Bringing children into headshops?

[enthused]

I try to make all decisions on my own, but a lot of what I learn makes those decisions what they are. Everyone has their opinions and ways of doing things, just let them be. No need to be hostile. Although I will admit sometimes I get frustrated and post while anger is the only thing fueling my thoughts. It happens.

If you think that you can't learn from others, then you are a 'fool!

i didnt say you couldnt

i was simply pointing out your miscontrewn conception of trial and error

[hellomandude]

I think it's wise to step back, and take a good look at what others do. If only to see the outcome...

Although, thats not the point I'm trying to make..you are correct. You can't follow the person in question for 'several' years, lol!

Even so, you can get an idea from the kids demeanor at the time...

A kid would'nt look at cannabis the same way as you, you have to remember they think on different wave lenghts to you. "why does daddy smoke cannabis if he dos'nt need it?" "if my dad does it shud i do it?" and alot of other shit, they don't think the same way as you,they think about toys and friends and having fun and playing games, not fucking cannabis. you should let the kid wait til he's older and just let him find out on his OWN, because he WILL, and even if your child does look at these D.A.R.E things and thinks "i dont want to try cannabis because it sounds bad" then so fucking what? you should respect his opionion and should'nt FORCE cannabis uppon your child.

First of all, this is a discussion and I respect everyone's opinion. If you can't conduct yourself civilly, don't reply. It's really that simple.

Of course a kid wouldn't look at cannabis and think about it the same way I do. I don't look at cannabis like I do the first time I was exposed to it and I was pretty much an adult by then. As a parent it is your job to help your child come to a conclusion--to bridge the gaps. I'm not advocating cannabis usage by minors. I'm just not interested in seeing children lied to or sheltered from the reality of the situation in the hopes of keeping them safe for a short while. You're robbing Peter to pay Paul if you play it that way.

When the child is a teenager and maybe understands the proper usage of cannabis, but an 8 year old and a toddler? Come on now, that's TOO young.

What do you people think?

Key word, CHILD. A child doesnt have the ability to understand the proper usuage of anything, let alone a mind altering substance like drugs. I'm glad I never smoked in highschool till my senior year, I would have been much worse off now than I am. I wouldn't want my son or daughter smoking pot on a regular basis while they are trying to get an education.
