I can only relate to my own sister; 2 years younger, somewhat smarter than I am (and was). Back before I care to say, my band was rehersing, she was in the building, and I accidently happened to intrude on her while she was smoking a joint, listening to the band, stripped down to her knickers. The event gave me a bit of a jolt, and afterward I went to lengths to not smoke around her, not talk about it much except to say I'd lost interest, and especially not encourage her to hang out with the guys in the band. Was I over protective? I don't think so. A lot of years have passed, and the little Rhodes scholar has done pretty good for herself. She never really got into extreme behavior, and always ridiculed me for being too over the top. I always felt a sense of relief that out of all the bad habits I've picked up, not too many of them seemed to have encouraged her to try the same. I think that getting stoned at 12 is just too soon.

As if it wasn't obvious, your sister isn't some fleabag bimbo you will drift away from in a few weeks; she'll be there for the rest of your life (if you're lucky). It doesn't sound like a good idea to get her started with anything that might do her harm, no matter how much some people, including yourself, can handle it OK.

Just my opinion.
