What is the name of your state? Georgia
I kicked my son out of the house when he was 19 for smoking pot. I tried a family intercession, a drug program etc. I realized I was enabling him by letting him stay here. I tried to get him to apply for jobs etc. He lied to me and stole money, nothing worked.
Now I found my 16 year old son has been smoking pot. I searched his room and found it. He said he promised he wouldn't ever do it again, but the same pattern is happening as with his older brother. He told me everyone at school does it etc. My parents and I talked with him and I told his father (we're divorced). His dad said I am being too hard on him and that he did it when he was in high school. The problem is I have heard that it's much more dangerous than it was when I was in school and college. I have never tried it so my sons say I don't understand how harmless it is.
I am at a loss of what to do. I've restricted my son, taken everything away from him but his right to eat and sleep. Nothing seems work. My question is this. I found out from a reliable source that after school, he and his brother and some friends meet and smoke pot at a local park. I was thinking of following him, he'll think I'm at work, and when I see them call the police and have the police come and arrest them. I don't know how this works or if they'll be taken to jail or what happens. Do you think this would be a wake up call? I don't want anyone driving or getting hurt or hurting someone while smoking pot. I hope this would really scare my 16 year old. Maybe my 20 year old would be taken to jail, which may sound mean, but I think he needs this to straighten out. Thank you!
