Answer 1

home drug test -

Answer 2

Search his room,I know you might feel like you are invading his privacy but he's 10 and this is a serious matter.If you don't find anything sit him down and ask him.In a calm matter not like your angry,if you do he might lie about it.What gives you the idea that he is smoking?Make an appt and tell the doctor and they will do a drug test on him.It will show on the test.Talk to him about drugs and the dangers of drugs.You would think oh no he's just 10 but the kids at school and outside of school can pressure these kids into doing just about anything.Me I'd probably set up a camera in my kids room to make sure.No I'm very over protective but they know it's because i love them.So don't wait another second have him tested.You don't even have to tell him your going to test him.If he's smart enough and smoking he could find a way to past the test.Wish you luck and I hope your wrong.

Answer 3

If your 10 year old is smoking marijuana you will see that he has glossy eyes,or munchies, eating alot.He may be stealing the money for his habit.He will hide things from you so he will be try to avoid you at the times he is high.So he might be staying away alot.Also after the high and munchies he will want to sleep.
That is a very young age to be smoking that stuff,so maybe try talking to him about it and see if something is bothering him.He will probably not admit it right away but with time and patience and understanding he will soon talk about it.Don't give up on him and don't run around trying to find his stash cause this is only gonna make him be more careful about being caught and won't help the situation.Good luck,i hope this helps.

Answer 4

First, take him to get tested when he least expects it and dont tell him where you guys are going...
If the results come out saying he has maijuana in his system, have a talk with him about it, a serious, calm talk no beating him screaming ect, You want the child to understand you, not fear you because when they understand where you are coming from and why you feel the way you do, the chances of them listening to you more often and obeying your wishes, are higher. Anyway even if the results say that there isnt any in his blood, still have a talk with him just incase so you dont have to worry about the issue coming up again in the future.
good luck :)

Answer 5

If you truly think that he is smoking marijuana I would have him tested. I would also find out what my son is doing during the day and who he is doing it with. Sounds like he needs a little more supervision and parental involvement.

Answer 6

Call the non-emergency police station where you live and talk to them. Get this stopped ASAP. He is your child and you are responsible for bringing him up right and teaching him right from wrong. You don't want to take this lightly and find yourself looking back years later and knowing that you suspected but never did anything about it. Drug use is everywhere! Much more than we even suspect. The most innocent looking, preppy, polite person can be a cocaine addict. Believe me, I knew someone whom I never suspected and they got caught being a cocaine user. She was a nurse too. It's scary out there.

Answer 7

Yikes! Education is key. If he knows it's bad and you think he's experimenting, ask him straight out. See how he reacts to your questioning him. Does he have a guilty look on his face, or is he sincere in answering. If he denies, give a home-test (you can easily get one at Walmart). If the test come back positive, take him to a counselor for group therapy with other pre-teens and teens who are experimenting. Good luck!

she may not have been smoking pot......there are lots of other illicit drugs out there that people smoke.
I took my sons to a busy downtown emergency room, let them see first hand what drugs do to people, also arranged for them to attend an autopsy to see first hand what drugs do to the body. To this day, neither of them will tolerate the use of drugs, in themselves or in anyone they know.

Answer 9

The first thing you need to do is be open and honest with him. Yes open and honest. You need to ask him about what is going on in his life, get more involved in his affairs and start policing who he is hanging around with. The one thing that this country has forgotten is that we are still the parents!! What would have our parents done in the same situation? Mine would have beat me to an inch of my life and I would not have been allowed to see
daylight for a long time. Tough choice but communication, honesty, and becoming more involved in his life is all you can do.

Answer 10

I agree with the FIRST guy, go to Wal-Mart pharmacy and get the Home Drug test. Its less than $20 and is accurate and you don't have to question him. Just say, "I need blood for a test, this won't hurt much" (it won't) and there's NO REASON to ever tell him why. Why should you tell him UNLESS he comes up positive? NONE. DON'T make him think you don't trust him unless he comes up POSITIVE!!!

Answer 11

Search for proof. Check his room. His clothes, look in pockets for traces of the stuff. Check his eyes when you think he' recently smoked. And a drug test isn't a bad idea either.
