Thank him for being honest, keep an eye out going forward, and it's 100% normal for a teen to experiment with pot. [ Reply | More

Hey - he shared with you! He is a good kid. He would have tried pot at some point, most likely. Hopefully he can stick to his guns and avoid it in the future. [ Reply | More
