I have found tweezers in my 17 yr old son's bedrooom and in his jacket several times. He has previously been caught smoking pot, and swears that he doesnt do it anymore. (He passed a CVS drug test recently). The tweezers that keep showing up in his room leave me mystified.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

I have asked him why he has the tweezers and get the "I dont know" answer. Didnt think to smell them, will do. He doesnt have massive eyebrows or excessive nose hairs, besides there is no mirror in his room. I will keep an eye out for anything else, thanks to all who responded to my question!

Maybe he's plucking some hairs he's embarrassed to talk to you about. And why would tweezers be used in smoking pot ? OH duh.... I guess it could be used as a 'roach clip'...... but if he's passing the tests - he must Not be smoking. If you keep insisting that he's smoking - he may just do so, I would let it go for awhile. Also you'd be able to smell it on the tweezers - Have you ever Sniffed them? I'm being Serious!? Its a strong Oder and you'd pick it out right away.

Does he have anything that he might be picking at? Ingrown hairs? keritosis (whatever that skin thing is that creates red marks)? Could be anything, but I would go with the smell them, and smell his coat too. Is there anything else that would make you not trust him?

Okay, I highly doubt he's using the tweezers to pluck pubic hairs (girls would need to do that much more than boys would). So, does he have hairy eyebrows? A hairy nose? If the answer is no, then I think he is still doing pot. Are you sure that the urine he used to pass the CVS test was his? Could he have snuck a container of someone else's urine in to CVS? I would look into this more without accusing him b/c that will just piss him off and cause him to start doing it again or continue doing it.

have you asked him why he has them? does he have a ligitimate reason? i know i keep tweezers in my room because i get hairs that i have to pull. but then again i'm a woman too. i just say talk to him and ask him straight out what they're fore. if he doesn't have a good answer, maybe its time to seek out other help.

Keep testing him. Pot stays in your system for a looooong time.
