    That’s awesome news. You must be proud of your son for taking responsibility for his actions and turning his life around. Sounds like every parents nightmare, good to see it has had a positive outcome.

    I hope he eventually recognises how hard you’ve fought for him.

    You’ve changed the entire trajectory of his life – that makes you the greatest of fathers.

    It’s got all dusty in the Jones households reading the comments, as for being the greatest parents, nope just incredibly stubborn. I’ve made plenty of mistakes parenting believe me!

    I’ve got some really good friends who’ve been reliant on weed, and unfortunately none of them seem to be able to cope with the real world at all well. As for acid, a friend went to a party, a load of people took acid and someone ended up with their head caved in with a hammer. The attacker thought they were a Beatle.

    As for getting kids to deal, that’s crap and sucks.

    Jonesy jnr seems adamant never to go down this road again. It has cost me another bike in there long run though 😉

    Great news on the lad getting himself sorted (a big well done for sticking the course and allowing the time for it to get right).

    It’s a tricky one for me. But this is the critical bit now :

    the high strength super skunks raise your risk factors for psychosis etc, particularly in the vulnerable (young).

    Time for open, honest discussion about weed

    So from experience it becomes like Russian Roulette…
    •Friend#1 hung him self (30yrs ago) when just 20, due to episodes of paranoia. At that point in time I hadn’t linked the mental health issues with his cannabis use.
    •Friend#2 teenage son ended up sectioned and not permitted to have contact with family due to risk to them and/or himself. He has improved now but is permanently medicated as a result.
    •ex-Boss’s 21yr old son was undergoing treatment for paranoia but local services were unable to find a safe bed for him overnight (he was in his Uni town). He jumped from Clifton Suspension Bridge.

    That’s too many people “lost to cannabis” in my relatively small circle of friends.

    A bike down the line is a small price to pay.
    I honestly did realise how it can affect people. It obviously does different things to different people (as do a lot of thing) but the unregulated aspect make it very dangerous. And no, I’m not necessarily saying it needs to be legal. This part of the argument is probably why it is still in the illegal phase. I wouldn’t want to make that call.

    Edit: have now read the full thread, I hadn’t appreciated that you’ve had this going on for twelve months.

    Great to read that your lad has ‘evolved’
