You can share the facts of pot with your son by going to the library and checking out the latest material available on the subject and bringing up a conversation about the legal part as well. Is is worth doing it when our lifestyle is so hectic that we find little time to return phone calls or e-mail back a response to our loved ones. Does it run the chance of it backfiring if you were to say yes? Will he do the same too? Will you feel comfortable with that? You can also talk to people you respect about sharing a yes answer with him and listen to their advice. If you have never smoked pot would you feel bad if your son shared with you that he smokes it? If so would you repremend him get angry and throw a fit or would you know at all how you would react? These are a few questions that will make you think and explre the right thing to do and say to your son. Good luck
