My 13 year old smokes weed, what can I do?

I would Definitely not allow it! 13 year olds smoking weed is a disaster waiting to happen! I believe it could easily make him want to try other drugs! I would give him weekly tests, you can buy them right at Walgreens! He would be grounded to his room and wouldn’t be able to have a social life if he didn’t follow my rules!! It is AGAINST THE LAW people!! Teaching kids that they can get away w breaking the law, will only cause them future problems!! Laws are made for a reason! Put your foot down!!

I personally wouldn’t condone my 13 year old smoking HOWEVER I started smoking at 13 with my mom and TBH I did it the first time with a friend and after that I liked it and my mom saying no wasn’t going to stop me. I still did good in school never got into trouble graduated with good grades and went on just fine with life. I would ask him to not do it anymore until he’s older but you also don’t want him sneaking behind your back

I smoke…my nineteen year old smokes…that being said I would be pissed if she were getting high at 13. It’s too young.

News Flash thirteen year olds are hormonal morons. They’re reckless and don’t care about much. They fact that he’s smoking that young would prompt a lot of questions (esp seeing as how it seem OP doesn’t smoke)

The only thing you can do is be open with him about it. Unfortunately it’s what kids do but make sure he is in a safe environment and Is always careful about where he gets it. Make it an open topic Instead of something he is afraid of bringing up to you.

If he was older sure. But 13 is a bit too young. Also gotta consider if it’s legal in your state. Once they hit 15/16 then it’s time to talk responsible smoking. Like not under the influence during important things like school, family time, etc. but he’s just a baby still. But all up to you mom

The problem nowadays is that it’s to easy to get , surely you’d smell it on your child if they had been around anyone

There are 2 types of stoners…
Functional & non-functional
If he, or anyone, smokes and still maintains their grades, jobs, responsibilities, etc. It really isn’t a problem.
If not, then it is a problem.

What about explaining the medical side of things as in: your not fully developed yet, your brain is still growing, what ever extra substance your putting in your body will effect your brain and your development.

Well I have a 13 yr old and boy do they know it all. I’m not sure what your son has all done but right now its sneaking out, vaping, smoking dope, lieing. So your pretty lucky. When I found out a out vaping I took it away, shouted but now I just let it be, they will go behind your back. I pray to God he will realize that we as parents are trying to help. But he knows it all. I dont jump at anything anymore when my son wants things. The best is keep in communication with him and just dont ask a million questions, which will be hard. One day at a time but lay down the rules and stick with it. Maybe see if he is interested in a sport or other activity to keep busy away from the friends. Good luck.

Am I the only one in this comment thread that thinks the kid should be punished?? I see tons of comments about talking to him about it but not one about punishing. Be a parent not a friend and punish him. He won’t Thankyou now but he will later when he hasn’t thrown away his life by getting caught by school or cops doing drugs. Last time I checked there isn’t a state out there that allows weed to be smoked at 13. Stop being a friend and be a parent. Don’t just admit defeat and say they will do it anyway… lots of kids throw tantrums in Walmart but mine don’t. I met a woman who had a problem with her daughter in school so she walked her from one class to the next and sat with her in said class. The kid hated it so much she didn’t act out again. Now she is in college on the deans list.

I would have a conversation with him — let him know the ins & outs of smoking, & the potential dangers (by that I mean getting in trouble with the police. If you live in a state where weed is legal, this will just be a statuary offense, like underage drinking)

If he isn’t lying to you about it, then I would make an educated guess that he has a pretty good head on his shoulders! However, I think 13 is much too young to be making your own decisions, but a good age to start learning how to! Ultimately, all you can do to avoid a rift in the trust, in the relationship with your son, is to trust that he will make the right decisions after your conversation.

I personally wouldn’t openly allow my child to smoke weed until 15-16, but that, by no means, means that’s how it’s going to work out. I wouldn’t punish him or anything like that, but perhaps in the conversation make it know that as a parent, you can’t support him smoking just yet! :green_heart::green_heart::green_heart:

If my daughter came to me and told me she was smoking at 13, I’d offer her a session and I’d make her smoke so much she greens out and feels like she is going to die. She won’t smoke again for a while. The other option I guess would be a councillor or social worker to mediate and to sit down and go over the effects of drugs etc but seriously is that gonna do anything? Make that mf smoke like they’re grown if they wanna act grown.

I think you should have an honest conversation about the effects of weed and how it can lead young kids to make bad decisions. I also think you need to educate him on the fact that just because someone says it’s weed doesn’t mean it is or that it is not laced. He needs to know the dangers of buying weed from people you don’t know or smoking with people you don’t know. I do not think you need to drug test him he was honest with you. I do not think you need to go the scared straight way either. Weed can be beneficial when used in the right setting and responsibly. I do not think you should be ok with it but I also don’t think you should make him feel ashamed. He is a teenager and they will try things best to make sure he is educated.

There’s probably little you can do to stop it, but however its dealt with you dont want it changing him being honest with you and the clearly close relationship you both share… both my kids did stuff they shouldnt underage, i think we all have at some point, i would start by saying how proud n greatful you are that he would tell you the thruth even though he knew you wouldnt like it and then talk about it specifically like how it makes him feel, did he like it, why did he take it why did he like it, educate him on the pros n cons, tell him why you dont want him using. Just because its “dope” and its better than some of the alternatives out there he still a growing boy who’s brain hasnt finished developing and you dont want it having detrimental affects on him mentally or physically and like any and all drugs out there they affect people differently. I honestly believe most of these comments on here have knee jerk reacted and not put forethought into actually coming up with advice or a solution for you. Easy to say dont let him or needs new friends etc etc, and im sorry but this whole it will turn into using something worse is not very accurate at all, if he’s doing it to mask underlying isdues or have an addictive personality maybe, but weed is not a gateway drug to every other drug out there

He only 13 I would first approach the parents who allowed it . And tell them in front of him he not allowed there if he is seen there you are going to call 911( I hope doing that doesn’t cause bullying him) also for him to tell he may be crying out for help .that’s a bit too young … supposed he smokes something stronger and don’t know and have a bad reaction. Then me I would sign him up for rehab … Or a counselor. Also I would notify the school . I’ll be having everyone watching over him .

Bit of a different perspective here :wave:t2:

I started smoking around that age too, and have continued to do so into my early 20s. It used to be fun with friends, a good goofy time for a couple of years. Until it suddenly wasn’t. I became dependant on it. They say it’s not addictive, yet here I was struggling to eat, sleep, enjoy family events, and see the funny side in things. I gave up when my daughter was born, and stupidly had a joint one day after being worn out and exhausted by the responsibilities of becoming a new mum. That was about 8 months ago, and I haven’t Bebe able to put it down again.
My biggest problem, that I’ve really only just come to realise now - is that by being consistently high throughout my teenage years - the most hormonal of them all - it didn’t allow me to understand, and feel emotions and be comfortable with them. So now when things get rocky, I don’t really know how to handle them as sufficiently as I could’ve if I didn’t block everything out when I was younger.

In summary, I understand trying to feel something other than what you’re dealing with as a teenager/adult. It’s an easy solution - but a short term one that slowly becomes you’re only coping mechanism

Hello 911 my child has drugs on him.

I’m a mom & a smoker but would never allow my children to do it while under age. When my then 14 yr old got caught I explained to her that she knew my rules & it was not allowed at her age. For 1 as a child, their minds don’t work like ours. I told her it was school first and that starting to smoke at such a young age would lead to worse thing. Why? Because a kid can’t process a situation fast enough and may make some bad choices because they’re not in the right state of mind. I also told her that once she was an adult I couldn’t control what she did, I just hope she is responsible about it. We have a great relationship and she apologized and 2 yrs later she still hasn’t done it again. If you have a good relationship then talk it out, most kids are understanding when spoken to the right way. Also a punishment is needed no matter what! Our kids need to know we love them but we are their parents before we’re their friend. My girl was grounded an entire yr and her phone was taken the whole time. Good luck mama!

Honestly i would just show him studies on smoking weed at his age. It isn’t healthy but there are legal strains he can partake in when he is old enough.
I wouldn’t get mad because obviously yall have an amazing relationship. I would just be honest with how you feel.

And also tell him if he continues and keeps it from you he can still call if he feels unsafe or has a bad high. Because sometimes kids will still not listen to us.

I would be happy that he was honest but you need to put your foot down and set boundaries on this…with everyone saying “let him smoke weed I did it it’s fine-” no it’s not fine, and shame on you for encouraging this at that young an age. He’s a growing young man, and his brain still has a lot of time to mature and develop and smoking weed is detrimental to brain development, it’s proven to cause memory loss and did you guys forget the brain images they used to show you guys with the swiss hole cheese brains as a result of abusing weed? Im not saying it’s not okay to smoke, but he is too young. As an adult, or an older teenager? Sure, harder to stop them then anyways but that is too young.

No way at 13 not gonna happen if you give on one thing it will escalate. Maybe you can’t stop it but you can let him know where you stand. He has 5 years till he’s on his own. My husband smoked it I never did. I told him even as an adult I thought it was stupid. My kids do it but they are 31 and 38 but still stupid and they know under no uncertain terms are they to NEVER bring it to my house. Maybe people see it as the “safe” drug,but at 13 nope. If he went behind your back and did that really are you as close as you thought? Did he come to you and say mom my friends smoke pot?Nope you caught him was it his first time? Stand your ground as MOM.Dont try to be friends,not enemies but a parent a teacher a lead by example person. Why do people think 13 is old enough to make this decision or to say cool bust a lung kid.geesh

This is hard to answer :confused:. Everyone has a different effect when smoking it. Some people get addicted and some people don’t.

I would talk to him about the reasons why you don’t want him to smoke, and also why he even wanted to in the first place.

See if he needs therapy bc some try to self medicate and it can make some more depressed or if he just gave into peer pressure and see if there is anything you could say or do or have him say or do to get out of it next time. Hopefully he has different friends he can hang with. I didn’t smoke it until I was almost 16 and it was more about my anxiety than trying to be cool bc I literally even hid it from my friends and did it alone but when it made my migraines worse I decided it wasn’t the cure all as advertised for everyone…does help a lot of ppl just wasn’t for me and definitely probably not for a growing developing 13 yo.

Yeah 13 is pretty young still. I smoked the first time at 12 and couldn’t handle it honestly. And you never know what’s in it to be honest, I was laced atleast 3 times to the point where I never smoked it again because I was scared. But I told my aunt (who raised me) and she explained to me that it’s not safe especially at a young age, and that I shouldn’t do it. She told me I could tell her anything and she always let me be open about things with her. When I was 17 I got laced and almost died and she stayed up with me all night at 70 years old and explained this is exactly why she didn’t want me smoking. She told me when I was 18 I could make my own decisions but still needed to be careful where I got it from but I never ended up smoking after that. It’s good that he can talk to you, flipping out on him or something would make him feel like he can’t come to you and he could really need you one night if something went wrong. I would tell him he’s to young, it could be dangerous, explain the dangers and effects of smoking it that young, and tell him when he’s older you’d feel more comfortable with it maybe but there’s other things he needs to focus on right now.

I also have a 13 year old son!

Ok so I started smoking weed at 14. My sister’s ex was a dealer who lived with us. I smoked in July. (The month I lost my Grandma) I had bad nightmares. I didn’t start full on smoking till I was 18.

People think weed us a gateway drug. IT’S NOT. IT’S AN ESCAPE. From life. The reason why he’s smoking needs to be addressed. Whether it’s peer pressure or maybe something has happened that you don’t know about.

If you put your foot down, he’ll only do it behind your back. Especially if he’s doing it because of peer pressure. Maybe he has an undiagnosed personality disorder. I have BPD (borderline personality disorder) that I was diagnosed with at 46.

Whatever you decide to do, make it about him. It’s not about you, it’s him doing it. Tell him you’re uncomfortable with the situation. Let him make his own choice. Yes his brain is still developing. The thing is, you learn how to deal with feelings at a younger age. By watching those around you. Good luck :heart:

I was the same at his age if not worse… my mom found out the same kind of way. He’s going to do it regardless what you think/ feel but if you try to punish him it’s going to make him rebel more. Just be honest with how you feel about it and create boundaries. Trust and communication goes a long way… ask him of why how and how often he’s been doing it and reason with him. If he respects you and you give him understanding things will work out fine. Best of luck. Teenager’s are a tough breed of human to work with lol💜

Its weed…not like hes tripping on acid or getting wasted. Its not something that can hurt him and like you said, if you are pushy and try to keep him away from his friends hes just going to not trust you anymore and do it behind your back.

Children learn values, boundaries, the do’s and don’ts, they learn right and wrong from us. We are the parents, they are the children. Thank him for his honesty and that you value that a lot in your relationship. And that, that was such a good rare quality and that you are proud of him. In fact, to tell the truth makes him a very brave young man, as it’s easy to lie and hide from the truth, and cowards do that. It takes guts to tell the truth.

But you want him to know what is right and wrong, because you love him. And then set the rules accordingly. You have to feed his conscious with good values, boundaries, to tell him what is right and what is wrong. “my son, we don’t do drugs, it is wrong.” etc.

It will help him to discern in the future.

Don’t be afraid to let him down, don’t be afraid to disappoint, and to be a parent. Set boundaries. Children want boundaries, they don’t know what is acceptable and not, they learn it from us

Weed is not addictive. It is habit forming at most. I would talk to him. Find out why he started smoking. He’s going to smoke is he wants to smoke. I’d set some rules. Mostly making him be home or somewhere safe. Most of the time weed is not going to make him “crazy” unless it is laced with something else. As far as a “gateway drug”…I call BS. I’ve been smoking 30+ years. I’ve never been interested in doing the hard drugs. Marijuana is a plant, made by God. It has medicinal values. I’d just talk to him and find out why he wants to smoke. Address that issue.

It’s fantastic that he’s so honest with you. Because of his age though, he really shouldn’t be smoking. Since he clearly feels comfortable enough to tell you things, you could educate him on weed.

Tell him he’s a minor and it’s not legal every where? Maybe he will understand. The weight of that. It’s illegal unless for medical use some places. And some places not even medical use is allowed I think ?

It’s only weed, not hard drugs. The more you forbid it, the more tantalising it will become. Don’t let him smoke inside, only outside.

Explain to him there is much more to life than just smoking on a friend’s couch. You want him to experience those things and you’re afraid it will get out of hand. Keep that communication open :heart:

Also ask him why he smoked… was it because his friends were? Was he just curious? This is not to belittle him, but his friends will not always have his best interests or safety in mind. He needs to be aware and confident enough to make HIS own choices.

Personally, if I were in this situation and I would have a real discussion with him. I’d be open and honest about the risks of doing any type of drug and the potential it has and the impact it would have on your life.

Kids/teens will do things even if their parent tells them no, but an important thing is to be open and willing to talk to your kid about it. Don’t shun him or make him feel bad, he’ll hide it. Try and be as transparent as possible and let him explain.

Peer pressure is still very much real so I wouldn’t go Rambo on him, give him support and talk it through. Good luck mama :four_leaf_clover:

Counseling maybe. An after school activity which prohibits use. Do what you can as a mama. You’ll both feel better for it.

Starting small can lead to big and in future kid will endup be criminal bec they can’t get what they want . I would teach my son to say and hopefully he can change friend life too

Mom talk to him . Tell him your feelings. Please don’t over react. Also sit up a code with this child. Say he texts you the word red. YOU make up a reason to get come get or have someone is even better no questions ask . Call him back say you have to come get him or so and so will be picking him up whatever happened ( could be a friend showed up from out of town) then get him . Kids are going to make mistakes
