Do you recognise this drug paraphernalia?

[tex111]

Collecting dirty dishes in DS's (16) room and found this. It reeks of cannabis but does anyone know what the paper tubes are for? They're empty, just little cardboard tubes. I couldn't find anything by googling. Thanks.

Looks like roach... substitute for cigarette filters.

Are they roaches?

Gosh 'roaches' are far more sophisticated now aren't they! They used to be a bit if ripped up fag packet!

They are flavoured roaches. Used for smoking cannabis. There may be glass ones too.

Sos you buy a little booklet these days of you order from Amazon you get free roaches with fab papers.
No more vandalised b&h packs

Thank you so much! I know he occasionally smokes cannabis but feared the cardboard tubes were used for something more serious. Whew!

I’d be heartbroken if I found this in DC’s room. 16 is still a child. I hope you’ve stopped giving him any money whatsoever. You, at least, shouldn’t be funding this crap!

Actually that's incredibly serious for a 16 yo for all sorts of reasons, including brain health and mental health. But fill your boots!

Whew!

16 and smoking illegal drug, whew!

Whew? Really?

I wouldnt be relieved.

Definitely roaches. I too understand why you’re relieved. prepare yourself for many lectures though

prepare yourself for many lectures though

regular drug taking by 16 year olds is not really something to minimalise or feel relieved about, it really isn't! Most (or all I know) parents on finding this would not be thinking Whew! Fair enough if the OP is working hard on that situation, but saying Whew gives that impression to other parents that they don't need to worry and it's ok when it is far from it.

my father started smoking weed young ,he went from having a private education having a full university education to living on benefits .It destroyed his mental health.He ended up relying on it every time he felt even a bit stressed. My memory's of him are a extremely intelligent man who was extremely paranoid.

Problem is how do you tackle this without pushing them away.Teens dont respond well to lectures and will hide things more if you get angry.
