When my son was 15 I found a large bag of green leafy stuff in his wardrobe and a small pair of scales. I knew what it was and guessed it was already at a level where he was actually selling the stuff. When asked what it was, keeping a very straight face he confidently said that it was oregano, a herb. I took it and threw it in the buildings' dustbin. In hindsight he probably followed me and retrieved it later.

I took him to the local police station and told the on duty officer to lock my son up for the night. When asked why I refused to say but stressed that he needed to feel what could happen if he makes the wrong choices in life.
When I went to fetch him in the morning I asked him what he had learned from his night in jail. He replied that the officer had told him that because he was so good looking he should
never bend down in the communal showers in prison to pick up a bar of soap. I have no idea if I did the correct thing but he went on to be a paramedic and paratrooper in the IDF where he also smoked "oregano". A bit like the M.A.S.H. movie

He is not a criminal though at least, but prone to get into complicated situations due to his ADHD.
I am guessing weed is good for ADHD and better than Ritalin.
I started sharing a smoke with my lover this year, it helps him relax with his OCD and aspieness, I watched him smoke for 3 years and then I thought what the hell, I'll give it a try.
It was jazz cabbage. A vegetable.
I'm still not sold completely on the idea of dope, legal or otherwise, "bud" if people are going to benefit seriously from it (as evidence starts to suggest) then I hope it is used correctly and not abused like opioids and alcohol have been. It's a resource, and we ought to have figured it out by now.
