he doesn't sound like he is going to stop until he is dead. I am so sorry for you and for him. I cannot imagine the hell you are going through and the hell he must be in to fall down this path.

Keep letting him know you love him.

If it's tough to have him around, at least give him a call often.

Does he have Pollen or other allergies? He may have an allergy to Marijuana.

I hate to say it, but my guess is meth. :(. I’m sorry man I can’t imagine how tough that has got to be.

Definitely sounds like it. Down to the sleeping because he probably doesn't

Yup. Skinny, crashing and sleepy when coming down off it. Rural town. Meth is what that adds up to.

Yeah, could beamy things but I know you see it all the time, as do I

Yup it’s a common tale you and I team up on. Person with mental illness uses meth. Comes in psychotic and fighting.

The sleeping could be because generally he is up a ton while using meth

I've a pot smoking son - it doesn't make you lose weight. There's something else

While there is a possibility that he is using harder drugs, all of the "symptoms

I agree. The weight loss could be hard liquor if he's blowin his food cash on it

Kinda curious on what people disagree with in my statement.

My guess is some people goff anytime someone mentions negative side effects

Stomach pain could be hyperemesis if he is using pot everyday. See link.

I've known too many terribly sickly, emaciated alcoholics to write that off.
