avoice, it may sound harsh to you but i feel jail time for him might at least make him think where he's headed in life if he doesn't change. it sounds like thus far he's gotten away from punishment. these behaviors usually escalate to more serious behaviors. but as you said only he can change himself. as a mother too i know how very upsetting all this is to you. we always want the best for our kids.
k2 use can be deadly. i'm surprised he has not experienced a near fatal event. but his use of this you cannot control either. here's some info for you
Quote:
K2 can cause increased heart rate, loss of consciousness, paranoia, hallucinations and psychotic episodes. Users report that smoking small amounts results in intense highs comparable to smoking large amounts of marijuana.
Studies in 2008 revealed that users developed chemical dependencies, withdrawal and addictive behaviors. Increasing numbers of children are purchasing synthetic marijuana products because they are legal and easier to obtain than cigarettes.
the best suggestion i can offer is speak with him about your concerns. encourage him to consider a drug re-hab. but please know the decision falls into his lap. i wish i could be of more help.
