Bringing children into headshops?

I was at the local headshop last night picking up some fuel for my torch lighter, and I was just wondering, is it normal to bring children into headshops?

There was one guy in there with his son, I'm guessing the son was about 6 or 7 years old, and the dad was showing him all the bongs, and pipes. The store is littered with pieces, everywhere! Then as I was leaving, a women brought in her daughter in a baby carrage. Like a toddler.

I didn't say nothing because it's none of my business, but if you ask me, mom and dads should be doing that in their own free time and not bring their children into a store like that when they are so young. When the child is a teenager and maybe understands the proper usage of cannabis, but an 8 year old and a toddler? Come on now, that's TOO young.

What do you people think?

Im with ya bro, kids dont need to be seeing that shit. There young minds are too young to understand. I wouldnt even smoke a jay infront a kid, it just aint fair or right imo.

Exactly. I'm all for one for hanging out with my children, when I have them, and have some puffs with them, when they understand cannabis fully and know that everything schools, teachers, and television spew out about it is not true. I know when I was 6 or so, I thought all drugs were bad. It didn't matter what kind of drug, but if it was illegal, I really thought it was bad.

i dunio mayb be assumed the kid wouldnt know what it was at such an early age. the little girl in the carriage is nothing to worry about cuz shes nto gona remember. but even if she does, the second she does D.A.R.E shes gona be like oh shit my mom does "drugs" and flip out. so yea i dont hink thats a good idea but w.e. their own decision.

You see, that's not true. A person learns more in their first 2 years of life than they do throughout their entire life.

I saw a father in a headshop with his 11 or 12 year old daughter and her friend not long ago. He was letting her pick out a bowl. I was just kind of like, "wow, my parents would have never done that".

They only remember the shit they did evryday in the first 2 years of their life (like walking talking...),
but u cant have memories of things like the day u were born, the youngest ive heard someone say they remember from is 3 and a half. u honestly dont have recollections of your second birthday do u???

most of the shops I've been to you have to be 18 or older to enter... maybe it's like an rated R movie and they can go in if they are with an adult... lol

thats crazy... the guy showing his 7 year old all the bongs... did he let him pick one out? lol

every headshop ive been in is filled with people my age (15) i donno, in canada i guess they dont really care as much as who enters
