5 year old found my garden...

No I was talking about drugs in general. Didn't know it was stereotypical to teach ur kid moderation. I agree, best ideas are pondered, while stoned. Honestly I do think ganja should be used in moderation, if not being used for a terminal illness. .like they say different strokes for different folks.
To the OP... do what the majority are telling n pack up.

If you dont teach em, someone else will. The point is you smoke, and if you smoke dont have kids, or like its said in many ways be smart if you do. Jail does suck balls, and tell me if I am wrong but weed aint the only thing that will put you in the clink. I smoke but in my home, some go buy a house and plant 1000 plants, When I had the Feds come down on me it wasnt because of weed. Matter of fact my weed charges are all misdorminors from my youth. I deal with my family only, and no one here is telling on me. Shit happens sometimes, but how will you handle it? Like a bitch or like its another day, and it sucks, make it thru but smarter.

Used to have 8 year old help me in the med garden. His folks didn't mind at all they do heaps of perma-culture jazz so they believe in plants. So one day i am in my flower room. and he comes in and has been standing at the other end of the room for maybe 20 min's picking leaves off plant like he was watching me do, When i noticed him he smiled. I asked him if his pa new he was in here and he said yes{It was fine but pa didn't know till after i told him, pa was like if he is interested let him learn}. Seems like my friends had a much different reaction then most, but the culture seems much different out here then where i grew up! the world is a tuff place and you need all the lessons you can get! The young ones around here have been involved in trimming etc{not on any huge scale they are kids!} but once and a while if they want a book or something, i have seen parents make there kids trim a bit like teaching work ethic etc. It is just a weed, and there are lots of plants in our lives ! Weed is a huge part of the way folks survive out here, so it is around a lot and kids are exposed to it. Do i think it is a bad thing.No. But i now somewhere someone don't like it.I think that choice is up to the parents, in terms of the lies and truths they want to expose there children to. All i know is the kids will appreciate that you told them the truth, much more then another easter bunny story. When they are older and able to understand long term thinking, the veil drops! Santa lives!

Everyone is entitled to their privacy, and if money permits it, a private space too. Adults are entitled to a private area where no one has any right to enter or make any decisions. If necessary, it should be hidden & locked away from prying eyes. You can frame up, enclose and disguise a small grow area with a secret entrance, in a basement or any other room.

Your hobby of growing & using cannabis should've been explained to her & a decision about the future reached before moving in with her & having a kid. Growing weed with a kid in the house isn't wrong, if you're not a dealer. You'll eventually get ratted out and busted if you're dealing. Other than this, no one will ever know your business unless you tell on yourself.

Cmon dude, a simple 5 dollar padlock and a latch...you have to keep the stuff locked up if you are growing with kids around, its one of the few things that you can even pretend to use as an affirmative defense if you're busted. You can say "my kids didn't even know it was there and had no access" and it presents a lot better than the "cartel growhouse" with $1,000,000 dollars worth of pot on 8 plants that the news and cops will try to make it seem like there was.

If the kid has no reason to think it a big thing then he probably wont say anything to anyone so just show him the vegetables and tell him the others are just herbs. If you really do grow some of your own food as well people aren't going to be that interested in what he is saying.

question to any parents?

Do you have an "off limits" area for your kids in your house?

If so what is it?

That would't have stopped me around ages 13-16. 5 year old might not be crafty enough to get past a big padlock though. Kids are like little raccoons, they are curious and get into everything.

We had a discussion with my kids a number of years ago.

this year my oldest is helping in the garden and She will most likely inherit the same thing my wife has so better to get her hip now then to try to learn something while in massive pain.

be honest with your children if you can afford to. when some thing is a secret it is a WAY bigger deal to them. at least that has been my experience. If everyone with kids stopped growing herbs there would be A LOT less herb out there.

If you need medicinal herb and love your kids move to a medical state, period.

I don't have my grow at my house but I do smoke there so there are certain areas of my house the kids don't see. They know where my bedroom is but they don't come in, not because of the weed but I'm old fashioned and believe they have no business in an adult's room.

I work from home so they're unlikely to sneak in but I still lock up anything and vent when I smoke. Can never be too cautious, read too many stories of parents in prison over a left out pipe or pack of papers with leaf material and kid got a hold of it.
