Ganja, I am 55 yrs old and I am a lot smarter than you! What the fuck do you think I did in those 39 years if not learn a thing or two. Dont you expect to get smarter over time? I have 3 boys all grown. Now I smoke with them (the eldest isnt into it). But when they were teenagers I lied to them and sneaked around to smoke a J. (Apparently they were doing the same) If I had know that they were smoking pot I would have been pretty darn anxious because its a situation that can go many ways from a smoking a J to messing with hard drugs and bad kids - you dont know which it is and you get scared. Being a parent is a job from hell. The stakes are huge and no one knows what the fuck he is doing! You have to muddle through as best you can and the teenage years can be downright scary! When I was their age thas IS what I did and several of my friends didnt make it to adulthood. Teenage boys may know everything but they have a very poor track record. They are very prone to killing or injuring themselves and others through their own stupidity. No joke. Also, everyone is a hypocrite at one time or another, you included! Its an unavoidable part of being human - get over it. My kids accused me of being one - and they were right. Your kids will do the same to you and they will be right too!
