This is my biggest fear, if he tries other substances and becomes addicted to harder drugs. He has said that he has never thought about harder stuff and he seems genuine. I had a quick chat with him tonight about cutting down his use and he said he wants to so I suggested a calendar like suggested by Danman and he said he’ll try it. Although he done this when he attended the addiction group and that only lasted a short time, but at least he was willing to speak about it. I also laid it on the line about his mental health and the consequences of extended cannabis use.

I work in mental health services and deal with drug and alcohol addictions most days so it’s my worst fear to see my son like some of the poor souls I work with.
