My son is smoking marijuana every day. What should I do? He is 21. Is there any medication I can give him to reduce the ill effects. Also, he?s very stubborn and won?t quit. Should I give him risperidone? He has ADHD too and poodle social skills.

Abstaining oneself from any kind of addiction is not easy. You need to seek professional help and avoid self medication. Since I see you stay in bangalore I would suggest you to take your son to nimhans de-addiction centre or any psychiatrist near your vicinity. You can do a personal visit also if your son is not going. Combination of medication and psychotherapy by a clinical psychologist will work wonders for him. All the best.
