect shape. He get’s me 100′s on my test in geometry. So it does not damage what you think it damages. He’s a teenager and he just wants to have fun. He will eventually grow out of it. Look on the bright side AT least it’s not crack

kick him out the house if he doesn’t, or send him to re hab.

It may hurt you, but it don’t hurt him. Mind your own business, and leave him alone. If he was on the crack pipe, or slamming dope, I could sympathize w/ you and empathize w/ him, but he’s doin’ just fine, and you are being downright hysterical. get a grip. ask him for a hit and you’ll feel a lot better, and I am not being sarcastic, I am dead serious.
