I would not wait for the police to catch him. He is 17 and you can do something now. My daughter is my addict and she is 21. Too late for me to "force" her into rehab. I have done the calls to the police, etc. but they are so busy that sometimes they will overlook the small time dealers because they are focusing on much bigger problems. Get your son help. It may not take and he may not like it, but at least you hare giving him a chance to start thinking straight. Pot is a huge problem. It is a lot stronger than it used to be and can be laced with other drugs. Who cares if he likes you, you are his mom, not his friend. Hugs, Marle
