New and nervous

So...I'm new to this group/forum...and I'm nervous about being here. My son is the one with the addiction, yet I'm hesitant to share...even with people that will never actually meet me. Why you ask? Well, my son is addicted and abuses marijuana....which most people do not see as "using drugs". People tend to wave me and husband off when we try to make them understand how serious it really is. I think I will scream if I hear one more person say, "it's just a plant. It's not REALLY drugs." My son is 21. He has underlying mental health issues. He has no job....and won't keep one for more than a couple months. He can't get a decent job...because he can't pass a drug test. My husband and I feel helpless. He lives with us because we are frightened that if we tell him he can't live here, he might hurt himself....and I just can't see how we could live with ourselves if that happened. Please tell me that someone...ANYONE else understands.
