Do's and Don'ts:

The kid's going to figure that even if you don't say it when you say you smell pot. Find a different way to approach the subject.

Just start the "drug talk." Come armed with all the reasons smoking really is bad, medical reasons, psych reasons, experience with your and his friends. Tie them to his activities. Major lung damage faster than smoking if he plays sports. Coordination if he's a video gamer. Slow response if he's inot mental games.

And remember you're at least 2 years too late. Should have had this talk before he started.

Say This:

I'm an old stoner, don't you thnk I recognize that smell when you come home after smoking?

My children are all very close to me. We talk about everything, from the time they were little kids. I kept nothing from them. So when my oldest son first came home smelling like pot, I just looked at him and said, " You are high" and he smile, and said "Yea Ma". He was 15 years old at the time. I told him, "You know smoking pot is wrong", "But I can't control what you do in the streets when I am at work and then come home to cook dinner for the family. Then I told him, "I don't know what all you do in the street, just don't bring it up in this house".
