What is the best way to get my 15 year old off Pot?
Answer:
let them know that they are too young to be experimenting with pot. i smoke pot and advocate its use, for the of age crowd. you have t o talk to them. tell them it is not ok. but then you also have to think, kids are gonna do whatever they can get away with mostly. if there isnt a way to get him to quit, maybe allowing him to smoke, but only at home, where you can monitor him. -- he's not out getting arrested for being under the influence. he shouldnt be doing it at school. he needs to be a good kid, do his schoolwork. i have some friends who were allowed to smoke at about that age, but at home, where they were safe. they did ok in school, and never went to jail, one has a decent job and a husband, one is divorced with 2 kids under 3, not ideal but hey. another alternative, what my parents did to me when i was 15 and tried pot for mayeb the 3rd time. they packed me up and took me to rehad for 45 days, with an aftercare program. my roomate was a 17 year old heroin addict. there was a lso a girl i became friends with who was 14 y/o who had an abortion. there were group home kids as well. now i think that was a little harsh, for me, but it had me straightened right out. i "thought" i was a drug addict/alchoholic and i went to AA and NA religiously. nonetheless i was clean for the rest of my highschool years. and graduated. not long after i relapesed, a little over 3 years clean. i went out and did all those things that the drug addicts in the na meetings talked about. i realized i have those tendecys. ive grown up. im almost 25 and havent done any drugs in almost 5 years. i smoke pot every day. i don't like to drink, but may have one with dinner. and after all i turned out alright
so there are many ways you can go with this.
figure out if it is casual use that is not affecting his life, and school, or is it getting out of control? good luck to you guys!
She needs drug rehab and counseling, but she has to be willing for it to work. It is tough being a parent. Love her anyway and do not support the habit which I am sure you do not.
Drug them.

my mom asked that same question when i was smoking pot.
here is a couple things she did to make me kick that habit
1)drug test randomly (if they will not take a home test take them to a clinic my mom went to kaiser)
2)if test is dirty no money! at all not even for lunch. ( i spent my lunch money on pot and a lot of my friends did to)
3)enroll in a rehab class that require drug tests(again my mom went to kaiser)
4)talk to them and tell them how much it hurt you let them know it is a gate way drug and will lead to other drugs...(trust me i have lots and lots of personal experience with this i seen a lot of people ruin their lifes)
5)pot is a drug and will only lead to 3 things: jails institutions and death.
6)take him/her to NA or AA meetings if he smoking pot he is most likely drinking too.
there is nothing you can do to make him/her completely stop unless she wants to. but you can show your teen that you love them. pot for a teenager is usually just a habit and will stop eventually but if he she starts ruining his/her life over it, in care rehab for 30-60 or 90 days is the best thing to help them... it may hurt you to send your baby away for that long but it is better than jail, institutions or death
hope this helped
