Grass is Always Greener

Tomas Muniz, a terrific writer and radical out of the East Bay, has a powerful post over at mamazine.com called Dazed and Confused, in which he desparately tries to come to grips with his teenage son's marijuana use.

Lying about it. That was the clincher. I needed serious help. He seemed more comfortable making up extravagant explanations for me than talking to me about his choices, his decisions, his willingness to take the consequences if need be. Instead I got, "No really, I just took this bud from a friend cuz I didn't want him to smoke cuz, you know, drugs are bad." Followed by his sad little smile. Help me!
