Paper Summary:
This paper narrates an incident in which the author came home to find a friend of her son lock-picking her jewelry box and smelling of marijuana. The author relates that the police told her that most residential burglaries were for fast cash required to feed a lifestyle that usually includes a drug habit. The paper then cites problems relating to the use of marijuana especially among youth. The paper concludes that the author believes this incident is a wake-up call to explain the harmful effects of marijuana with her son and even test his urine for usage.
From the Paper:
"After the police handcuff the boy and took him away to the police station I tried to calm myself down. Then I started to think whether my son might also be using marijuana. I thought to myself "not my son" but then I thought every parent thinks that way. I decided to go to the nearest drug store and purchase a home drug testing kit to find out for sure whether my child was using drugs. I also decided to do some research on the internet about marijuana to prepare myself on explaining the harmful effects to my son."
