Q:
My son doesn't think there's anything wrong with smoking marijuana ever day before school. What do you think?
I discovered recently that my son is using, and abusing marijuana. He smokes every day before school (until I found out and threw out his stuff) and when I talked wtih him he said he smoked because he liked it, that it should be legal and that he will continue smoking no matter what I say. I had his guidance counselor talk to him. I tried to have a heart to heart with him recently but it failed in that he won't acknowledge anything is wrong with this behavior and that just made me angry, though fortunately I didn't lose my temper. I'm not sure what to do except find a counselor for him so perhaps the counselor can listen to him, get to the crux of things. What do you think?
