18 year old making life hell

[1newname]

I don't know what to do. I'm up at this time because 18 year old ds gets up in the night for food and I cannot get back to sleep. He's addicted to weed and it's destroying him. He finished his a levels mid June and has nothing lined up. He keeps saying he's going to look for a job. His friends don't contact him and he barely leaves the house. It feels like a nightmare and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

Addiction is much more complicated……

You could look at where weed comes from (Jamaica) and give him information on what it does to him. Give him the negatives as well as the positives on the drug on what it can do for the body.

I got this from someone who works in addiction. Ignore my earlier post.

A lot of people do use it for medicinal purposes. My partner's mum gave it to him when he was a child to bring down his temperature it opens everything up and purges it out of his body. It's also used as a relaxant but your son is abusing it so there maybe more going on his mind that he is not talking about.

I completely get it. I've been told to kick my daughter out too. But to what? And to what ends? If they have no sense of responsibility or consequences they would end up with people with similar behaviours and things would spiral and ur still in pain. This time from afar.

Same time. I know there is a breaking point. Sending my love to you x
