So my son asked me about marijuana

[JunkYard]

It was only a matter of time with my hightimes, and CC magazines scattered about my bedroom. He's 10 and wanted me to tell him about marijuana. We started talking, and he told me something he said to his teacher in school. (I was so proud) They had one of those anti drug discussions in his class the other day, and he apparenty had heard me talking about the benefits, and the bs anti marijuana propaganda out there trying to sway people from using.

Anyway he went straght up to his teacher and said, "Did you know marijuana has never killed 1 single person" Apparrently the speaker had told the class that marijuana was a VERY dangerous drug. I smiled from ear to ear when he told me that, and I asked what his teacher said. He said "She told me I need to do more research, lol!"

I said great! "Do as much research as you can, and one day you'll come to view it as I view it, man." We talked about what dangers it does pose, and the benefits of using a vaporizer to lessen those dangers. We also talked about how it's best not to smoke until after the age of 18, so his brain has time to mature normally. We also, talked about the legal issues, but he never asked how it made you feel. (I found that odd)

Anyway, after the talk he asked how he could become one of those people who try to make it legal. I was floored, man! This kid is 10, said he wouldn't smoke until after he turned 18, but still wants to learn how to become an activist. I told him what his teacher told him.. .."Do research" and I follwed with, "and be prepared to speak about its benefits, and teach others what you've learned" That's about all he can do @ age ten, and I'm gonna help him as much as I can along the way. It seems I have much research to do as well; that way I can be the one to help lead him in the right direction.

So now it's all in the open, he still thinks I don't smoke, but he got this big smile on his face when I told him that I used to, lol!

He said "Really?"

I said yup!

"Your not kidding with me are you"

"Nope"!

It was a good talk, and I'm pleased that he came to me about it. Some kids would NEVER trust their parents like that. It was a good day!


Junk! :smokin:

I wish I had you as my dad ...its not that I dont like my dad, its just that hes extremely close-minded. If I told him I smoked weed he would send me straight to rehab and with SATS coming up I wouldnt be able to handle that...

And I know how the conversation would go too...

"I dont care what your research says, it turns you into a fool, just look at all those criminals out there thats smoke pot" ... and that would be his answer no matter what I would tell him

[napolitana869]

wow you must have done a good job raising him.

Goon on ya. But do be careful...
I recall asking my dad about that age about MJ...I recall vividly that he said yep, he used to do it and really enjoyed it. That was better than my mother lying about her history with the plant. But kids are so impressionable and YOU are a hero to your son. Just be careful...that's all.
Sounds great though. I have a son about that age too...the drug subject has come up, but I haven't gone 'there' yet. Goon on you and your son for being brave.

GooD on you (is what I meant).

Right with you man, I enjoy hearing this. I believe that by the time your sons adult years reach cannabis will be recommended for everyone!:rasta:

i found this really interesting because i think i know the answer.

he didn't ask you what it feels like because he can't even comprehend what could be differen't from what he is experiencing now and has expereienced in the past.

before you try a drug you have no idea about how superficial reality and life is. i remember when i awoke from the fog, it was before i had even smoked weed or done any hallucinogens. i just tried to think of what a drug could do to you and i thought about how it would effect your mind and your everyday perceptions about reality.

then i tried weed and got exactly what i expected. :smokin: :smokin:
