My 14 year old daughter says she's addicted to pot. I am totally against drugs, and she keeps smoking it in my house!!! I have called several agencies for help, but I have had to leave messages with all...and I'm still waiting f

Have you tried bending her over your knee and whipping her ass raw? If not that may have been your problem all along.

Pot isn't physically addictive, she can quit cold and not suffer any negative side affects.

Whip her ass and tell her if she keeps this shit up you'll kick her out.

EDIT: to be clear, I'm assuming your the mother here, if your not I don't have any advise.

I was a teen not that long ago. its a hard time, pot was an escape route. and i can honestly say probably about 60%-70% of my school (which was about 3000 kids) smoked pot.
its stupid to say, but its just something they go through. and its not addicting, thats just an excuse. just be thankful its not something else. Just keep a close eye on her.

Dont fight her as it could only make things worse. Try and understand what she gets from smoking weed. You are against, she obviously isnt. You are forming a barrier in your relationship, rather than a bridge. Maybe show some interest in it, and she might respect you more. Suggest her smoking outside if possible???Why dont you have a smoke with her.Suprise her one day, by some papers and get a friend of yours to hook you up with some weed(one of your friends must smoke or can get it for you)..When you have dinner, tell her you are having a joint for dinner....

If you take a negative view towards her smoking she could possibly try other drugs because of depression,etc...You dont want that. Cannabis is pretty harmless, educate her about the dangers of things like heroin and cocaine,etc...Show some love to the weed.Its less addictive than caffiene

Its impossible to be addicted to weed.

Please take hold of the situation and take the pot away from her. I don't care if she gets angry! Take it away and then take her to an agencies for help. I written this as a retired narcotica officer. This is not a time to play!

if u dont like my answer dont read it all and is this not a question and avswer site? i could understand if i answerd you with something that was completly irelvent but i didnt, just becuase you dont like the answer doesnt mean u can dimiss it. u asked i gave

Ok, if she has it in your house and for whatever reason the cops find it in your house, you can loose your house. It is your house, your rules. She is a minor. If you take her to a rehab place, she has no choice. A parent can do that, and the kid has to do it. Don't let her out of the house. Ground her, take her phone, whatever you have to do. Get control now. She is 14, you don't want to let her get conrol or you will never regain it.

What does UR'ed mean?

omg the parenting in america is atrocious, i cant say in britian no child smokes pot but they are the ones who live in shit and have nothing u obviously have a computer and therefore not that bad a life style. u seriously need to change ur parenting skills. one make her be in early at night times to prevent getting the drugs. 2, make her come stright home from school, inform the school and make them seperate her from her friends and make her live the shit that she obviously think she has to make her smoke pot. inform the school move her schools. move her schools is the best option. u dont care wot embarass ment she goes thro she gets to live the shit she thinks there is to make her smoke it. then shell think twice. agencies are shit. do everything u can to keep her in the house with u and move her schools or make the school seperate her from her current friends, PUNISHMENT IS JUSTICE

Well what you need to do is get your wife. Have her extend arm and bring it across her head quickly because I know for a fact after many years of experimenting with drugs in many different varietys. No I wouldnt call it experimenting I'd call it living off of them. That you can NOT be in any way addicted to the bud bareing plant Canibus Sativa. Nor can you ever be. Sure it might feel great but she is BULLSHITTING YOU. If there are drugs heavier than "pot" around your area why dont you give her a ride threw the ghetto and point out some dope and crackfiends and say this is REAL addiction and thats your future if you do not quit this. Weed can not do that to you, but it is a gateway drug which destroys your standards and eventually makes you think "I do this stuff all the time.. How could this other stuff hurt?". Explain it is a gateway drug and the older people that do it that supply it to younger people usually are using alot worst stuff and are supporting their habbit by selling the weed to young people. Your kid needs a good kick in the ass for lying. I've probably smoked more pot in a day or week of my life then she has in her entire exsistence and I never felt "Addicted". I just started feeling paranoid after getting chaised threw the woods at jobcorps from the guards so we could get far enough away to toss the shit then get brought in.

Ok, there is no way she is physically addicted to pot and hardly possible that she is mentally addicted. But, if for the rare chance that she is addicted you can try contacting these people:

I have to ask why you are against pot though? I think the easiest way to conquer addicted is education. Read up on all drugs at this site. It is very informative and balanced.

And at 14 how does she have the money to buy the pot? Is she working? If so then make her quit her job. Is she stealing from you, if so then lock up everything valuable. I am not against marijuana but I am 150% for listening to your parents (being a parent myself). You have a choice to make, because smoking at a young age can affect her school work and ability to get inot college or certification program. You can either find a PT job and stay at home with her or get a sitter until she overcomes this 'addiction'.

I think though that her saying she is addicted is an excuse to continue to smoke and thinks that makes it acceptable.

YOU are the parent and YOU make the rules. SHE is the child and needs to respect that.

Well I would have gone old school first time I see her with a spliff on her mouth inside my house!! a hard dry slap to make that spliff fly across the room!!! it might not had solved the problem but for sure would open a route for dialog!!

I have threatened to kick her out...I actually looked up one of those boot camps for teens on the internet. Do you know how much they cost? I search her room on a regular basis and dump anything I find. She says someone gives it to her and she doesn't have to buy it

hmmm...I'm assuming you don't have a teenager.She smokes it in the upstairs bathroom while I'm sleeping or outside or working in my office in the basement. She blows it out the window and sprays the oust to get rid of the smell.

Well first comes to first, she could be doing coke or herion. It seems bad but pot is not that bad to smoke. Look at the positive side. To fix the problem every time she smoke in your house take her stash or pipe away. Talk to her and ask her questions about why she does it, when she started and why she thinks she is addicted. I have smoke it medicaly for a few years now and im in college and have a well paying job. Pot wont ruin your life if you smart about it. Oh and P.S. Make her do a report on it, the positives and negitives.

that is total dis respect for her to smoke it in your house. she's obviously trying to p*#s you off by telling you and doing that. To be honest what ever you say she is still going to do it, thats what any teenager does! all you can do is discuss the dangers and what would happen if the police catch her smoking it etc.. but tell her, if you catch her smoking it in the house, your going to take it and flush it down the toilet.

Traditionally, in the Chinese culture, they tie up the addict to a chair and keep him/her away from the drug/addiction. After one or two days, release them and they will not be addicted anymore. Unfortunately, this is the modern world and we probably can't d that in most countries. Try consulting a hypnotist.

I have taken pot before for two years and I have not been addicted.Same goes to all my colleagues.We are healthy people today. She can stop taking if there is enough will power in her.You just have to keep on trying to get her to stop. She may be having other reasons not to stop. Reasons that I had experienced were boredom,feeling unwanted,feeling unhappy with the school system,feeling that the world was coming down on me.With all these ,I gave up hope and tend to be poor in personal discipline such as being lazy and poor in personal hyegine.The circle that I was with were the same people who shared the pots with me.Influence of friends such as this, made me a pot lover.I finally gave up pot because there were still some concerned people around that stopped me from taking pots. You will have to do the same too. If there is a way to move her out from the area or transfer her away to other resident free from pot supply, that will be good for her. I wish her well soon.Take care.

Who do I turn her in to? The police? I don't know if I could do that

I sugest that you turn her in. if you love her you are going to do what is best thats why I whent to DYS

Um - why don't you stop her?

confiscate her stash!!!!! take her money!!!!! threaten to kick her out if you have too!!!!!!!

Have that little brat put in rehab ! dont let her disrespect you like that !

shes doing it cause she thinks its cool. it all has to do with her influences at school n stuff. my cousin who is now 15 pulled the same thing when she was 14 and was saying she was an alcoholic and all this. they like the attention and think there more mature. i guess a good thing to do is find cousins of hers or neighbors a little older than her that are attractive, outgoing, go out alot but dont participate in any sort of drug abuse and feel negatively about it. it will show her that drugs dont make her cool and theres way better funner things to do and smoking is just dumb

report er 2 tha police or just threaten her den she will soon giv it up

Take away anything that's important to her if she continues to treat you with such blatant disregard, like a cell phone or computer. its not about the pot so much as the principle. also if she can afford it then you are giving her way too much allowance. sounds like you need to tighten your grip, and this coming from an 18 year old who occasionally smokes pot (I'm a college student)

its true that you can not get a physical addiction to pot but some people can get a mental addition witch your daughter might be talking about. im 15 and i smoke and i know that half of my class grade has at least tried it.

as much as its a stress reliever she can find other things in life that help her relieve her stress try giving her oppurtunities to find some new things in her life she just needs someone to be there for her..........it doesnt mean shes a bad kid shes just misguided

okay, my brother's in this same thing right now with my parents. i would suggest regular home drug testing, and a set, strict punishment for when she doesn't pass. if she doesn't pass 2 weeks in a row, make the punishment worse. believe me, she'll quit with or without rehab. she just wants your attention, good or bad.

I dont see any thing wrong with pot as i have smoked it my self You CANT get addicted too the pot its self but You CAN Get addicted too the highs > if she smokes it every dayy like i did for about 7 months im clean of it now as i have got bored of it all it does is makes things and sound look and sound abit different and makes u extremely tired which i dont see the point in > but as i said if she smokes it every dayy her bodyy will have got addicted to feeling high so every dayy she may feel grumpy if she doesnt get pot when she needs it because her body is relying on her to feel those highs because thats what her body will of got used too. if she smokes it in the house which isnt fair on u and she needs to get a bit of respect there becuase its really not fair on youu and the people in the house. i just wanted to sayy my opinion which i have and i hope u dont mind. x
