Found some Marijuana in my nephew's bookbag..

[Tapeworm]

he is probably selling the weed in addition to smoking it. nobody carries around two ziplocks full of weed with labels for the strain inside unless they are selling. but at least he is keeping it in bulk instead of pre-bagging it all into 10's and 20's. if he gets caught by the police they are lessing likely to charge him with intent to sell because of that.

i would talk to him, let him know how you stumbled upon it, why you waited to approach him about it, that you used to smoke weed yourself and that your not judging him, but that you just want him to understand that as with all things in life moderation is key and not to let the weed disrupt any other part of his life. 

Good post, T.  Only thing I'd add is a strong admonition not to deal, since the downside (legal pitfalls, risks of criminal association, etc) is so far outweighed by whatever bullshit money he might earn.

x2  Dealing is not worth it cuz u will get caught.  There is no code of silence any more. As far as the smoking weed thing...not a big deal unless he shows signs of not being motivated to do anything with his life.  Just like anything else you must know the difference between use and abuse.  Oh, and always smoke at home or at a bros hows.  Not worth joy riding and getting busted.  Laws may be more lax in NY..not sure.  He is 17 so of course he will dabble but it is important to look for the signs before it gets out of hand.  I would have brought out the bags and smoked some with him then have a grown up conversation with him about the risk.  He will open up more if he was high...lol.

definitely gotta tell the parents.

I would personally beat the shit out of my brother or sister if they knew this and kept it from me.

As an uncle, I know my nephews would be begging "bro, pleeeease just don't tell anyone!"  It'd be tempting to make a deal, but I'd have to tell my bro/sis about it.

I mean its possible that he isnt dealing. Maybe the dealer he purchased the weed from had labeled them. But usually if you buy weed for your own personal consumption , especially if your 17, your only buying enough for one or two smoke sessions, and thats only a gram or two. To have two seperate ziplock bags full of different types of weed, about 400 dollars worth or more (im assuming each bag had an ounce inside.. ounces are known as "zips", cuz they come in a ziplock sandwich size bag) .. to me hints at being a dealer.  Its not that big of a deal though as long as he is smart about it. Sounds to me like he probably is, since you say he is doing his school work and such.

Bulk buying is always cheaper. Plus two ounces? That's not even 60 grams! I have friends, I'd easily go through that in a weekend when I was young.

Show him this thread and ask him to compare & contrast the various approaches.

So my nephew decided to spend the labor day weekend with my husband and I.  He did so, not so much to spend time with us, but because his girlfriend lives about half a mile away.

Anyhow, while with us last night, I asked if he had an extra pen I could borrow.  While he was watching tv in the living room, he yells out that in his bookbag's front pocket, he should have a few pens available.

So, I go and open his bag and upon not finding any pens in his front pocket, I then search in the main (large) pocket of the bag.  As I unzipped it, I noticed he had a herb vaporizer and 2 ziplock bags with marijuana in them (one of the bags was labeled sour diesel and the other purple haze).

I didn't say anything to my nephew, because I know he probably didn't want me to know about it.  I discussed it with my husband and he felt that it wasn't a big deal (for as when we were growing up, every teenager smoked pot).

Now my question to you guys is, would you:

(A) Call his parents and tell them that he is a pothead?

(B) Steal half of his supply and pack those bags generously with oregano to compensate for his loss?

(C) Bring it up to him, demand that he give up his supply and mention it to his parents, to only then smoke the stuff with your own colleagues?

Decisions, decisions..

SMOKE THAT SHIT!!!!  Or, PM me and i will give you my address

Just speak with him about his life in general. If he's keeping business life straight I say let him do whatever he wants so long as he's over 17-18 and keeping it together. If he's fucking up in life it's almost certainly due to being preoccupied with weed though.

This. If he is a loser weedhead that cars more about 4/20 than his own birthday, set him straight like only you can

**also, tell him to make sure all lights on his car work, his license is valid, actually stops at stop signs, and uses his turn signals and that he doesn't smoke while driving.

Depends on the weight as well. If he is dealing, he's too far gone now, best to let him go, because even if he is caught by the cops, and catches a case, and the case gets thrown out, he'll go back to dealing again.

Or D make a thread on getbig, put the details on him labeling his weed so a cop that is reading knows that he is dealing, give the exact location to his weed so the cop knows where to look and volla, a little Juvi time.   ..... just kidding no cop would go to that extent over weed lol,.
