Stoned in Christmas day!

My 19 year old who supposedly has been off drugs yet seems to to sleep all day has been vaping THC! I knew something was off but couldn't find it. Decided to try some as some much to his horror as some of the oils different colour! He finally admitted it was THC. My life with him is becoming like something like EastEnders. His Db is patiently waiting to open presents, grandparents later today too. How do I carry on without ruining it for everyone else.

I honestly would never have known but his behaviour was more off then normal plus sleeping lots. I was worried it was his mental health but no he's just been casually vaping drugs in my house.

I’d just let him quietly get on with it and sleep it off and try to enjoy the time with your other family. Then maybe address it after Christmas with him.

Does he have big mental health issues? Does he use other substances?

He was smoking weed and dangling in other drugs, working crowd etc. now staying home but was sleeping loads the last week and I found food missing. I just knew he wasn't right. Today he even looks yellow so he's been doing it a while god knows what he is inhaling.

Just forget about it, give him some food & let him cabbage on the sofa don't let it ruin Christmas deal with it tomorrow.

At least it wasn't cocaine or heroin!

Don't spoil your Christmas with a row but address it tomorrow Op. He thinks he's got around you by smoking drugs in your home on the sly and that's an insult to your intelligence

crafty976 · 25/12/2023 12:51

if it was crack or fentanyl, heroin or
cocaine, I'd be angry. But weed? As long
as it's not a daily thing, I'd let it pass.

Universalsnail · 25/12/2023 12:58

Tbh he's 19 and it's weed. Really don't think this is worth ruining Christmas over. He's lieing about it because he knows he can't be honest with you about it without you getting upset. Try a more accepting approach on the condition he doesn't lie to you. Just let his brother open his presents without him

I had to google THC, thought it was some kind of new methy drug I'd not heard of.

Just weed from what I can tell, which for a 19 year old isn't that OTT surely. This thread is a much tbh, leave him to it and enjoy your day without him.

But he obviously has been vaping it daily and in my house. He has also used Christmas money to buy it from grandparents. He lost his job a few months ago. And has been sleeping pretty much all day, every day. So it's a problem. Just unfortunate I found out today.

I wouldn't tackle this today op or the whole day will be ruined for you all.

My son just told me his 17 year old friend got a bong for Christmas off her mum!

I hope you manage to enjoy your Christmas, I know it's a worry x
