It's better than jail, and even if he hates it there he will learn about himself and why he is doing this. Of course, he may not listen, but addiction is an illness and it needs treatment from trained counselors. Then, take care of yourself and get to an Alanon meeting. You have to stop thinking how cute he is and start thinking how sick he is. If your kid had cancer, you would storm the heavens and get him any kind of help you could. This is an illness that needs treatment.

Im not so sure he is addicted to marijuana, I would not mind if he smoked marijuana here and there sometimes but im worried about the fact that he is dealing. He comes back on sunday, still not sure what to do with the money, marijuana and knives in his room.
