I'm absolutely livid, my son came home this evening never usually even goes out and is a sensible boy we are very close. I knew straight away he didn't look right and I asked had he been drinking he said he had a few beers i was very cross told him to go to bed and we'd talk tomarrow (hes never drank alcohol) a few minutes later he called me into his room and told me he took some of a cart or something. I am so disappointed in him, how do I handle this I feel so cross and upset with him and worried if hes ok to go to sleep.

Don’t be cross. It’s done. It’s very, very positive that he told you. I’d take it as an opportunity to drill down on everything. Who are his friends, who can he call on help (from you or another trusted friend or relative)
Why did he take it? How does he feel now? What does he know about spice and other drugs. Curfew and find friends?

I'm terrified to go to sleep incase something happens him, hes trying to sleep just complaining its too warm. He told me who give him it too, i don't know the mum but she allows her son to take it. I will have a good talk with him tomorrow. He is very open with me that I'm so grateful for.

He has a good knowledge of drugs, I've had very detailed chats about it, this town is full of them.

Go to the site ask Frank and look up spice it will have all the ins and outs of it on there.
Some of the manmade stuff is worse than the traditional drugs of yester year.

Are you sure it was actual spice? As in the synthetic drug? Where we are teens use 'spice' as a generic term for all drugs.
