He has a TBI from a snowboarding accident?

by Karolyn

My son is 16 and has only been smoking Marijuana for a couple of months. He has a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) from a snowboarding accident over a year ago. He has daily headaches and I believe that is what made smoking appealing to him.

We are trying different treatments with medical professionals but he is frustrated with the length of time that it has taken them to try to help and the fact that so far nothing has helped except smoking.

I found out last week and took everything away from him. He is supervised all of the time right now. However, I think he is going through withdrawl and is not able to think clearly.

He is sure that it is not addicting and he is not addicted. He told me tonight that he cannot handle the pain any longer (not one more minute) and asked me if he could smoke just one time until he could see the doctor for his next treatment.

I don't know what my next steps should be.
