Strugglingteens.com is a hategroup, managed and populated by parents who GAVE UP ON THEIR KIDS, and sent them off to be abused and programmed. While the kids endure all these horrors, their parents post on the strugglingteens.com message board, patting each other on the back and assuring each other that they have made "the loving choice" :roll: for their kid.
These are parents who gave up on being parents. These are parents who blame their children for their own deficiencies, and who refuse to take responsibilty for what is going on in their own homes. Instead of taking actions, they pay strangers to raise their child for them.

I think that, as parental worries go, marijuana is extremely overblown. Oh, if only it were just the parents and not so many other adults w/ authority over kids. I wonder if there's a way to get a Canadian rx for Sativex
http://www.gwpharm.com/ If, in fact, it's a better drug for your son than amphetamines, that would remove the smoking, legal concerns and most of the 'forbidden fruit' allure.

But, bottom line, the only thing I really worry about from what you've said is the idea of your putting him in long term residential drug treatment over this. There is no such thing as marijuana addiction. Habituation? Yes. But that's not an illness that can be treated, it's a choice or series of choices. I can't emphasize enough to you what a monumental mind f*** it is to be imprisoned by a bunch of anti-drug zealots who insist that you confess and then pretend and/or believe you're an addict when you're not.

As a parent of a teen, (not militaristic, not disgruntled, just trying to do the right thing for our child) I would much rather be conversing with people on this site, young, old, disgruntled or not. At least these are real people with real experiences. Don't believe all you read on http://www.strugglingteeens.com...it's not what it seems.

Not only that, these struggling parents appear to have a chip on their shoulder the size of a boulder.
All they do is whine, pat each other on the back every time a kid gets sent away, and kiss the butt of their moderator who deletes the dreadful anti-teen-help posts.
It's downright disgusting.
Censorship is alive and well in Teen Help Land.
BuzzKill:
The heavy handed censorship is my major complaint with Lon's board.
I understand they want to avoid situations like they had when Sue and her alter egos were posting away; but they have taken the "moderating" to far, IMO.
I have often thought it was really no more than an extension of the Program's BBS. Its very easy to get yourself banned over there.
