He’s 18. It’s disguised as choc squares and obviously it’s an illegal substance. He’s away atm. I had gut feel from recent conversations and from the shape and feel of package and opened it. I don’t usually open other people’s post of course but this is my son’s welfare, also my money and my home address. I’m trying to work out best approach to deal with this. Any advice? It’s the first time he’s done this.

Good job employers don’t have that view….. pocket money/allowance is their money surely

Well technically the money is his once you've handed it over. But, at 18 if he's doing stuff I don't agree with, he can pay for it himself instead of bloody scrounging.

Not seeing why OP thinks there are privacy concerns. What did she say that is identifying.

Besides, I want the lad to tell us if anything was in the chock.

If a parent voluntarily provided an allowance that is not scrounging

Glad to see the op come back and be a bit sensible about it all. Good luck @SpangledShambles with your son.

My mate's cousin ordered some CBD oil from what they thought was a reputable company; they've since had their home swamped by Holland and Barret workers and iswd as storage for crates of evening primrose oil capsules and sossmix. They could live around it all for the most part but apparently it's a nightmare getting chance to use the bathroom of a morning.
