Am i an asshole?

[OzzyOz]

ok
so it's a tuesday afternoon... my little brother walks in ( turns 13 tommorow by the way ) and says, "Rob... i've got something to show you".
So i say, " yeah, what???"

He shows me 2 bottles of jagermeister, and says "do you want to buy this"?

ok... first of all, he's going into 7th grade and he's holding 2 bottles of jager. Somethings wrong with that picture

So i say, " hey buddy, how about i get some of that for free"

He agrees

so 30 minutes ago, he walks into my room and says "hey Rob, i'll trade you that jager ( it can be yours ) if you get me some Weed".

Now he's asking for weed

So i really dont' want to give weed to a 7th grader... i think he should be in 8th grade before he tries it.

I say, "alright... let me go get some".

So i go out to the kitchen and i pour a tad bit of sage, a shitload of oregano, and some other herb into a bag.

i come back into the room and i say "here's your weed"...


Now he's like, "will you roll me a joint?"




So basically, am i a asshole because i just gave my little brother fake weed. I only did it because i don't want him smoking, and he insists on trying it...


should i tell him that i sold him fake weed?

what should i do man... he's gonna be in 7th grade soon and i know if this keeps up, he's gonna try it.

Fuck... i can see him turning into a tweaker. He has a bad personality for this shit...

[OzzyOz]

man...
my parents killed me when i was in 8th grade and got caught
they'd kill my little brother if he got caught with it
he's not even in middleschool yet

How old are you?
so he knows you smoke it?
any way, i definately would tell him he is way to young.I dunno, education has to come first and if he starts that in 7/8th grade, he isnt gonna be in to his studies, he is gonna be into getting high every day,,,,,,,,,,
just my opinion :)
Good luck\
Let me know what happens ok?

[KEGS]

Ya you beat your Brother to get what you wanted you could have sad no
I started smokeing weed when I was 11 12 years old an my brother's would
have never done that to me.

[Ae...]

You're doing the right thing but going about doing it the wrong way.

Don't give him a spice meddley. Try and talk to him about holding off until he's a bit older. Tell him you know from your own experience that it would be more beneficial for him to wait another year or so.

Another thing...I'm an only child so it may not work this way, but I'm assuming if he gets caught it will be both your asses.

[orangeman]

I dont think you were wrong at all, just as long as the shit didnt hurt him lol.

This guys got it right on the money

You are doing the right thing

but fake weed is def not gonna steer him away from the real stuff

you should tell him it was fake, but let him know why you did it

if he knows you smoke, this may be a bit of a problem, but I'm sure you can explain him that monkey see monkey do isn't gonna work right now at this point in his life....

[puffpuffand away]

Let him do what he wants ta do. But don't give him fake weed...

you are doing the right thing...he needs 2 w8 a bit...13 is just a bit young...b there 4 him...thats good...and im not sure what u should do bout tellin him u sold him spices tho...

[OzzyOz]

welll ok
so i felt bad
i went into his room and i was like " see you shouldn't smoke yet, because your gonna get ripped off ". I then told him that i ripped him off, and that it could've happened to him.

I then told him that he needs to wait untill he's atleast 14... which means, 8th grade.

I said, "hey if you want to do it so bad, go tallk to people you know and go get some yourself... i'm not gonna help you get any because i don't think it's a good idea for you to start this early".



:-)
damn
i rox

and i still have the alcohol...

[graymatter]

and i still have the alcohol...

LOL... I see an MBA in your future.

[mojoke]

dude... it depends on what your brother's like. if you know he wont tell your parents you should smoke with him but not give him any other weed.

[ilovebecky]

Well obviously he is gonna find out eventually you gave him fake shit. And with or with out you he is gonna try to smoke. So i think the best thing you can do is do it with him and try and teach him instead of some other random person that might lead him down the wrong path. Be honest with him about how you feel about him smoking at such a young age. good luck

[tootsie roll]

you are doing the right thing...he needs 2 w8 a bit...13 is just a bit young...b there 4 him...thats good...and im not sure what u should do bout tellin him u sold him spices tho...


Actually, that was the age I was.
Short story here. lol

I was snooping in my big brothers room and I came across 3 rolled joints. I had seen pictures in school, so I knew what it was. Well, being the snotty little sister I was , I went and told on him.
He didn't get in any trouble from the monster (he never did anyways he was like golden or something)
So anyways, his friends were over and my punishment for telling was I had to smoke a joint or be killed. Of course I smoked the joint.:p
They just sat there and laughed at me.
It couldn't have been 10 minutes later that the monster called me to take the dishes out of the dishwasher. I walked right to the kitchen, out the sliding glass doors and dove straight in to the pool.
The boys were laughing so hard they wre crying and the monster was confused on the verge of being pissed.

Well, that was the last time I smoked for a long time. lol

I just thought I'd share that . lol:dance:

[Cooler Then Jesus]

cant we see past age? tell him youll smoke WITH him, and smoke REAL weed. take him in the backyard, and blaze 2 joints with him, and say "Wheres my jager bitch!?" maybe punch him, causse hes your bro, and he needs that, and when he gives you the jager, tell him youll smoke with him later. imagine if you were in his position, hes trying to earn your respect dood. and give it to him, if he deserves it..i smoked and drank in 7th grade, and ill tell you, if a brother who would have traded me weed for my jager, i would have done it, and i would have been WAY better off. and so will he. because he is DEFINATLEY to young to be drinking HARD (notice i say hard, meaning 60+ proof only) alchohal. just smoke him out, and get one of the bottles, then smoke him out later, and try to get some more, maybe even trade him some weed if yah gots to, just try to make sure he is left with as little alchohal as possible. he probobly doesnt even like drinking yet, most likely a "sipper".. so i wouldent be to worried..trust me, you, being his brother/mentor. cna get him on the right track, and by the time he IS in 8th grade, he will be a pretty cool kid. with lots of little freinds you can sell to. heheheh.

have a good day,
and please, take my advice into consideration.

[minnesota man]

You did the right thing. Smoking that shit will only make him disgusted with it and he'll get the point.

[Skink]

When I was 12 I was smoking a cigg and out of the blue I saw starz... My older brother whaled me when I wasn't looking,said I should not be smoking... Although my brother is a good person today I can't get over it...

He was only 1 and a half years older than I and he smoked ciggs...

[Gothen]

I don't know, I don't think kids should smoke anything, ya know? I mean, I know its an inevitability that kids are going to smoke weed, but if I can, I want to make sure my kids are at least 16 or 17 before they try it, if at all. I'd really want them to hold off until they're an adult.

You got the situation covered already, but I would have said "You really should wait until you're older because I don't think you're old enough to be able to understand fully what cannabis is and what it can do to you. Give yourself a couple more years to understand who YOU are better, as well. Then, if you still want to try it, I'll be right there with you and smoke some of my stuff with you."

[baisez le monde.]

not an asshole, but that kinda fucking sucks.
why don tyou jusss tell him how ya feel or mayeb smoke with him his first time,eh?

[notech]

NO. . . . You did'nt do the right thing in my opinion... My eldest son is only 13 years old, and i cringe at the thought of him even 'thinking about smokin ciggies at that age, never mind cannabis. . . . Instead of givin him herbs you should of sat him down and had a 'chat' about him been to young to start smoking anything. . . . And i know ya might say that maybe he would'nt of listen'd to ya, but damn it's better than giving him the stuff ya gave him, and way better than giving him actual cannabis. . . .

[willystylle]

i really dont' want to give weed to a 7th grader... i think he should be in 8th grade before he tries it

QFL

I voted yes, but that's meant for me. No bro, you did the right thing and you're an awesome brother. If you think your little dude is gonna grow up to be a crackhead bitch then I think you should do it with him, rather than let him find this shit out from the wrong people. That way you can teach him his limits and keep an eye on him too. Definitely start showing him the ropes now cause he sounds like a damn fast learner.

Again well done on your decision.

[Euphoric]

lol u only succeeded in ripping off your own brother

[OzzyOz]

no man
more like a tweakers
i can tell
i've seen shit like this
happen to people i know
i think he just wants to experiment
but he's the shady kinda person that'd get addicted to stuff....

Yeah i'll show him what weed looks like
lol
but i did make a good point that he's just gonna get ripped off
and i don't want him to waste $200 like i did when i first started toking...

[OzzyOz]

not an asshole, but that kinda fucking sucks.
why don tyou jusss tell him how ya feel or mayeb smoke with him his first time,eh?

it's not that easy
he's like in the middle of puberty
it's kinda weird to see a 13 year old smokin...

it's just that my parents are psycho about weed
they made me throw out an ounce
and were thinkin about taking me to rehab
it sucked alot
but i smoke now anyways


i think my little brothers problem is that he wants to be a rebel. When my parents tell him to do something, he doesn't do it... etc.
I think he just wants to be a rebel in his own way

[OzzyOz]

I don't know, I don't think kids should smoke anything, ya know? I mean, I know its an inevitability that kids are going to smoke weed, but if I can, I want to make sure my kids are at least 16 or 17 before they try it, if at all. I'd really want them to hold off until they're an adult.

hmm sounds like a good dialogue homie
thanks

i posted that i told him that i gave him oregano ...

i just wanted him to see that fact that he was gonna get ripped off

[NightProwler]

heres what you should do. tell him that alchoal can kill him because he's too young to handle it, so whever he has alchoal, he should give it to you.(that takes care of the alchoal problem) and tell him that weed can be laced with deadly shit, so he shold NEVER try to get weed from anybody except for you(that takes care of the weed problem) now its up to you if you want to give him weed or keep him from it.

[OzzyOz]

dude
i was shitscared of weed when i was in 6th grade thanks to dare
but he's not only wanting to try weed, but also alcohol

WTF
hmm
i need to talk to him soon

btw, i smoked a cuban last night :-)

[rainbows.rsexy]

uh...u want your parents to eventually find out ....they'll kick ya out dude!

[stinkyattic]

You're doing the right thing but going about doing it the wrong way.

You are damn right.

[Skink]

I went to NYC and got shit faced... I went to Washington Square and got a nickle bag then I went to Steak&Ale and had a sizzling Sirloin and 2 pitchers of Ale... I then went to a bar and did a shot and some more beers... I got so drunk I missed the last bus out of the city and had to wait in Port Authority til morning... My mother got me a suede jacket for my birthday which got stolen by three punks who basically said"nice jacket,give it to us and we will let you go... Oh and I pissed my fucking pants cause I did not want to go into the PA bathroom and risk the fucking lunatics jumping me... This was all On my 13th birthday...


What I see is you ultimately got one of two choices here,stop smoking it yourself to set a proper example or tell your parents... You can't tell him not to do what you do,it don't work that way, regardless of age,all people are diff and some grow up way before their time!!!

[beachguy in thongs]

I answered "No", thinking the question would be, "Am I an Asshole?"

[chisme]

ok
so it's a tuesday afternoon... my little brother walks in ( turns 13 tommorow by the way ) and says, "Rob... i've got something to show you".
So i say, " yeah, what???"

He shows me 2 bottles of jagermeister, and says "do you want to buy this"?

ok... first of all, he's going into 7th grade and he's holding 2 bottles of jager. Somethings wrong with that picture

So i say, " hey buddy, how about i get some of that for free"

He agrees

so 30 minutes ago, he walks into my room and says "hey Rob, i'll trade you that jager ( it can be yours ) if you get me some Weed".

Now he's asking for weed

So i really dont' want to give weed to a 7th grader... i think he should be in 8th grade before he tries it.

I say, "alright... let me go get some".

So i go out to the kitchen and i pour a tad bit of sage, a shitload of oregano, and some other herb into a bag.

i come back into the room and i say "here's your weed"...


Now he's like, "will you roll me a joint?"




So basically, am i a asshole because i just gave my little brother fake weed. I only did it because i don't want him smoking, and he insists on trying it...


should i tell him that i sold him fake weed?

what should i do man... he's gonna be in 7th grade soon and i know if this keeps up, he's gonna try it.

Fuck... i can see him turning into a tweaker. He has a bad personality for this shit...



erm for us brits can u tell us his actual age instead of relying on school grades?

[OzzyOz]

erm for us brits can u tell us his actual age instead of relying on school grades?

yeah
he turned 13 yesterday

i'm almost 16...

i smoke about once or twice a week now... i like to keep it in moderation :D

[OzzyOz]

uh...u want your parents to eventually find out ....they'll kick ya out dude!

i don't want them to find out
but... they drug test me like once a year randomly
i think they need to chill out
i mean, sending someone to rehab over weed.

I mean, i only smoke like once a week now... i barely spend money on weed. Occasionally, i buy a gram bag of some real good stuff and smoke it with some friends :)

Besides that, i don't smoke too much...anymore

[m.g.]

ripping off your own brother thinking he's doing him a favor??? lol, oh man are we ever going to be in deep shit once you kids gain power...


well wait a minute now...now that i think about it it's really not much diff than now! nevermind...

[kuulbns]

The age old c.com question,... how young is too young. To some 13 is too young. As people age we see things from differant perspectives. I'm old so yeah,... he's definately too young. He isn't even done growing yet. A 13 year old boy is still waithing for his voice to change and to find his first body hairs. Their brain chemistry is still developing. Anyway,... that's my 2 cents. :)

[a. beezy]

just dont tell him and always give him the same shit if he asks again. hopefully he'll decide he doesn't like weed and won't try it again for a long time.

[graph]

I think you did the right thing in everything.

You taught him an important lesson about getting ripped off, and you probably stopped him from smoking for a little while. Now, I could go into what age I think is right for someone to start smoking, but then we'd probably just be going around in circles here. So I will say, that the final gesture you should make on this manner, is buying him a fat sack on whatever age you think is best. That way, you didn't really "rip him off", just made him wait, which is smart.

For future reference, though, make sure any bottles he hands you of anything are unopened. Remember, he's been fooled before, and nobody likes realizing what they're drinking tastes like, and probably is, draino.

[OzzyOz]

^
aha
alright
yeah
they were sealed jager bottles :-)
for the next party i go to ofcourse

[Heroindude]

yes

[4hous2tx0]

asshole!!! age is just a number but knowledge is power... i dont know where im going with this but thats fucked up!

[yankeesgirl83]

So i really dont' want to give weed to a 7th grader... i think he should be in 8th grade before he tries it.


Haha that made me laugh like crazy.

[smokey]

i caught my lil sis at tht age smoking
i got her so stoned she dont touch it at all
she even hates the smell

[Samwhore]

i think you should give him the fake stuff untill you think hes ready to try the read bud and then give it to him, but tell him to only buy from you so he doesnt get the real thing before hes ready,,, i think its cool to look out for your little bro, i wouldnt want my lil sister to smoke either

[go toke up]

i think that was pretty gay for what u did to yer bro.just dont tell him it was fake.

[DE.Db33t]

Look, you give him the fake shit now, he'll see it sucks and not do it then tell him when he is in 8th grade and smoke him down right, redemption mf.

[852741252369]

dude, not the right thing to do but credit for trying. I waited for ages until I tried shit and I'm glad I did. People do all sorts of shit for the reason that only yhtye can decide wether is wrong or right.

I would say not to hook him up but then, if he' gonna try it you can be there to moderate.

Good luck mate...

[thebathroom]

Bro, u totally did the right thing as an older bro. For one thing, as an older brother, u have license to be an asshole, and ur lookin out for ur kid brother. Make sure u don't tell him until later, then smoke him up for real. He def should wait, that's fucked up that little kids are starting weed... Of course i didn't try it till my junior year in high school.. but i'm a late bloomer

(btw, this is zlessley, not thebathroom, the ideas and opinions stated above do not reflect those of thebathroom or her associates...except for me):thumbsup:

[sharpezor]

you're not an asshole :thumbsup: you where looking out for him, you not only gave him fake weed, you took the alcohol from him.

you know hes going to get more, so you should look out for him regularly.

i didnâ??t try weed until i was (17/18) (im 19 now) and i think 16/17/18 is a good year to start.

when my brother turns (hes 12 now) 17 (maybe 16) we'll defiantly. share the weed. that is unless he doesnâ??t get into it before then.

[Inferius]

Wtf are you guys talking about?
You brother comes up to you with TWO BOTTLES OF JAGERMEISTER. THEN ASKS FOR WEED. Are you that friggin' blind? I was a little different when I was around that age, I loved being carefree and young, but I also wanted to taste the forbidden fruits as soon as possible, and know all about these things. I also knew that there was no way anyone in my family could know of my personal intentions, becuase then suspiscion would arouse and I'd have less of a chance to be free.
It all depends on the individual I guess, but I was a little brother. Theres no way in HELL I would have done what my older brother told me, in fact, I would have done the EXACT OPPOSITE. You're not an asshole at all man, you're doing the right thing, but trying to advise him and chastise him is only going to get you the opposite of what you want, if he's like me at all.
The one thing that I would do, is explain to him all about puberty and brain chemistry and the effects weed and alcohol and even caffeine can do to young people. Don't tell him not to do it, or give him fake shit, that's just bs. Tell him you understand he's going to make his own descisions whether you try to excersize your "brotherly control" on him or not, but that there are serious consequences if he does, things he has no idea if he'll regret later in life.
I had the oppurtunity to be "educated" about weed by my oldest brother, around 12/13, and I didn't become a tweaker, I didn't even become a stoner until I was 15. I understood the consequences (becuase my brother actually respected me as a human being and realized I was his BROTHER not his KID) and decided to wait for a bit to smoke more.
But if he walks up with two bottles of jagermeister... and then a few seconds later asks for weed... I just have a feeling he might already know what' he's doing. If that had been me, I would have.
But I was (and always will be) the most curious ass on earth...

[robert42]

give him fake weed u did the right thing

hell smoke it say wow weed is shit and wait a few yrs b4 he tries it agen

[OzzyOz]

give him fake weed u did the right thing

hell smoke it say wow weed is shit and wait a few yrs b4 he tries it agen

that's what i was aiming for

he's kind of an asshole, and weed would mellow him out... but he'd get busted, and i'd get in TONS of trouble

not worth it

he won't get the fuckin clue though
he came up to me with a $100 dollar bill today and was like, "give me $50 of weed, and i'll give you $50"

i said no

$50 isn't worth getting kicked out for giving my younger brother weed...
