Virginia's Pee Test

Last month, Virginia, my 16-year-old daughter, was caught smoking pot in our house.  As promised, I pee tested her today.  Fortunately, she passed with flying colors, announcing that she would not be passing in the future.  Therefore, I have told her that if I even think she is smoking pot in my house, whether the smell is on her or I find paraphernalia, I will call the police.  I really have no choice, because it's illegal in my state to even posses it.  Although I am not opposed to adults using pot in the privacy of their own homes,  If I gave her the impression it is okay, I could be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.  Hopefully, it will not come down to that.

 

Virginia's Pot Use

I found out today that Virginia, my 16-year-old daughter, has been smoking pot, by way of pictures of her doing so on the internet.  I am not opposed to adults smoking pot in the privacy of their own homes.  However, because I live in a state where pot use is illegal, in order for me not to go to jail for contributing to the delinquency of a minor, I have to stop her usage, using pee tests & taking away her tech stuff if she fails.  I have given her 30 days to clean out her system.

What is most disturbing is her inability to comprehend how not being discrete, by putting the pictures on the net, could affect her ability to get into collage or a job.  She just needs to behave, until she is 18-years-old.  Once she reaches that age, I am not longer legally responsible for her actions.  Until then, I have to battle every day to keep my sanity.
