Is my kid smoking pot?

Obvious Signs
There are many signs that will inform parents if their kids are smoking pot. Everything from the smell, red or swollen eyes, and their behavior. In the next section we will attempt to describe some physical signs of marijuana use in your kid.

What's that smell?
Marijuana has a very distinct smell similar to a skunk's spray. It may also be compared to the smell of burnt lawn clippings. An easy way to simulate the smell, so you know what you're looking for, is to burn a dried leaf from a maple tree. Although not exactly the same, the smell is very similar to that of burnt marijuana.

Be highly suspect of a kid that’s spraying air freshener into their room or car until it reeks like a funeral home. They’re hiding something. Smoke shops sell highly potent air sanitizing sprays that claim to eliminate smoke in the air. They usually come in smaller, more compact canisters, and are sold at a higher rate than the average air freshener. If your kid has begun to come home wearing heavy cologne, perfume, or body spray you may want to investigate, especially if they usually wear a reasonable amount or none at all. Some kids will also try to cover the smell by burning strongly scented incense or candles. They may even try to pass the smell off as incense or candles. In some cases, a device is crafted to blow smoke through, dubbed a “toke blower”, in an attempt to disguise the smell. Smokers typically open a window to air out a smoky area. If the suspected pot smoker has an open window during winter or when the AC is on, chances are they are attempting to "air out" the area. Clothing will also hold marijuana smoke. The marijuana smell can be described as musty, musky, of earthy. A marijuana smoker is aware that their clothing will hold the smell of smoke; therefore they may use excessive body spray of cologne in an attempt to cover it up.

Pot smokers breathe will also hold the smell of marijuana for some time. Uncharacteristic or excessive teeth brushing, gum chewing, breath mint popping, etc. is usually a good sign that the suspected person is trying to cover the smell of smoke on their breath. Marijuana smoke also adheres itself to the smoker's hands, most significantly, the fingers. The thumb and index finger are usually used in smoking a joint; therefore these two fingers will retain the smell long after the joint has been smoked. Hand washing can usually eliminate the smell. However, unless the pot smoker focuses on the fingers, the smell will remain long after hand washing.

It’s in the eyes...
A person under the influence of marijuana will most likely have red/swollen/bloodshot/irritated/glassy eyes. The red eyes, also know to pot smokers as "chinese eyed", can be temporarily covered up with Visine (also know as "white eye"). Although the eye drops may relieve the smoker of irritated red eyes, it will do nothing to remove the glassy eyed, glazed over look in the eye. Some smokers prefer to wear sunglasses to hide their eyes as well. Wearing sunglasses indoors and/or at unlikely times should be viewed as a red flag...........Read more

I especially like the Chinese eyed thing.
