when and what you will let your child do

[Balkey]

When they are mature enough to smoke weed and still be productive.....I wouldn't care but if they are smoking it when they SHOULD be playing hide and seek.....they will want to stay clear of me!!!

I don't think I will put an age limit on it but if they wan't to use it ever I will let them as long as they research it as much as they can. As for drinking I guess I would pick them up if they wdre to drunk but at the same time I would always tell them not to drink as its not good for you at all.

good post hun!
i think that when my son is old enough to start realising that mummy smoke big fags, then ill stop doing it, but when he is older and if he choose to smoke, get stoned, drink, or take drugs then i will explain the bad effects it had on me as a child, and explain to him that if he is going to do it, it must be in the house, where i can check on him and help him if he needs, dont get me wrong ill make sure he knows its bad, and ill make sure he knows im cross with him, but intill that day comes, he wont know a thing about what me and my husband had done as youngins.

it should be their choice, you just have to explain the bad and good of everything

its their minds and bodys and they will do what they want period

I'd much rather see my daughter smoking weed than drinking. I've rarely seen girls get taken advantage of after smoking a bone but I've seen plenty do shit after 3 beers that they never would do sober. I know this is veering a little from the topic (don't expect much more from a stoner!) but I guess I wouldn't be very upset if I found out she was smoking.

:jointsmile:I wouldn't mind If my kid smoked pot with me or his friends as long as he isn't doing any drinking or doing anything Drug that is deadly!!

I don't think this is an age issue, but, far more of a maturity issue.
I have a teenager and I would contest to his smoking at this point because he isn't responsible enough to remember garbage day, or pet feeding, without reminders and it's just not time for him to experiment like that yet.

Other kids, same age, same interests, I can see where it would be OK.

It's not as though my kid's a tard or anything, but he's simply flighty by nature and still kind of a puppy with his energy and attention levels. Not long ago I picked him up from school (where a uniform is required) and he was wearing gym shorts instead of the usual pants. I asked him where the pants were; he did not know. The boy lost his pants: he doesn't need to smoke just yet, seriously. (in his defense he was being picked up from track practice...but STILL!)
I have a good friend / neighbor who's son is the same age and our kids are good friends. She allows her son to smoke; both kids get along great, it's not a part of their friendship, they have so many other things to do and discuss. It just so happens that this other boy is the eldest of 3 other children and has a higher level of responsibility, and more of a need to chill out after babysitting and chauffeuring. My kid is an only child and the situation is just very different, although quite similar.

I read a response above describing that her particular children simply do not have time to get interested in herb yet, and my kids in that situation, too. In our home, pot is regarded with relaxation rather than partying, and, being a teenager, he'd rather play soccer than sit and relax with Mom and Dad.

Got 3 kids, and I don't want them smoking until they are out of high school. It's not because I think it will hurt them, well kind of.. I just want them to be as mature as possible when and if they decide to see what it is all about. Even in the early 20s they are still children, I know for all my maturity at that age I was still a stupid kid. I had a good head on my shoulders and understood a lot more about the grand design than others, but a still I look back and think... damn I was stupid.

I just don't want them to get into that whole "getting high" mentality because that's is how I was at some point, and it got me in a good deal of trouble. Also I think Marijuana should be given more respect than just a way to get high. My kids are smart little guys, and my 12 y/o is so impressive and is become a rather talented writer. One day I want these guys to learn about the importance of strong cognitive abilities, meditation and reasoning, some of which I speak to them about, thing is, I wouldn't trade all my knowledge and education for anything in the world, and I would like them to have the same without distractions.

well when/if i have a kid im not going to let them smoking pot intill they are 15-16 because i want there bodies to be mostly devoloped atleast and im going to tell them that they can call me any time if they need a ride home from a party if there drunk, and im going to tell them if i hear or see them doing any hardcore drugs no more pot so basically im going to let them smoke and drink a little with me when they are around 16

what will you guys do about your kids smoking?

I agree with you,

I started smoking pot when i was 13 witch is way too young, 16 is better,18 is best.
I did some dumb shit like drinking and driving and things like that, even tho my dad and mom always told me to call them instead of drinking and driving.
You can tell your kids they can call you but, no kids want there mommy and daddy to be picking them up at parties.

Ill still be telling my kids to call me to pick them up, if i catch them drinking and driving there going to be in deep shit.:thumbsup:
