He came home stoned.

I just need to vent.

My 18 year old son that usually lives 90 minutes away to 'study' has come home for the weekend. He went out to his friends earlier. I went upstairs to say good night to my 14 year old and I could smell the weed before I got up the stairs. My 18 year old and his 19 year old twat of a mate had climbed up the side of the house, whilst stoned and got in through the window of my 14 year olds bedroom and they hid as they heard me coming up the stairs. One hid down the side of the bed, the other in the loft space.
I am beyond raging at the stupidity, the stench of weed in my sons room and that my 14 year old has had to see his big brother in such a state.

I made myself feel slightly better by launching the stoners trainers out the bedroom window. Fingers crossed for a heavy frost tonight.

Thanks for your time MNers.

The climbing into your son's room is worse than the getting stoned OP.

Getting stoned is normal at 18. I personally don't like it...I think it's bad for some kids as weed is very strong these days and it can trigger mental health issues.

But you need to relax a bit! Your 14 year old will have a story to tell!

I told the 18 year old he can use the door on any occasion. Stoned or not. Not the window. Yes, the climbing up through the window is what got to me most, very dangerous and it's pretty high, however, his 14 year old brother has autism, asthma and a bad chest right now. He didn't need the smell or the confusion or the midnight wake up call. My son also looked awful which the 14 year old would've found quite uncomfortable.

I'm as alright as I can be about it now. I just needed to rant/vent.

I also don't like it and it's dangerous as it's not always a good mix. My older brother started smoking weed at 15 and went on to use heroin and cocaine. It ripped our family apart. I know he's not my brother but if I don't tell him what I know then that's not responsible parenting. I don't want it to become a habit for him.

I'll never be ok with him smoking weed.
