Yeah, I would let them smoke it..I wouldnt say no to anything my kid whats to do unless he's putting both of us at risk or if they didnt even know the point of why they wanna do what they do..I dont want my kids to be some fuckin trend whores lol, if they smoke marijuana even if they lie they are gonna have to tell me why and if they say "because my friends do" then the answers no..I wouldnt let them grow though because if I have to go to prison I want it to be my fault..I would hate to go to prison for something I had nothing to do with :p.

Jamaicans give weed to thier children to help them concentrate at school. I wouldn't give it to them, but if they got it thierselves, it wouldn't bother me. At least it's not going to kill them like cigs or crack or somethings.

if they are going to smoke weed they may be doing it befor 17... and i wouldn't smoke with them befor 18 or 21 because of the laws concerning minors...
I'd definatly let my kids smoke weed, even as young as 15.
I'd much rather have them getting high and enjoying themselves on a harmless plant than drinking themselves into a coma, and even dieing.

i would do it, but they have to be 16...so they can truely make the adult decision it is...and i would educate them about both the good parts, and bad parts, about drugs...not only pot, but mushies n salvia n peyote n et cetera

I know you would because I'm 15 and I do it and I dont care what anyone says lol. Also if you really think about it you can tell your kids they can have this and that but if you plan on your kids having a future they're gonna have to go to school which has people in there that are raised on a different foundation and eventually if they are looking for a certain something they'll find it and try it anyways :).

I think if they are already smoking it, then I would share my weed with them. I don't want to promote it to them. I want them to decide for themselves.
Weather or not they decide to smoke it or not I will teach them not to judge people for it. If they smoke it or not is up to them, but it is up to me to make sure they hear the truth about it.

Yes. Under two conditions:
A. If my wife approved
B. If I'm able to let them do it responsibly and in a controlled state.

Of course I would, but theres some important things to consider:
First off, I hope we all realize what a large majority of stoners/hippies/potheads existed in our parents generation. Meaning, there is an extremely good possibility that your father smoked more than you do, as well as did more coke and acid than you ever dreamed..
Second, I imagine having a wife who is going to be against our child smoking marijuana. Since if you ever asked around, way more women would vote against their child smoking, while many men would be fine with it. Once you understand the power women have on us, you can understand why most fathers must go along with the wifes consensus on the issue.
So while I can see myself not caring about my son smoking, something tells me that I will become like all fathers and pretent to care about it, but really just do it so he understands the importance of the aspect of "not getting caught".

holy run-on sentence!
anyway, i wouldn't promote smoking in front of my kids, but i wouldn't kill them or anything if they did do it. so long as they don't end up like burned out crazies.
I would let my kids smoke, why not? Only when they are 17 or 18. I tell them i will get it for them for the first time, and not to smoke anything of lesser quality than what i give them. That way they will always be get ting a good quality high and no fucking headaches.

Okay, no time soon= 5 or more years
When you're kid's 17= 25 years you have to think about it. At least.
And you know that age restrictions are only gonna tempt those who don't qualify. Ever seen a 13 year-old hang out with a 16 year-old?

Yes, I would let my childern smoke with me. I believe that it helps strengthen a relationship cause then your child feels more relaxed around you and feels better about expressing themselves. When I was growing up a friend of mine and his dad toked up together and they got along extremely well. The only time I would stop letting my child smoke is if I saw that it was affecting their grades or life in a significant way.
Happy Toking :rasta:

05-28-2006, 05:07 AM
i would, but only if they have started it form another place rather then my own, and they would have to be a reasonable age to let them. like i say 15+.
i would love to smoke with my kid(If i ever get any in the future) because i would hope he could get a job and supply me with some :) LoL
S i k
05-28-2006, 09:00 AM
the hard part is convincing them not to do it until they are like 17/18 and then all the sudden their father/mother is like "hey lets toke up"

05-28-2006, 09:18 AM
i would tell them as a small child for why we celebrate christmas....
The real Saint Nick was a marijuana entrepenour. One night he got soooo high
that we took all of his weed bricks, bagged em up into a big red sack, put on a goofy hat, whipped his midget named elf to help him carry the weed, hopped on his raindeer, and in a stoned rampage we climbed up from roof to roof dropping bricks of weed down peoples chimneys.
the end here take a hit of this..."night"
yea id let mine(if im gonna have any) smoke that after they are 18+...id even fog it out with them...id tell them to stick to the greens...and if they start taking any chemicals or any other shit thats not natural...then oh boi...that ass gonna get whooped...:stoned:

Yeah, once they were 16. I think I'd probably offer them a joint, if I was smoking it and see whether they were interested. If they were I'd certainly share my stuff with them, same as I'd share with a mate who came over. I'd explain about marijuana to them before they were 16 though, so they could make an informed decsion.

I don't konw. I've been thinking about this a lot, and I think that I would let me kids smoke, only after they're 16, and only if they keep their GPA at least a B or B+. If their GPA dropped, I'd definitely crack down and make sure they didn't smoke or drink or do anything until it was back up again.
I want to be a cool dad, but I want to be a good dad, and I want to make sure that the kids I have don't turn out like me, ya know? I'm only 18, but I already know I don't want them to be like me.

Good thinking. Great time to start them smoking pot so they can get behind the wheel of their first car stoned. Now that's great parenting. I also find it amusing you would actually offer your 16 year old child a joint. And we wonder why the youth is so fucked up in this country. Parenting has gone to shit.

Sorry, for wasting space. But, I just came from the sexuality forums and thought this was the "would you suck ass" thread. Whether or not, you'd do it, or let someone do it to you.
I thought you had said, "Yeah, definitely. But, if it interfered with my stool, they'd be in big shit."
Sorry.

Of course I will let my kids smoke, otherwise I'd be a major hypocrite. And I hate hypocrites. I will wait until I find their stash(bound to happen) or until I have the talk with them about drugs and such. If they want to smoke, I will let them. Hell I will smoke with them, as I would rather be with my kids smoking then them off somewhere without me knowing they are smoking. Then they can hook me up with some bud. haha
Rules of the house: Don't come home until you have some bud for your pops! Then we will smoke all night and have a blast. Some good bonding right there.

I wouldn't want my kids smoking at all until they finish highschool, or maybe their senior year. Every kid I know that started smoking early is a loser now, and isn't doing anything with their life.

First off, they wouldn't be able to drive at 16 because I'm in the UK, you dumbass. Secondly why pick on my post, out of all the others who've said the same thing? Thirdly I started smoking at that age, a great deal of the members of this site are that age, and I don't think we're too fucked up.
Better the kids are used to the idea of smoking and drinking in their teens when it's gonna be the "cool" thing to do in school. If it's not a big deal to them, they're not gonna want to rush out and try it without my supervision, and they'll hopefully not feel the need to get utterly hammered / caned and do stupid things to impress their friends.

In 17-20 year olds, smoking cannabis "lightly" showed a greater-than five point raise in IQ. Former users showed a 3.+ raise. Non-users showed a 2.+ raise. And heavy users showed a decline.

You act like its hard to drive stoned? A lot of people actually drive better AND safer.
Why wouldn't she offer her 16 year old a joint? Would you rather your kids be doing it without you knowing? I sure as hell wouldn't. I'd rather my 16 year old be educated about marijuana and its effects before some kid at school offers it to them.
For being on a cannabis site, tadaa, you sure do seem to be against smoking. Or maybe you just like to be a douchebag to everyone, all I see is you bashing others. Chill out and light one up.

That's dumb. Okay, weed slows your reaction time by 0.6%. I drive stoned as shit and still drive better than most people. Maybe people wouldn't drive so stupid if they'd smoke a joint and slow down, get off the phone, or quit day-dreaming about dumb stuff.

since you don't own your children, it's not a matter of letting them smoke weed or not, if they are truly free and will do what they want!
but it's much better to raise em with love and be straight up with them. tell them the truth and they will survive much better.
also, take your kids to all the reggae shows you can! let make their own friends, they will love you more for it!

This reminds me of a song by "The Man, Himself".
And seeing that you're name is "seattle", you might know it.
"You gotta tell the children the truth. They don't need a whole lotta lies.
Because one of these days, they'll be running things. So, when you give 'em love, you better give it right."

Hell no.
I would tell them that it's there choice and I would tell them not to abuse it too badly and let it get to other things.
It would be hypocritical to tell them to stop or scold them for it. I laughed when my dad told me to stop smoking and how bad it was. He didn't realize I knew he smoked and then he didn't yell at me after I told him.
i wouldnt let them, but once they reach a certain age(no younger than 16) if they choose to, they may try it if i feel they are ready to handle it.
if i also walked in my kids' room or something while they were with a friend, and im suspicious of them experimenting, and i see dilated eyes and pick up the clues, ill just tell them to have fun and wink at them, maybe offer to smoke. in the morning or whenever their drug has worn off, then ill talk to them. dont wanna ruin their trip ya know.
I would probably as long as he or she kept their grades up. Like above 3.0 . Thats what my gpa is. So they gotta do their best. It would be a privelage.
