hi! i'm suspecting that my 15 years old son's been using marijuana. i'm just wondering if there's a way to detect whether he's using it or not? at what age do children/teenagers usually start using it? need advice...

common reasons for teenagers who use marijuana is curiousity and the desire to fit into a group or social group in or outside the school. teenagers who smokes cigarettes are at high risk for marijuana use.

Agree with you. And some are due to a lack of attention with their parents and lack of guidance. That's why they are prone to it.

parents should always be aware of their child's behavior, that is very important! changes of sleeping and eating habits could be related to drug use. however, these are just common signs. there's a lot more that you should know.

the user usually feel sleepy all the time. they eat more than they usually do (not on their normal behavior).

here are some signs that you are able to see:

- hard time in remembering things that just happened.
- red or bloodshot eyes.
- dizzy and having trouble in walking.
- giggly for no reason.

hope this helps...

i've heard that frequent drinking of water was also an indication of someone using marijuana. i am not sure but some say that upon using marijuana make your throat dry and that's keep them drinking.

in addition to that, you should also be aware of..
frequent use of eyedrops.
odor on clothes.
paraphernalia (pipes and rolling papers)
use of deodorizers.
