    I dont know, i've been thinking about this alot, because i have acouple of drug addicted friends but they are heavier shit than weed... and it seems like its impossible to stop people until they hit rock bottom..

    I dont think taking him to a ghetto will work because he will just think 'this will never be me'..

    i dont think smoking him crazy will work because the fear will only last a few weeks/months

    It all lays in his friends, if he gets friends who dont do drugs, he'd feel stupid all fucked up around alot of sober people..

I'm totally paying for it now, so I can at least try to give ya some good suggestions on how to talk to him from a non-authoritive POV.

                            Exactly! Plus I was a member of AA for 6 moths after rehab & hated it so much I quit goin'...& I wanted to quit. Too much like a cult to me.

                                dorm room? at 15? must be at a private boarding school..........which in my experience have worse problems with drugs and alcohol abuse than public schools.

                                he's 15, sadly there's almost nothing an older sister can say, or even a parent that will stop him from doing whatever he's doing, peer group is way more important at that point than family.

                                Tough love sometimes is the best thing, but it's also risky. Last resort if he's turning into a potential tragedy is to get really tough and take away most of his freedoms and privileges.

                                i'd hate to be a parent of a kid who has a drug problem, i'm not talking pot, i'd be happy if that was the only thing he was doing, but the rest of it, acid, ecstasy, cocaine, heroin - nightmare for a family.

                                            Most of my adult life I have been a cop, I used to take some kids on what we call here a "ride-a-long program" they went everywhere I went and did everything I did for a 12hour shift. We have huge meth problem here and some of the things those kids saw I doubt they will ever forget.

                                            I used to tell them that this is where you end up when it goes from being cool to being hooked.

                                            Don't know if it ever helped anyone but I do know from there parents that they told story after story when they got home.

                                            If you know a cop who works in a not so great area like I did it might be an idea. Most departments have some sort of program where people can ride a long.

                                                You're right. I know a few people that overcame extreme addictions by going to NA and AA. One has been sober for two decades now. I also know a couple that runs an AA meeting and have been clean for 20 years or so.

                                                There is nothing that is a solution for everyone. Some people go to NA and hate it. Same with AA. Others stay in the program for the rest of their life. Same with rehab - many fail, some succeed.

                                                Cheshire asked for "real experiences". You WILL find them there.

                                                            those guys WANT to get their shit together, their getting better, seeing it in real life as it happens is totally different, ever see bangbus?
                                                            In some ways, maybe. I think though that it's a common thought of those addicted or on their way there that "I'll never get like that" - regardless of what they see.

                                                            You have a good chance of seeing someone crying, not able to stop, telling their story on any average day in NA. Seeing the struggle to get clean would probably be surprising to most people.
