Hi Linda, and All.
I find it so frustrating that the Mental Health teams can only intervene if the person wants them too. Your son is not in a stable mindset to make that decision and as his Mom you know that’s what he needs. We are currently going through a similar situation with another family member, not drug related but they need MH support, but they are not receptive. If you’re son is a danger to his own life and others I think they can section him, but you really need to push for it, they don’t do it lightly,
The whole culture around weed is bad, young people want it to be like the USA and legal. That would only encourage my son, not deter him!
You and your son are in my thoughts. I really hope he gets the help he needs. X
