first of all let me start by saying that everybody's body is diffrent just cuz it's bad for one person doesn't mean it is for the other....second of all...are you saying there should be an age limiton everything? age is just a number it doesn't tell you how the person's body or psyche will react to each and every thing...3rd of all it's not advocating...it's realizing the obvious....that htere is a very high chance that they will eventually try it and alot of them will like it and do it often. maybe i should have rephrased the question to "would you get pissed and throw a fit if you found out your kid smoked weed" but i assumed everyone was smart enough to know what i was saying...guess YOU proved me wrong....fourth of all.....if you started before 18 then you have no room to talk about any of this....fifth of all.....in my experience there are alot more mature 15 year olds out there that smoke then 18-20 year olds....if it can be handled responsibly i don't see a problem wtih letting my kid smoke...it's not like i'm going to shove a joint in his face and be like here smoke this...
