Jonathan: A pack of gum.
Ayla: Okay. Oh, man. Did he. Did you confront him?
Paige: Yeah. And he’s said dad’s been giving them to me.
Jonathan: So your husband has been hooking your kid up. He’s your dealer.
Ayla: Yeah.
Jonathan: Like any good father. Your husband’s giving your 16 year old son weed gummies. Just because they party together?
Paige: I talked to him about it. He said, you know, he’s got social anxiety, so he’s been giving them to him so he can feel more comfortable around his peers at school.
Ayla: So he gives them to him before he goes to school.
Jonathan: So he’s going to school high.
Paige: He taking them almost every day.
Ayla: Yeah, except Saturday and Sunday, I bet.
Jonathan: You know, he probably double doses on Saturday.
Ayla: That is so bad.
Jonathan: What we call wake and bake I bet.
Ayla: That’s so bad, though. Paige, are you just as fired up as I am right now? I mean, I know that’s why you’re calling. Your sixteen year old is going to school high every single day because of your husband.
Jonathan: Is he suffering in school. I mean, is he getting bad grades?
Ayla: Does that matter?
Jonathan: Yes, of course it matters.
Paige: No it doesn’t.
Jonathan: How is he doing in school?
Paige: I do have to say he’s not doing poorly in school. And he does seem to be having an easier time socializing.
Jonathan: He’s got weed. Everybody likes that kid.
Ayla: That’s not good to laugh about. It’s definitely not okay to come to school high.
Jonathan: Tell that to everybody down the hall.
Ayla: That’s a whole other story. Not getting into it. If they were 16, though, they’d get a spanking.
Jonathan: I think they’d be into that. all right. So here’s the thing. Paige, you’re upset about it because you it’s illegal? It’s against the rules? Like I don’t really understand what the problem is.
Paige: I would say both of those things. He’s a minor. He could get in trouble at school if someone noticed that he was high.
Jonathan: What if what if your husband was giving him alcohol? Is that just as bad? Like a dad sharing a beer with his son.
Ayla: He’s not sharing a beer. He’s giving him a beer before school, so he feels less anxious.
Jonathan: But weed has a medicinal purpose and alcohol doesn’t.
Ayla: But it’s still drugs? Yes.
Jonathan: Is there anything else that he would be taking for social anxiety?
Ayla: Has he taken other things before?
Paige: No.
Ayla: Maybe we start with something a little bit more prescribed. I don’t know.
Jonathan: You can get prescription for weed. Maybe not at 16. Probably.
Ayla: Right.
Jonathan: Paige, thank you so much.
Paige: Oh, no. No problem. Thank you.
