I Don't know who it belongs to but i think that it was my younger son. i have been watching him for the last two days and the only thing he does is eat and sleep. Is this a sign of use of this drug and what should I do next?

the person who said bring your kids to the table discreetly and have a drug talk obviously has never done drugs.... and has no idea how kids operate...
If you want to nip this problem in the butt your going to need to be able to connect with your child on a peer level rather then a parent level...
If you make them feel inferior because they are smoking the cannabis or if you make them feel that they are bad because they smoke the cannabis you will surely have a child that will rebel and smoke ven more, maybe even experimenting with other drugs..
Your child should not feel sheltered and alone because they partaked in the marijuana. Rather you should support your child and help them understand why you think its bad for them to do drugs rather them bashing them over using.
Your kid will respect you and your opinion alot more and may just realize that pot isnt for them....
In this day and age the tough love policy has come and gone and research will even show you that tough love does not work
be a friend

I would say go to your local walmart and buy a drug test and make him take it. Dont talk to him on a peer level. Talk to him as a Parent his peers are probly the ones hes doing it with. Nip this in the butt right now. Pot leads to other drugs. The worst thing about it is most people think that it is no big deal. But it is. When i was 16 my parents started smoking pot again. I am now 21. They went from one have a $75,000 a year job and one have a $50,00 a year job too filling for bankrupcy, Neither one having a job, Losing one camaro, and one brand new mustang, owing like $20,000 in back taxes, and have there phone and cable cut off, they are on step away from losing there house. This is all from smoking pot. It makes you lazy, depressed, have no drive or ambition. It also makes you eat and sleep alot. Look out for red glossy eyes, and cotton mouth. Really talk to him, make sure he understands that it is a big deal and you will not allow it in your home. And really mean that. Don't inable him to do it. Tell him if you find it again you will call the cops, or place him in rehab. If he is smoking pot it can very quickly lead to other things. Dont be his friend be his parent. Good Luck!

the earlier responder was right with sitting everyone down at the table to have the long overdue drug talk. then, when the talk is done take the bag o' dope into the bathroom, open the bag and dump the contents into the toilet, immediately followed by the flushing of said toilet.
bag o'dope isn't cheap like it was in the 70's, so whoever made the purchase spent some serious money on it. where'd the money come from? is this suspected child old enough to have a job? if not, then this might be a real eye opener for you.
my prayers are with you. it can't be easy raising children in today's world.

I would just ask him if it was his, and if it is sit and talk to him about it. I am a little conerned that a bag of weed showed up in your house and you're not 100% who it came from...are you worried it might belong to his friends or something? There are clear signs that someone is using weed...does he have dialted pupils? Is his behavior different? Also consider the fact that he, or someone that has been in your house could be selling it. I would question whoever lives, or has been through, my house recently and get to the root of it. If it is your son's, have a serious talk with him and decide what is best.

Check his room for other little signs...you must know what roach clips look like and see if he has rolling papers etc.
Pot isn't that big a deal but still it's the beginning and he could move on to worse drugs.
Do have a talk with him and find out why he is doing this and try to get him into sports or some club and away from the group of friends he is hanging out with.
If your son has enough respect for you he will try his best for your sake. He could just be experimenting at his age so try not to panic too much and do educate yourself in the mean time and try to find ways to help him.

In it? Or on it? On it you'll locate a carpet, a leather-depending nook settee, a leather-depending pouffe(sp?), a espresso table, a lamp, an excellent timber television unit/cupboard, sub woofer speaker for the encompass sound that we infrequently ever use, paper rack ....and doubtless some toys that my boys have all yet over again did not %. up and placed away! ...oh and my wii in tremendous condition board getting dusty lower than the settee ;o)

It is a "red flag" Deal with it now, confront him. But love him and help him. Leaving the pot where you would find it may be a cry for help!

Don't tell them you found it!
Bring all of the kids, and your husband to the table and have the "drug talk".
And tell them you don't allow it in your house.
And, tell them what will happen if you do.
Give the kids a chance to 'fess up.
