I think my son is doing crack. He is 30 years old and I am not sure what to look for.. He has had this problem in the past. I notice that he can not sleep good he is always moving around when he goes to sleep. I never noticed him talking in his sleep before or thrashing his arms and legs. Is this a sign and what should I do? When I ask him about it he just gets mad at him for not trusting him..
Can't believe that nobody has posted anything into here - there are so many crack addicts online here - somebody must know some telltale signs ?!
There are so many signs that are sadly also part of being a teenager - secretive, angry, sleepy at the wrong times etc.
I'm really sorry but I've no experience of crack - normal coke, then YES I could give you loads of signs.
If you want an 'underhand' way of finding out, buy yourself a 'drug test' online, and sadly young lads never seem to aim straight in the toilet do they ? Use a missed drop or two of his urine and see for yourself. Don't WHATEVER you do use it as proof though, as his impression of you will dip to zero. If he is using then confront him with your initial fears, but with the knowledge in the back of your mind that he is.
Er... does this make sense ?
good luck !

I would do what James suggested. Take a small urine sample either by sneaking it, or if you have to ask him for it. I would not just jump to the conclusion that your son is using. If he is smoking Crack, you may look for pipes, stems(glass tubes with brillo pads in the end), lighters, small plastic pieces used to hold the dope, or little vials. Him spending lots of time in his bedroom, or bathroom, or frequent trips to the bedroom....money missing even small amounts, you can buy 10$ worth.
My ex used to do crack, but it was mainly heroin.
He didn't have a pipe - over in the states it seems they are common place. Here in the UK they may be too, but he always used coke cans!! May sound daft, but thats what he and his drug crowd did.
He would be wide eyed and agitated, often sweaty, but I'm not sure if that was the H or the crack.
If you do a google search for symptoms of crack use that may be helpful?
Good luck, I hope it all works out x
