I don’t think that you would be charged or get in trouble with police. There must be thousands of cases like this.

I’ve handed the police drugs at least twice and they took them without charging my daughter.

They were for her use only though.

I think the police are looking at the bigger picture, ie the big dealers as young kids are vulnerable to coercion .

Good luck , I wish I had the answers I really do.

I’m a nurse and my partner also has a responsible job it’s a nightmare for us.

My daughter smokes weed daily but is also addicted to Xanax.

She doesn’t eat, covered in bruises and can’t remember what she did from one day to the next!

Totally turned our world upside down.

At least he isn’t smoking it in the house, my daughter does but constantly denies that she is !

You could always come down really hard on him and say if you see anymore in the house you will call the police and he’ll get charged with possession and intent to supply. This may deter him .

If he’s selling the weed then surely he’s actually making money so shouldn’t need to borrow from you.

My teen thinks she knows best and all you can do is be there for him, offer advice and hope he makes the right decisions.

Is he at school or college?

I feel your worry as we’ve been dealing with issues around drugs for some time now!

On a positive note at least he isn’t taking anything else!

Hi yes this is a tricky situation, not only do you worry about the drug taking but also the things this can lead to, ie who he is associating with and what other drugs are being used by his friends.

You could check to see if he has another phone, or try and look through his messages as this will tell you a lot about what’s going on in his life.

I don’t want to scare you but I know from personal experience with my own child how things can escalate

Yes several times, last summer she was in hospital 4 times in 2 weeks with overdose. She was on a children’s ward as was 16 then. She’s been referred to Cahms several times and has finally been assessed but we are still waiting to here from them.

It’s a long story but both myself and her dad have had time off work and her 2 younger siblings are suffering as all our time and energy goes on their sister.

She’s doing well at an apprenticeship but was sent home from college last week as was high and erratic, if she does it again she will loose the job and then she’ll hit rock bottom.

She hands around and associates with dealers, shop lifts etc all the usual things an addict gets up to.

We are again living day to day… literally I’m now waiting for her to wake up and I know she’ll kick off as is withdrawing.
