LOL That's true Jason. I NEVER give him any large sums of money just for that reason. I know how kids can be. I used to be one. 
I just don't want my son to get the, lazy stoner mentality. I know how non-motivated it can make a person. I also don't want it to lead to anything else, like meth. The city where I live has a terrible meth problem. My step-daughter's life was almost ruined by it!! Luckily, she pulled herself out of it, with lot's of family, love and support. My son did she, first hand though, what it did to her life for quite a few years.
Hopefully this to shall pass.
Thanks guys!!

That's true Jason...I also thought of this!! It's not unusual for me to get up several times during the night and I always pop into his room. Any other pot smoking episodes he has had, he's always come to me and told me that he did it. He is usually pretty honest about most things. Maybe he did want to get caught. He seems to thrive on having set boundaries. He wouldn't admit that though.
Grammy, there are a lot of things out there now that are relatively cheap and much more sinister than stuff 'back when,' but the really primo pot has gotten rarer and more expensive. Pot has always been jokingly referred to as the biggest cash crop in Cocke County, but now high-grade stuff from there is even harder to come by and unbelievably expensive - any of the Cosby Kryptonite gets 'exported' to high dollar markets, and even the skunk weed is in big demand among the older smokers who can pay top dollar for it. That disinformation about pot being stronger now than it was is a ploy to keep the public nervous and focused on something that's relatively benign - and doesn't infringe on anyone's friends in high places . . . If you'll think about it, the only real anti-drug raving and ranting we hear from the high and mighty is about things that don't appeal to the well-to-do . . . Rich, well-known people (other than the occasional musician or actor) never get popped for drugs - and it's not because they aren't involved!
Weed is weed and it IS a LOT stronger these days than it was in the 70's and 80's. You could buy an ounce for $25-$30 bucks back then. Now it's like $60 bucks for a quarter ounce and it's STRONG!!!! (don't ask me how I know ) I don't smoke, but I'm around others that do sometimes and know. And if he's got to do some kind of drug, be glad it's that and not crack -- the cheapest and most addictive thing out there.

I smoked pot in high school and in that kind of situation, I would have been terrified to be caught by my parents. Sometimes I look at my friends who smoked for years and I really see many negative consequences such as using money for it, carrying it around (risking arrests) and a bit of slurred speech at times.
I recommend talking to him in a very respective, non-degrading tone as hard as that may be. If you throw the negative things at him and tell him its just an excuse, who knows how he will react to it. If you say things in a complacent tone, he will know that you really respect him even as your son. Those things dawned on me luckily for my parents without having to talk to me and I quit easily. Since then I've achieved so many things and turned things around.
Please PM me if you want some more info, a talking ear or advice.
