I am is only aunt (his mother passed away last year); however, I do not have legal guardianship. His alcholic father is still engulfed in grief, and it is a very vulnerable time for my nephew and extremely frustrating situation for me to be on the sidelines about.

if u think and have good cause that he is using then u should talk to him about it but dont pressure him about it bc after u talk to him he'll probaly get so mad that he'll smoke pot when u get done talking but make sure that he understands how dangerous it is and that he cant end up like his father and then take him to a a social worker bc there is probally so much hate and rage about his mother dieing that he can find another was to escape except to get high, or it could be pear pressure, take him to a profesional after u ask him about it so he has no missunderstanding and he'll probally hate u for sending him to a shrink but he'll thank u lin the long run

You should have a friendly talk with him. Don't get mad over him using it, but ask him the reasons why he does it. It could be his way of escaping his grief for his mother. If you tell him to stop he probobly wont.. I know when my parents said that to me I didn't. If you take it away he will just go get more. If you give him all the right information about it, he'll be able to make the decision himself. Personally I don't think pot is that big of a deal... Just as long as he doesn't sell it. I find it a lot safer than alcohol, and really.. When I have kids I would much rather them smoke pot than drink.

Don't read him the riot act about Pot
But have an open adult conversation
The bottom line is he is struggling about his mother and father and needs an outlet

I have the same situation.. nothing will help. if they like it they already are stuck within it.. I tryed .. and all he did was rebel and stopped telling me when he did it. so i never knew again when he did it again.. So thats the best advise i can give you.

Sounds to me like he is using it to numb his mind. If he is grieving it will be really hard for you to get through to him. Just try your best at having talks with him. And be there for him to have someone just to talk about normal stuff with.

You should sit down and smoke a joint with him.. less stress in the world if everyone would just take a bong hit and chill!!!

Tell his parents first and let them see what they can do then I would tell him I will call the police if he continues

talk to him and get him into grief counseling and try and get his father help too, before it is to late.
