> [@DanBlather](#): > > I just couldn’t take it any more. My adult son quit college and is living at home. He is depressed, apparently severely, and spends most of the time in his room. We’ve talked about him quitting pot but he always BSs his way around the subject. Tonight I just had it. The smell of pot was coming from his room and I went in and grapped some pipes, his bongs, some blunts and smashed them and threw them away. I’m just at the end of my rope. I know depression is tough. He’s on medication, but just doesn’t even seem to try. He’s not joining any clubs, doing any sports, or even going out to bars. If it wasn’t for pot I don’t think he’d have any interests at all. Anyone have a child get over this? Dick he needs that ---

[quote=“Otto, post:3, topic:346294”] Yeah, that’s right. Clinically depressed people who take medication are dirtbags. As to the right word for people who dismiss psychological illness as dirtbaggery, well, we’re not in the right forum for that particular descriptive. ``` **Thank You!** ``` ---
