I do hope all your boys come through this. Similar situation however my 21 and 18 year old son are both weed users and during lockdown my husband has also started using, I’m so stressed about it all and currently they go outside in the shed as I won’t allow it in the house, it started at weekends but then gets more often and creeps into the week it’s currently 3 or 4 times a week. They are currently all holding jobs down and say they prefer to smoke weed than drink alcohol, thy also use edibles, and argue thier case by telling me it’s better than some hard drugs thier friends are using. My eldest son suffers with anxiety and depression and I’m so scared the weed smoking 1) is him trying to self medicate and 2) going to turn into him suffering with psychosis. I feel so alone as my husband (of 30 years – not a user until lockdown) thinks I’m overreacting and that there’s nothing wrong with him smoking a joint with his boys. I have read loads and loads around the subject but am so confused as to how to handle it as they are not aggressive, they are quite fun and nice to be with when they have smoked it. They also go to work have friends and eldest has a lovely girlfriend (not a weed smoker) but I’m scared it’s only a matter of time before the downward spiral starts, I just want them to want to stop!! I’d be grateful for any advice. Xxx
