I wasn't very happy about my son getting high

My wife and I let our son go to a friend’s house last weekend.

Most of the time we try to meet the parents first, but we didn’t have a chance to meet the mother or the father.

The boy recently moved to town and both of his parents work crazy hours. I was assured that a parent would be at the house the whole time. My son left our home on Friday after all of his school work was finished. I didn’t see him again until Sunday afternoon. I spoke with him briefly on Saturday and he was having a lot of fun. The kids were laughing and playing games. When my son came home on Sunday afternoon, he smelled exactly like marijuana. His clothes and his bag smelled like weed too. My son tried not to talk with me very much, but I wanted to have a conversation. I realized that he was clearly under the influence of marijuana. I wasn’t very happy about my son getting high, so I drove over to the house and demanded to speak with the boy’s parents. Neither one of them were home at the time so I waited outside in my car until someone came home. I demanded an explanation for my son coming home high. The parents admitted to having medical marijuana in the house from a local dispensary, but they also informed me that they had been gone and away from the house since Wednesday. I urged the lady to lock up the medical marijuana and I told her that my son wouldn’t visit again.
