Has your son or daughter drawn pot leaves or bottles of beer on his or her notebook? It is actually a sign of "preoccupation" and "infatuation", in the same way that it was when you wrote the initials of you and your boy/girlfriend inside the heart on your notebook when you were a kid. Remember? or was I the only one that did that?
Kids who end up addicted start out by loving to get high. So, as a parent we need to look for some clues, that are not so obvious, doodles of pot may be that very sign.
The author Dan Roam wrote a book called The Back of the Napkin, Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures this is a great book about the power of a doodle to communicate something that you care about. For kids who love to get high, they are going to be "selling this idea" to their friends.
If your son/daughter loves to get high, you will be the last one to find out, that's how they want it. So you need to start looking for clues. Add everything up that you discover and you might find a pattern. If you find a pattern it's time to do something. When it comes to doing something you will need some support.
