Setting clear boundaries with SS18

After a year of problems with my SS18 I have had it. I came home yesterday and went into his room to grab something and a bong was sitting on his bedroom floor in clear view. I have let a lot slide to keep the peace in my house but that was the last straw. I had a long talk with DH last night and we have concluded a list of expectations/house rules - I typed up a "contract" that all three us will sign and if he doesn't follow the rules he needs to move out. I hope this works because I cannot continue living like this.

18 year old SS issues

The past year has been a nightmare for me and the conflicts between me and DH keep arising. My SS turned 18 last fall and just graduated from HS a month ago but the problems seemed to have started about a year ago (last summer). A little background: We have our own BD (9) and I have been raising SS since he was 6. I love him and care about him but I am so sick of all his crap. It really started when he started driving.
