Okay, I told my son no smoking cigarettes, pot or drinking at my house, but he comes home smelling like cigarettes, sometimes buzzed from alcohol, and a lot of the time he looks stoned from smoking pot. I told him I cant control what he does while is gone, but I can control what happens at home. He is 16 years old. We would not sign permission for his drivers license because of the alcohol and pot use, but as much as he talks about getting a car, he wont quit. So what more can I do?

Let him know that you considered calling the police and how very dissapointed in him you are. That worked on me and it works on most kids even though they are good at not letting know it. Inspect his room periodically. Force him to do drug tests. Stop letting him set rules for a while. If you involve the police it will turn what may be just experimentation into something that he may never forgive you for. Just My Opinion.
Sounds like you need to get him to a substance abuse counselor. Get him straightened out while he is still a juvenile. Also, it would be a good idea for YOU to learn as much as you can about marijuana and other drugs, so if the situation arises again, you can confront it from a knowledgeable, educated standpoint. Good luck!!
