Phillipa,
How is your son now?
I think he absolutely has to get off the drug. I can't imagine getting better in any way while still being stoned all the time.
So yes, I agree. Something like an intervention but without him agreeing to it. It would most likely have to be forced as he is so adamant that he isn't going to ever quit.
Diagnosis: depression and anxiety
Current meds: paxil 20mg., desiprimine 20mg., clonazepam .5mg.
Of meds tried, nortriptyline worked the best but caused major weight gain so d/c
