I have no idea what he is doing as regards edibles or any other form of marijuana. As a recovering alcoholic/drug addict 35 plus years my guess would be he will use again if he has not already. I thought he believed the diagnosis but he doesn’t. Both his parents are casual pot smokers who will argue all day about the virtues of pot. They were, however, shocked into temporary sanity at the diagnosis. He will be going to a therapist who also specializes as a substance abuse counselor and his mom is taking him to a gastroenterologist. Even if the diagnosis changes his use of drugs is substantiated. I am brushing off my Al-Anon skills. If he ends up in the ER again with the exact same set of circumstances his options will narrow. Pot is illegal in North Carolina and he is a minor. As is always the case when drugs are involved nothing is easy or simple.
