I am not sure diving while stoned is a good sport to promote to the youngsters...but it could be perfectly safe. I have never tried it, but it sounds irresponsible.

Speaking on the age thing: it is up to "We the Adults" to set a good example through education. I am not sure "Get the fuck out of here until you are old enough," says anything to the kids except that Marijuana is bad, so you can't have it until you are old enough. This makes them believe that it is bad, and kids like to do what they are not allowed to do.

We all know that Marijuana is not only not bad, but is quite beneficial, and even essential to a healthy participation in the world. That is the message we should be sending to the youth. Again, smokers cannot rally to legalization while demonizing our own cause.

Kids would be a lot more mature if their parents were more mature. And to you kids: Your parents would be a lot more open and trusting if you were more open responsible. Believe me, there are actually parents and children out there with good relationships that have discussions around the dinner table and do not simply zone out to the television. They are rare, but out there and this should be our ideal.
