Marijuana Addiction & Recovery Support Group
This community is dedicated to those looking to overcome their addiction to marijuana, a drug produced from parts of the cannabis plant. Join the group to find support among people who are also looking to cease their habit of smoking marijuana, share your experience, and get advice. It's not easy to kick the habit, but together we can.
Son has significant psychiatric issues: depression, ODD, CD, and started smoking weed heavily during the summer. When he was smoking, he was late for school (in fact, failed summer school); when he went off it, he turned extremely agressive (ODD behavior x 10).
He was brought before a judge, who mandated chemical dependency treatment, and told son that he did not clean up his act, he would be placed in residential treatment center.
Son continues to smoke weed, and "Spice Gold", despite judge's warning about being placed out of the home. He smoked in the restroom at school, and was suspended. I found weed packaged for resale in his winter coat, and turned it in to his probation officer. He cannot kick the habit.
I would appreciate any suggestions from those who have had to deal with this addiction. I do NOT need to hear from stoners who think that weed is not a problem: for a 15 year old kid, it is wrecking his life.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
I guess my best advice is to just love your son and advise him that if he's not ready to give it up, at least go along with the program until his legal troubles are over with. This is no joke and could come back to haunt him. He will not stop until he comes to the same realization I came to. Try to minimize your battles, since nothing but hurt will come from this and you will grow further apart in the short term. Also, never give up and try to instill a solid foundation. No matter how far I strayed, I am very thankful for the solid foundation my parents provided for me. Eventually he will revert to that. It will take a lot of hurt on his part and a lot of painful lessons....I'm still learning them. Most of the friends I made revolved around this stupid plant and guess what? They're not around anymore. They were false friendships based on getting high. Long story short, he has to WANT to change. Maybe you could steer him and guide him and help him reach the same conclusion. I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you'd like. I think it will benefit me as well, since I now WANT to change and I think helping others will help me as well.
