What is a good punishment if you find your son with pot?

...

keenie	You can buy at home drug kits at most department stores, they start at like $15-20. Randomly test him once a month. If he fails the first one (which he will if you just caught him) tell him that you will test again soon but do not tell him when because he can find ways to mess with the results. Tell him that if he fails the second one that you will have him call the police and tell them what has happened. Have him arrested. It seems like tough love, but it sounds like he needs it. He will thank you later when he gets older and has his life straightened out. Good Luck!!

neophyte	depends how old he is ... less than 10: no TV, videogames, stay in his room. between 10 and 14: no videogames or TV, no money for 6 months, no christmas present that year between 15 and 18: no money for 12 months, no presents for 2 years, making him lots more of work at home 19 or older: very difficult to change ...

Vegito	my father kicked my brother's @ss WWE style: body-slamming, headlocks, jabbs to the ribbs (he never left brusing). Removed the TV & video games from our room (if one messes up we both messed up). Forbind phone calls from friends. My father missed his calling as a drill instructer in the Army

TC	Be cool. Let them know your a bit disappointed but tell them not to drive on it. But let them no you don't condone it. It does lead up to harder substances. But, if they feel your cool to talk to you can find out more about their habits. Then adjust your rules...

yoyoandyooo	if its a first time thing, don't be to harsh, he'll do it anyway if he wants to, there is not much you can do. Besides weed isn't bad, at least he is not doing harder drugs. and for all you people who say, make him smoke it all, ganja isn't like alcohol, where you will eventuallly, start throwing up. You will jus be really high.

porno j	smoke it all in front of him, and don't share.

Pacificriders	you take their pot and you sell it for profit

John N	have him stand and watch as you pour it on the ground and grind it into the dirt.

sapphire	Make him sit there and smoke it all, he will be paranoid out of his mind and probably never do it again, Oh yeah, IF you can't beat em join em! LOL

pimp	make him smoke it until he gets ill and sees what it does 2 him

x_cullen_x	All these people saying make him smoke it all or eat it are just being stupid. First off, i can understand you want to 'punish' him and make him realise what he is doing is very wrong but, you shouldnt just take away his things like alot of people are saying, because this will most probably cause him to rebel and to it even more. You need to actually talk through with him first how bad it is, and if its his first time, and whether or not he is addicted, because he may actually need help! For all you know he might just be trying it to impress his mates seeing as alot of teenagers are doing drugs these days, and its just a result of peer pressure. So before any 'punishing' takes place consult him first find out all the deatils. And FYI im starting to think this may just be a joke, because i dont know many people that when they find their son smoking pot would come ONLINE looking for away to punish him. I dont know.

Man with the Plan	Whoop'da azz.

Zandy	talk to him and find out why he thinks he needs to use it explain the consequences to him, if possible get a recovering addict to talk to him.keep monitoring him as the time goes by,and ask him seriously what he thinks is a good punishment for him, also find out what he will do if the tables turns he is the parent and his child has pot

reedy	tell him that your really disapointed in him find out who gave it to him and tell the police and there parents ask him what punishment would fit this crme and start making him empty he's bag and search he's room i know that there is such thing as privacy but sometimes u have to push that there s no point on making him smoke because when i was 13 my mum cuaght me smoking a cigarette for the first time she said sit in side and wait for me she come back from the shop with 1 full pouch of white ox tobacco 2 packs of rolling papers and the worst i looked in her other hand she had 3 very very strong cigars big round ones she sat me at the table and made me smoke the whole pouch of tobbaco and the cigars one after the other i spewed my guts up with out a drink or nothin but the week after i sparked up cigarrete again and im 15 now and im still smoking ciggaretes so by making him smoke all of it hes only gunna turn around and do it again so just give a real strict punishment but not to harsh sorry thats all the help i can give u

dodgersfan28	smoke it all infront of him. or give it to me

I DIDNT SEE IT	sit him down and make him smoke a whole bag of it.

Megan W	Make him eat it!! That's what my dad did with me and it worked!! Not only did he make me eat it, he personally walked me to my first class in his cut off sweatpant shorts, mokasins, and his hair all a mess with a cup off coffee for a week. It was so embarrassing I never did it again.

ksem	i dunno. . . make his curfew a little bit earlier or bedtime is at 9pm or earlier!

J o	Make him smoke the whole bag.

Connor	Ground him, no phone, no cell, no video games, no tv no nothing for a month and tell him if you catch him doing it again he's going to lose everything for 6 months. And don't give up after a week and give it back. Make him stay grounded the whole month. All he's allowed to do is come home and go to school thats it. Or you can take his bedroom door of the hinges. (that will straighten up any boy) -Connor

theojudjr	Whip that butt... No really I would find out how long he has been smoking, he could be holding it for someone that would have gotten in to a world more trouble and your Son may trust you more and feel that you would understand... I say talk with him first... Now if it is his, Whip that Butt...

Kylie Nicole	aww, give him a break. let him off with a sharp warning and if you catch him the next time, make him curfew an hour earlier for a few weeks.

Luke Cassidy	Smoke it with him ,and dont be so uptight ,SIKE,Be reasonable, Im16 i got in trouble with pot twice.Ask him why and it makes it eaiser if you tel experiences that you had with drugs for he understand why you dont want him to do them and tell him about how some pot is laced and he might not even know it

RICHARD	Take it from him, bring it up to him, ask him where he got it. Sit there and ask him what is going on? Why does he need to do this? Then just leave the room. Come back in about 30 minutes, and tell him, when he is ready you want to talk to him about this and other things as well. Then leave immediately again. Go the rest of the day as if nothing has happened. Eventually and I am guess within about 1 hour maybe even 4 he will want to talk about it. Then be open and honest. Not scolding and tell them you care, and tell them why it is not good for them. Then let them talk and tell you what is going on. You will get a lot of BS at first, just listen through it, and act as if you are truly listening, after a few moments of BS you will start to get the real truth. Then you can start to talk intelligently with them. Find out whats going on, and try and find out if there is a better way to deal with there problems. You cant just yell, they will cut you out and ignore you. You trully need to let them start the conversation. They need to know you are upset, but they have to make the choice to work it out with you.

boredatwork	depends how old, personall im a smoker and i dont think its bad...but obviously for kids its a def no-go...i would say ground him for 2 weeks...with the explicit warning that next time...it will be 2 months. hope i helped

Democrat/Republican Flip a coin	What's wrong with smoking pot?

Stephanie	Just flush it and spend every waking hour "talking " to him. It will drive him nuts. Make sure you are always theraputic about your conversation. Dont let him use the phones or anything like that... just talk to you.

moviscop	Talk to him about it. It is the same, if not less, than alcohol. It is much safer than alcohol, however, it will cause a "high" obviously. Tell him how you feel about it and tell him all of the risks of being high (driving, etc) very stupid. I don't smoke myself but can say that a lot of kids get caught up in that for a time, you just need to nip it in the "bud" (haha)

Rockstar5150	A stern talk, an informative talk, a passionate talk. Punishment ain't gonna do a damn thing. People smoke pot because they're stressed, grounding the kid or taking away the idiot box will only make him more stressed out. Just stick to the facts. You tell your kid he could die from smoking pot, he's gonna laugh at you and toke the night away at a friend's house.

**.~.FUBAR.~.**	Take it off him and flush it down the toilet in front of him That will scar him for life and he'll never bring any home again in case you flush it again if you find it! Besides, weed costs quite a lot, can be up to £45 for a quarter! Block form (blow) costs a lot less and really isn't worth using anyway! Anyway, I would be a lot more worried about alcohol than pot. It's far more harmful than any smoke!

James S	Make him smoke it all and don't let him eat or drink anything while he's high.
