well you have severely decreased his dealer's month to month income now. did you ever think of that! now how is he going to be able afford those nice bolt cutters he'd been eyeing so he can move up in the world and start trespassing in car lots? or how bout that nice shiv he wanted to so he can stick chump suckers in the neck when they crossed him? yeah, that's what i thought! no one ever thinks of the poor crack dealer do they!
Will respond to couple of comments
regarding him not trusting him anymore, his mom will not approach him directly or indirectly and ask him about weed, instead she will concentrate on his grades which are much lower then they have been in the pass which is the reason why mom got him tutor.
Regarding if I know what is weed, I have never tried it so I don't know in that way but I do know it?s a drug and like any drug you can get addicted regardless of what some people say that they can quite anytime they want.

I really hope english is not your first language.
Your answer has nothing to do with my comment. The reason why I said what I did has to do with how your cousin will react and to whom he's going to turn for help when something really serious happens to him. It sure as hell isn't going to be you. If you're not worried about that, then that's fine; however, I have a feeling you didn't think it that far through.
You have never tried it, which means that IN NO WAY can you be considered an expert in its effect on people. Someone told you marijuana was bad and you believed it, and that's the sum total of your knowledge about it.

You've got to be kidding? Addicted to weed?
You need to let your cousin roll one up and try it with him so you can understand just how ridiculous this statement is.
If it were any other drug....hell, even alcohol, then I'd say yeah, you did the right thing. But not weed...

No you didn't do the right thing. Mind your own business. If it was a harmful drug like ecstasy or heroin, then you have the right to tell, but you weren't protecting him. You were just being a goody two shoes. Telling on him had worse effects than him smoking the weed.
Edit: I just saw that he's 15, in which case it may have been a good idea to tell, because a 15 year old smoking weed is a loser anyway, and will probably go to harder drugs, and turn into white trash.

At least you did not call the cops on him.
Who didn't do weed when they were a teen?
That's got to be one of the stupidest questions ever. I grew up in the heart of the "Emerald Triangle" in Northern California and I never smoked marijuana. None of my close friends ever smoked pot (or at least, not regularly, and they never told me they tried it, but I doubt it). Now that I'm in college, most of my friends don't drink and none of them smoke either cigarettes or marijuana.
It's not that I wouldn't be their friend if they chose to smoke, but they all realize that such things are stupid and self-destructive.
Sorry, I'll get off of my soapbox now. I just get frustrated when people assume teenagers are too stupid to make reasonable decisions.

I believe your actions were acceptable, but I would have proceeded differently.
With these sort of things, it is usually best to intervene by talking to the individual, informing them that you are telling their parents, and WHY you are doing it.
Every kid out there, all douches by the way, will immediate concoct animosity, and direct it at You[for telling on him], and his mom [for being "restricting."]
Approach such situations with some psychology, and you have the ability to get mcuh more effective results.
I believe you used the equivalent of a rusty old worn down phillips screw driver for the job, when a brand new shiny one would have only been $5 at Home Depot.

Yes but your point is stupid. I did mention that if it was something crazy as letting people kill each other...
But yeah pot is allowed in a country and I'm sure 'Amsterdam' has at least done some tests or what not to let it be so freely legal in its city.
Like having Viagra sold in one country and not another.
I've had pot on 2 occasions. Wasn't anything I'd want to do again as it wasn't great for me but probably would have been better had smoked it longer. But I know enough about drugs to say that pills are 'generally' bad and so is sticking needles in to yourself with drugs in. But you probably meant on harder or more serious drugs anyway 😛

i bet he didn't even do it much, he just assumes his could get respect from his "bigger older maturer" cousin by kind of bragging that he smokes up alot, not expecting to get told on straight away.
i'm 17 now, but back when i was 15 i first tried weed, it was over rated and i never felt the urge to do it often, maybe just once a month if it was offered to me, havent had any in awhile now cause alot of the stoners i knew have turned to alcohol
