My fifteen old nephew is using pot he admits to using it and says he thinks there is nothing wrong with using, from what we have found out he does not have to pay for it, he gets it from his friends, when his mother tells him she is going to drug test him he tells her that she will find the pot in his system. Last week she found a home made bong under his bed along with a very realistic toy gun, he said the gun was nothing and the bong well he was just trying to see if he could make one.. this afternoon his dad called after he came home from there and told his mom that they found a bong in a pouch with residue of pot. I am not sure how much he is using, and he is not a hostile child he is a very likeable child, he is not even that defiant, but I know that this could get worse, My sister is so upset about this she has tried grounding him and taking things away from him telling him that he will not get his driving licensce next month unless his drug test is clean, but he still says that he likes it his friends accept him more and that he sees nothing wrong with it.. we also found a switch balde knife in his pocket he stole from his dad today.. We have never found nothing but pot in his system but pot....We do not know what the next step is .. Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaesssssssssse any advice will help
Dear trying at age 14 i was smoking pot thought the samething that it was harmless well as a long story short im 37 now and a 10 year crack addict its been a long hard road and dont recomend it!! Get a grip on this kid now for his sake involve whatever u have to police/courts whatever he may get mad but its for his protection.. Any kid that can have access to pot has access to many more harmfull drugs and some it only takes 1 time to become a life long subsciber..........good luck...............anniesdad
i have a brother who started with pot when he was about 14. he was addicted to heroin by his late teens. access to these other drugs is as easy as candy at the corner grocery, in the schools, on the streets, but mostly from other friends. i know, i just finished raising 3 teenagers.
Well, I'll just chime in there and say that I started at that age and used addictively (alcohol and pot mostly but a variety of hard drugs as well) for 20 years.
You might get some better input as to how to handle this situation on the Families and Partners board.
At that age, he doesn't realized that he is playing Russian Roulette, only there are five bullets in the gun, not one.
Good luck

I suggest you try talking to your nephew about what it could do to him and make sure he knows you really care ;)
