1. Oh hells yeah!

My house, my rules, donchaknow!

2. No, but he needs to grow up

and start relating to his parents as fellow adults rather than as someone to rebel against. If somebody was smoking pot under my roof without permission, I'd be livid.

3. Nah. Just confiscate the weed.

At least that's what I'd do. :evilgrin:

(when my father was alive, he'd have insisted it be shared)

4. Fuck no.

You don't get the cops involved in your kid's life unless they are a danger to themselves or others.

Pot is not a "danger".

5. wrong kind of tough love

Give him a criminal record and next thing ya know you'll be supporting him the rest of his life.

Just kick his ass the to curb till he learns to mind his manners. Better yet, treat him like I treat my dog when he crosses the stree...er, the line trying to get extra attention. Jail time in the locked crate with the big IGNORE.
