My son was a very intelligent child but was always a little different. He was diagnosed with Autism level 1 in grade 8. He was on the local swim team at the provincial level with so much potential. I think because of his insecurity and fear of not fitting in, he started smoking pot in grade 11.… Read the rest

I am so sorry for your loss. This is nothing new. In 1978, just before I turned 18, I was a college freshman away from home and smoked a very strong marijuana joint.

I typically do not post anything too personal as I’m a very private person. Since Haley’s passing, I have had several parents reach out and confide in me struggles they and their kids have been going through. I think this is because anyone that knows me knows that I was a very involved parent with Haley and her life and had a very close relationship with her, so if I didn’t have a clue she was struggling, it scares them with their own kids.… Read the rest

My son, 22, was in some ways the last person you’d expect to get cannabis use disorder.  He’d participated in drug and alcohol prevention programs throughout high school, and based on what he’d learned, planned to wait for substance use (even alcohol) until he was 25, if ever. … Read the rest
