<p>In a part of my world, there are some teens who find pot soothing and with medicinal value. It has been proven to be helpful for those on chemo therapy, and in some areas you can get a prescription for it. That, however, is a whole different story since there is medical oversight and is (sometimes) legal. EVen if it is not, these circumstances are such that there is a case that hold some weight. </p>
<p>But using pot you buy from your local dealer can be an unsafe thing to do. Smoking ANYTHING is not good for you or all of those within the vicinity of your smoke. I think the parent is making a very poor decision for a number of reasons. If the kid has a mental, emotional, physical, medical issue that pot is alleviating, he should be seeing some physicians to find safer ways to treat the problem.</p>
