letting kids smoke weed

[slipknotpsycho]

knowing ever problem that weed can cause when you are young (friends, school problems, money problems and so on) if you had a kid when you got older would you let them smoke weed and or smoke with them?

[jakenthegentiles]

yes becaus im 16 and my dad buys me a half evey onece and aq wile so he knows im not doin other drugs and soem one dousnt fuck me and give me like pcp but he like limmets me to the weekend

[Encatuse]

It depends on how responsible my kid was.

[Satovan]

I woulden't because if my child needed drugs to feel good I would consider myself a failure as a parent. Now don't call me a traitor or whatever, attack me or anything, just hear me out.

I want to make sure my child can feel great and be creative and what not with out drugs. That is my goal. I don't want to give them a shitty enviroment or treat them like shit. But if I ever did found out my child took of the habit of smoking weed. I'd join him and his friends in a few sessions. I would just lay down some ground rules. But I would never introduce my child to weed.

[OreO]

me and my friends have had this convo before and i will not smoke infront of my kids or let them see it, i will let them discover it themselves through highschool and friends but not me. I just dont want to be the reason why my kids is fucking up inschool or anything like that because some teens dont know how to moderate weed with school(i was one of em) But as soon as i figure out that they are smoking im gonna act mad and then just fuck with em and pull out a bong but he/she does have to respnsible

dude... if you're going to smoke while you have kids, s/he will find out. through you. whether you like it or not. you can't hide something like that. you better be prepared for "daddy, what's that glass tube in your room for...?"

if i smoke regularly if/when i'm a parent, i won't make my kid smoke or anything, but i'll let him know what it is i'm doing. if he's curious, fine, i'll teach him how, smoke a few bowls with him, and give him 20 bucks to start out with.

[ezjim]

16 yrs old if there doin well in school but if the grades slip then no smoke hows that for an incentive

[ShamanicHippy]

I would encourage it. its weird but my grades improve with smokin

[Climbing High]

im not gonna introduce my kids to weed, but if i find out they smoke i will definately join them for a session. If my kids find a bong or something and ask what it is, i wouldnt lie to them, ill be honest with my kids about marijuana, and if they reach an age that i feel is appropriate and they want to try it, ill pass thm the bowl.

dude taht rong caus like me i have a depreshion problem im amways angry un less im high butthat scau sim bi polor so i get high and i plan to give my child s/hes first hit of weed as a teen

[OreO]

i dont even know if i would be smoking during the younger years of my kid but if trust me they wouldnt find my bong and if they did...id explain gladly:)

[BluntManAndChronic]

dude if i am ever a parent i wuld wait till my kid was like 13 then i wood introduce him to weed and if he wants to smok then let him if not then not but if they dont find out through u then they r gonn find out through other kids at school or friends and its better u get them smokin weed then let thier friends get thyem hooked on some fucked up shit like crack or pcp

[supersonicchronic]

It depends on how responsible my kid was.

If it seemed like my kid had a good head on their shoulder then ya I would, but if he/she was a fuck up that thought they knew the answer to everything, then no way.

[Juggalotus17]

As long as my kid kept up honor roll (A's and B's) and understood the dangers of other drugs, and ONLY got his or her weed from me, then I'd allow it. Once my child reaches the appropriate age where it wont fuck up growth (about 14 or 15, at least) then I'd ask him about drugs. I'd let him know about how safe weed is, and as long as he promises that it is the only thing he does, and never hides anything from me I'd allow it. I'd make sure he never carried it on him or if he did very rarely, never had paraphinilia, anything of the sort.

As long as my child would be RESPONSIBLE, then I'd allow it.

[TheLion]

I'd wait until they were at least 16. Then, if they wanted to smoke, I'd let 'em, but I'd lay out the rules.

[llamaman666]

Once their old enough I would, but no way would I be the one to introduce it to them. And if they were 13 or less I wouldn't let them, then I dono. Itll be 14 years anyway. got time to think it

[Caseman]

Wonder why pot will never be legal? Because 63% of you fucking downies think its OK to give kids pot! Seriously, I'd like to leave this country because you are all just too fucking stupid for me to fight anymore. You are like retarded children and George W and Unkle Sam dangle candy in your faces whille they take your lunch money and fuck you in your in your stupid asses!!! Duhh, da candy id gooooood! We wike da candy,duhhh!

There is an overwhelming amount of evidence out there which prooves irrefuteably that marijuana is damaging to teenage kids. Adolescent marijuana use does cause damage to the brain because it has not fully matured and the psyche is still under construction. If you advocate teenage pot use you are perpetuating and feeding the flames of the war against marijuana.Period. If you really look at the evidence objectively you will come to the same conclusion. The US government has found that this is our one and only legitimate weekness and they are using it right now to campaign against marijuana. If the marijuana community rejects teen pot use and we stop accepting teen pot use to be a part of our culture,the governments arguements against pot are weekened tremendously. We need to distinguish what is right and wrong. The government uses teen pot use like a chizel to hammer away at the strength of the movement we are making for the medical legalization of pot. And,as we all know we can't get to the recreational aspect untill we get the med part first. Think about it, how many antipot commercials have you seen that use the image of pot smoking teens to make their point? Take away the image and they have nothing on us. Its alot harder for the government to point the finger at responsible adults than teens because they have a louder voice and thats the only place they would have to attack next. Unless they decide its a good idea to aim their campaign against med users like people with lukemia and AIDS. Without the ability to paint this picture of our nations teens using pot,they will lose,lose and lose again. They are using the teen propaganda to keep pot illegal the same way they used Reefer madness type bullshit to criminalize pot in the beginning,only there is truth to this and we all need to accept and admit it. They want to portray the marijuana community as bunch of irresponsible people who will hand a joint to anyone and we need to clarify that this simply isn't true. Medical marijuana is the answer to remedy the problem. We need to make a point to the American Government and convince the people of this country that we need to employ some system of regulation to keeps kids from using because the war on drugs has proven itself to be inneffective. Legalization is the key to do just that! There isn't a med club around administering pot to kids, and that is were our power to change the old laws lays!!!!! You can read about the new campaign against teen pot use on cannabis news. Let me know if I have changed any of your minds.

[Juggalotus17]

Point taken. Although, once again if a teenager is responcible and doesn't let amotivational syndrome take good grip on them, then teen pot use is fine.

Also, don't forget if it was legalized, then it would be that much harder for teens to get weed. I can get more weed in school in one day than alcohol in a week. True fact.

[slipknotpsycho]

first of all let me start by saying that everybody's body is diffrent just cuz it's bad for one person doesn't mean it is for the other....second of all...are you saying there should be an age limiton everything? age is just a number it doesn't tell you how the person's body or psyche will react to each and every thing...3rd of all it's not advocating...it's realizing the obvious....that htere is a very high chance that they will eventually try it and alot of them will like it and do it often. maybe i should have rephrased the question to "would you get pissed and throw a fit if you found out your kid smoked weed" but i assumed everyone was smart enough to know what i was saying...guess YOU proved me wrong....fourth of all.....if you started before 18 then you have no room to talk about any of this....fifth of all.....in my experience there are alot more mature 15 year olds out there that smoke then 18-20 year olds....if it can be handled responsibly i don't see a problem wtih letting my kid smoke...it's not like i'm going to shove a joint in his face and be like here smoke this...

[Encatuse]

Age is just a number to only some extent. You'll rarely ((ever..?)) see a 90 year old as physically capable as a 20 year old or a 3 year old as mature as a 30 year old.

I know these are extremes, but I think they kind of show that age does have SOME basis in reality. I recognize there are exceptions, but these are just that, exceptions.

Life experience DOES effect a person and age signifies life experience in alot of cases. ((Though not always.)) I know that a 15 year old could have had more life experience then a 30 year old, but it's rare.

So, never close your mind because there's always exceptions out there, but it's okay to be a little age biased, since there's alot of truth in age bias most of the time. ((Wait, the guy who's moving all my furniture is fucking 80? He'll break his arms! - Bias, most likely true.))



More on subject: We shouldn't endorse weed to kids, but to deny that some teens are just fine with marijuana is ignorant.

So everyone pretend you aren't going to give your kids weed, at least until it's legalized.

[Torog]

Howdy Y'all,

I voted no,my 'kid',is already grown and out of the house,she didn't want to smoke anything,when she was in school,she actually graduated and got her diploma,something which she probably would not have done,if she was gittin stoned all the time. I partied all the time,when I was going to school,dropped out when I was 16,but went on to git my GED..I'm glad that my 'kid',didn't follow in her dad's footsteps,in that regard.

Have a good one ....

[yoda]

i wouldnt say it as "hell yeah" i'd let them smoke, but when they are old enough(16), i'll certainly smoke with them if they are responsible about it. only on weekend's/nights of no school. if their grades slip, no smoking.

[Reefer Rogue]

Yea i would let them smoke, Probably at age 15. I don't know if i want to intaduce weed to my kids or let them make the choice themselves. I'm leaning towards them making their own choices but if they do choose to msoke, i can't wait to smoke with my kids.

[ShamanicHippy]

hey Caseman did you know that kids who try marijuana are, on average, more socially adjusted and, psychologically healthy than kids who have not. it isnt all bad

[supersonicchronic]

You make a good case caseman, thats why you probably call yourself caseman. Go ahead and leave, I won't miss you. I don't appreciate you saying "all you stupid fucks, like your so much better." I would rather my parents know I do it, either way I'm going to still fuckin do it, same with 99.99999% of kids. You want it legal so bad, but you don't think kids are going to do it more if it was legal? If you see it's fucking your kids up then put a stop to it, but if they're responsible and going to use it anyway I would rather know they are, that way if they are fucking up, I'll know its the ganj. Not like those parents who don't know, then seeing their kid get really bad grades, skipping school and catch them smoking, and then blame all their problems on Pot. Weed isn't for everyone, shit my kids might not even like it, but I don't know what I would do w/out it for these last 7-8 years. What did they say fucks up kids so bad anyway, because I've smoked 350 days out of the year since I was 15, so did all my friends. We're all good, honest people. Its not like we're goin to blow shotguns in our babies ears, most people said somewhere around 15-16, any younger then that, and it's probably not the best idea. It's illegal because most of the fuck heads that make it illegal are those a-holes you go to highschool with that won't drink a beer, say a curse word, and think marijuana is the devil. Fuck them, fuck their parents, and fuck they're whole family generation.

[slipknotpsycho]

all i can say is lol about the last couple of sentences......

[Jekl]

Who in there right mind would let there kids take drugs? Or raise there kids around drugs?

[BUZz UK]

yes becaus im 16 and my dad buys me a half evey onece and aq wile so he knows im not doin other drugs and soem one dousnt fuck me and give me like pcp but he like limmets me to the weekend
i wouldn't if my kid had spelling like that! /\ /\ /\

[Torog]

Who in there right mind would let there kids take drugs? Or raise there kids around drugs?
HowdyJekl,

Exactly..especially if their education suffered,because of their drug-use in school. Gittin educated and having a job skill,is much more important,than gittin high at school or where ever. I don't have a highschool diploma,because of all of the partying I did in school,I had no choice,but to git a GED,so I could git a decent job and go into the military.

Have a good one ....

[sanganja]

Only if he or she want to smoke yea i dont have any problem as long as he or she understand what weed realy is i dont shust take it as a drug................ and i will love to smoke in family and then maybe watch a movie....... a beatuful sunday with your family :D

[amsterdam]

i would rather them smoke some bud than kill themselves drinking and driving.

[boycey58]

depends what kind of kid they are. i got a mate who's only 13 and smokes cigarettes and weed and drinks a lot. i think he's a total nutter but he won't listen. if a kid is responsible about the amount he/she smokes then i wouldn't have a problem with it.

[Edgar]

Never having kids... Wondering why all of you are planning on having kids...

[spliffstar22]

When I have a kid, my kid can smoke weed if he/she wants to. I ain't gonna stop them. When/If they want to, i'll educate them on it, and tell them just weed. If i ever find out my son/daughter was smoking crack, i don't know what i'd do. I'd tell them from the start, when their 13, i'll teach them bout everything. If my son/daughter comes up to me and says,"Wanna smoke a spliff" I'd go down to the store, grab a blunt, go in the garage and have a big session. I ain't gonna be a hypocrite, and let myself smoke weed, and say they can't do it..

[supersonicchronic]

i would rather them smoke some bud than kill themselves drinking and driving.


Fuckin true that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slipknotpsycho]

Never having kids... Wondering why all of you are planning on having kids...
...yea that's what my wife said......look what happened now i got a kid.....don't jinx yourself...say your going to have like 10,000 children.....and you won't have none....lol

[5HT]

Who in there right mind would let there kids take drugs? Or raise there kids around drugs?

you wouldn't let your kid have a caffinated beverage or take cough medicine?

I'd definetly, but I wouldn't make a steady habit of it.

[sinbin]

im not gonna introduce my kids to weed, but if i find out they smoke i will definately join them for a session. If my kids find a bong or something and ask what it is, i wouldnt lie to them, ill be honest with my kids about marijuana, and if they reach an age that i feel is appropriate and they want to try it, ill pass thm the bowl.

man, i wish my dad was like you, my parents have caught me smoking weed, and they dont want me smoking it, my dad used to be a stoner back in the day (wowie that sounded strange) but he said to me, when your older (18) i'll get some seeds and we'll grow it in the greenhouse, and we'll smoke it. but he said he dos'nt want me smoking it now cus im to young (14{15 in a few months}) so basicly right now i have to smoke in my room with a towel under my door and hide the fact i smoke weed. but when im 18 im gonna be siting in my living room, smoking with my dad :D

[slipknotpsycho]

ok well first of all if he used to be a stoner then i'm sure he knows you already doing it and just not saying anything...i could be wrong tho so don't go waving it in his face....second of all....you get alot more than alot of the younger crowd here gets.....they get wigged out on a piss tested more than a parolee....so just chill and know that your dad is cool withit when you get older....and trust me...when you get passsed 18 years old you'll wanna be back young again....

[supersonicchronic]

man, i wish my dad was like you, my parents have caught me smoking weed, and they dont want me smoking it, my dad used to be a stoner back in the day (wowie that sounded strange) but he said to me, when your older (18) i'll get some seeds and we'll grow it in the greenhouse, and we'll smoke it. but he said he dos'nt want me smoking it now cus im to young (14{15 in a few months}) so basicly right now i have to smoke in my room with a towel under my door and hide the fact i smoke weed. but when im 18 im gonna be siting in my living room, smoking with my dad :D

Hey man, you got a cool dad. Your pretty young, seems like you have a good head on your shoulder so I'm not going to say it's bad to smoke, but put yourself in your dad's shoes. Tell him when you guys grow it, it better be some good shit because you don't fuck around.

Peace out all... I guarantee I'm as high or if not higher then anyone of yoou.

[slipknotpsycho]

i dunno .....i'm pretty smashed...

[Bwueh]

Look kids [ and people alike ] are going to do whatever the fuck they want. America is a great example of how mankind is gonna be the end of itself. I'm not even voting because I honestly refuse to make a stand for either sides of the party. I smoke enjoy it and on with my life. Besides you can actually have fun without getting high and I think it's important that someone doesn't lose touch with that fact. If they do, weed becomes there life, thats when the drug starts to own them and they start the downword spiral into being absoutley nothing but a pothead.

[DonnieDarko]

I am also a parent of grown children. I stopped smoking and drinking when I had kids, because I didn't want any chance of influencing them. Up until age 14 or so, I would give them no opportunity (lots of supervision) to drink or smoke anything.

During the ages 15-18, it was a don't ask, don't tell, don't get in trouble policy. They had opportunities to experiment, behind my back, and I didn't want to know.

As adults, they now can clearly make their own choices, and can talk to me openly if they have questions. They have shared some of the stuff that they "got away with", nothing earth shattering. Looking back, I think that they appreciated the limitations.

[Edgar]

Im gonna have 10,000 children.

[boycey58]

man, i wish my dad was like you, my parents have caught me smoking weed, and they dont want me smoking it, my dad used to be a stoner back in the day (wowie that sounded strange) but he said to me, when your older (18) i'll get some seeds and we'll grow it in the greenhouse, and we'll smoke it. but he said he dos'nt want me smoking it now cus im to young (14{15 in a few months}) so basicly right now i have to smoke in my room with a towel under my door and hide the fact i smoke weed. but when im 18 im gonna be siting in my living room, smoking with my dad :D

don't your parent smell it? even with a towel under the door it'd still stink the place out.

[sir smokes alot]

i agree with supersonicchronic

[Caseman]

I'm sorry for insulting people by saying everyone's retyarded.Yeah,I said retyarded. Has a nice ring to it. I was havin a bad day when I wrote that I guess. It's funny that people say that they think its ok that 15 and 16 year olds smoke reef because that is the age that most people begin smoking and that's the age where harmful effects of mj are found in studies. Not ages 18 or 21 or 30 or 40. Its not about whether your kids are able to smoke and maintain their grades. Its about their ability to have healthy, mature development pschologically. What if your kid is an A+ student but has developed social anxiety disorder or depression and spends his days in the back of the class then comes home and smokes pot and completely misses out on a normal life? Pot doesn't neccesarily cause these problems, but it can make them worse. All I'm saying is the evidence is there and its pretty fuckin solid. All the other claims and studies that the government has are weak in comparison. No, I don't think that I can get kids to stop using pot any more than alcohol or having underage sex. But if we can get the image out of peoples minds that we condone teenage pot smoking we would gain alot more credibility when we fight to decriminalize. I was merely voicing my frustration at the fact I can't do anything about it. People get confused when I have an opinion about pot that is negative but they cant see the reason why I guess. It is a good thing to weed out the bs in our culture when it come to weed. Other things that frustrate me? I think that all studies done on marijuana using low grade pot should be tossed in the dumpster. I also think that we tighten border patrol around mexico and stop smugglers from bringing their dirty seedy twiggy mexican garbage into this fine cannabis loving country. The midwest is absolutely rampant with this shit. I think we have the power to get rid of it because we are the ones buying it. Keep it high quality and domestic and preferably organic. Schwag weed is where people got there stereotype about stupid bumbling stoners because they have to smoke massive amounts of carbon monoxide and chems from burnt plant fibers and seeds and stems just to get high they end up stupid after years of smoking. Thats why they called weed, dope. It turned these daily schwag using people into dopes. This is another thing that effects our image in society along with kids smoking pot. There is a big difference in the effects from smoking good herb. I think we can all agree on this issue that we would like all weed in the US to be good stuff. Anyways, that's a completely seperate topic.

[alcoholfueled]

what the fuck caseman? y the fuck are you on this site if your going to preach bullshit like that? i couldnt give 2 fucks if weed was legal or not, well yeh, id prefer it to be legal, but im not about to fight for it like that. anyone can get weed anyway.
no, i wouldnt give my son weed, but i wouldnt care if he did it to much, i just dont want to feel responsible for getting him into it.

[Bwueh]

Man if you don't stop your kid from smoking or at least talk to him about it your a bad parent and should be held responsable for it. Being a parent means raising your kids, if you do nothing you have failed.

[slipknotpsycho]

well...i asked this question for a reason and i didn't want to say that i did i just wanted to be as a poll to see more honest answers......i still don't know i mean i've never planned on introducing it to him....but i have a worrysome wife (he's not even 1 year yet so i got some time) but i want to know ahead of time whether i'm going to do the whole "you don't need to be doing that blah blah blah don't do it again" thing "or if i should do the whole "son, this isn't somthing to just party and have fun with there's alot more to it then just stickin it in a pipe and smoking it....you need to learn about it and stuff" thing.....i dunno.....it's hard to think of what to do tho. becasue it is a decision that will affect the rest of his life.....

[bowlsnapper2012]

i think it definately depends on age cuz my friends little bro is 12 and we wont get shit for him cuz i dunno i feel like the younger u are introduced to people with the potential to get other drugs the more potential u have to fuck up. Its not that i think cuz he's smoking weed he is gonna get hooked on other drugs.. its just the dealers around me sell other shit i wouldnt want him involved in and plus i think its definately bad to start before highschool i dunno my opinion though

[yoda]

im not gonna introduce my kid, but if i can smell it on them or so when they are 16, i'll ask them and demand they be honest, and i'll be honest with them(that i still smoke). this is also assuming they dunno i smoke. but i wont wait until they are 16 and demand they smoke. i dont want to be the one to introduce them to it(although i'd rahter it be me cause i'll be truthful about it opposed to the chance of some kid telling them some bullshit). i dont even like smoking jacks in front of little kids cause i dont want to think that they might wanna smoke cause they saw me doing it.

[Caseman]

It's like I I've always said "its not my fault that alot of the dumb population smokes pot."

[KrypticFlame]

Nah i wudnt smoke in front of him. But you ever ask your parents if they smoked when they were younger. And if they said yes your like fuck yeh man my parents are tight and you think to yourself well they turned out fine so i might as well do it but fuck man that just leads the other drugs and shit. But nah i wudnt tell him i smoked unless he asked but if my son smoked already i'd be like alright fine and only smoke with him like on weekends and stuff
