MORALS.....

I only deal with adults because, come on, let's face it, for every smart, responsible 15 year old there are 27,000 immature, stupid ones. When I was 15, I thought I was the shit, but as an adult I realize I was a complete dumbass. I may be out of touch with teenagers today but I don't think much has changed in the 15 years since I was 15,so I would not trust the majority of 15 year olds who are drug dealers.
I don't see any of this as a moral dilemma, though, just more as common sense.

Being an adult pot smoker in today's society is risky enough without doing business with a ninth grader. It seems like one of the easiest ways in the world to find yourself behind bars that I can think of.

LOL
I don't know if I can agree with the whole adults are smarter deal. Maturity is obviously in question, but I don't know if intelligence is....
I used to look up to adults when I was a kid... Thinking that they were all knowing and what not. Now that I'm an adult, and interact with other adults on a daily basis, I now know that they are just as stupid as kids. People in general are fucking morons. No matter how old they are. I was actually just commenting this to a friend the other day... So I stand by my comment about respecting responsibility.
So yeah, for every 1, there are 27,000 idiots. Adults and kids alike.

Do I give a fuck???
Personal choice and the knowledge that as teenagers we all think we are the dogs bollocks when in truth we are generally ignorant teenagers.

let me just point out that a little bit in 15 year olds, but mostly in the 16-17 years a kid goes through the most "gain" of maturity, dont belive the studies then go to a high school, and look at the difference between the freshman and the sophmore class, and then even moreso both of them and the juniors(for our out of states friends that grades 9 10 11 respectivly) my parents were and still are strict as hell, im almost 18 and if i have a girl in the house its only allowed if someone is home and te door is open and even sitting on the bed is off limits. and my dad was always telling me not to buy anything, didnt matter what it was he wanted me to save for a car or college, and when i was 12 to 15 i hated that, but beings they did what they did, them not being even reasonable sometimes payed off because it made me a better person. now they didnt do that intentionally, my dad still tells me that i should get my mind off of women because there a "waste of money" even though hes gone through probably 6 as he calls it "lady friends" and threw large amounts of money down on them, but he could spare the money so whatever. once u become a parent ur views change, because if u think about it while not having a kid u can kind of grasp a slight amount of it, basically think of your life, do u want your kid going thru what u did, or do u want them doing what things u did. I only know this because an uncle that is more like a friend to me, he has a son, who ive gotten to watch grow up from about 4 till now, and all the shit i did, i dont want some of it happening to him, like getting wasted outta my mind and waking up in my own puke who wants that when u see the innocence of a child, and now that hes getting around 12ish, hes starting to loose that inocense so witnessing what a parent witnesses makes me think about their oppionion.

on a seperate note, im not fond of younger kids like 15 and under,(not so much the 15 but some) getting into weed, just because they have limited job oppertunities for jobs or money, and that leads them to dishonest ways. Stealing from their parents, which thier parents did the work for that money, and the sure as hell didnt work for thier kids to go out and buy weed with it. i usted to think that my parents were agianst me, and on some things they are, but id have to say that 90 percent of parents, especially mothers, are looking out for thier childs best interest. and sometimes 15, and most under that age think there parents arent. thats just how i view it.

:D Thank you all for the feedback, it made for a interesting read ;)

lol, i agree...i havent actually posted on this thread yet but i've been reading it as it happens, like most of the threads really...in the end it is down to morals and seeing as peoples morals differ i guess there is no answer...well....thats my input :D

Buying weed from a kid is ok, its a part time job for them. You buy cigarettes off kids too young to smoke them at the corner store. Its only SELLING weed to kids that is wrong. I buy weed from anyone i can it from a 13 year old to a grannie. Anyway any high school kid knows more more people than the most popular 30 year old. Plus most street deals where i live are either faciliated by kids (ie they bring people to the dealer) or the kids hold the drugs for the adult because they are minors. I would rather have a summer job holding weed than flipping burgers.
I have a core group of about 5 friends now, and zero of them smoke weed. If didnt know young people i wouldnt be able to get xtc at all. So i know lots of high school kids.I walk up to a group of them and ask for weed. If you are going to get ripped off its more likely by a 25 year old. They have been around longer. So i totally disagree with this :




" I only deal with adults because, come on, let's face it, for every smart, responsible 15 year old there are 27,000 immature, stupid ones.

Heh it's not like you ask people for they ID when you are buying/selling to them. I know 15 year olds who look older then i do. If anyone is pissed at this thread just get over it. We are having a discussion. Not the end of the world :p

what about midgets? sometimes i get them confused with kids.

in any case, look at it philosophically: to posess a certain moral or anti-moral is completely up to the individual.

I personally spend my weekends puching babies and arranging ritual sacrifices using homeless people.

if i can sleep at night, it's my deal.
