What will you say when your children use marijuana

[Black Ra1n]

I've been thinking about this for a while now. I know some of us in this place have children and I was thinking what I would say when the time arises. I can't be a hypocrite and say “no you can’t touch it” when I’ve smoke and grown for so many years. I think I will explain the false propaganda that the government spills, as well as the positives and negatives that are associated with marijuana. So what would you say?

about the same...then light one up and smoke it with them...ask them to only smoke it here where i know its safe.

my son told me wen he was 17 that e'd been smoking weed since he was 16, i was cool about on the outside but i was concerned on the inside. in them days i'd never smoked weed or been high. over time i carefully found out more bout wat he was doing and did som home work on smoking weed.

in the end i ended up growing and getting stoned myself, 3 years down the line i grow enough for my self, my mates, my son and his mates.

me and my son r going to the 420, he's wanted to go but non of his mates ever get round to it.

i did worry coz i do think a % young people (young teens) mayb at risk of mental damage. it wud b interesting to find out the % of mental illness in holland compared with uk.

"Drugs aren't bad. The people that abuse them are bad" is a good start, reinforce that with every false propaganda statement they hear. even those Viaga spots, "See, bad, promoting that everybody should use it, The're drug pushers and drug pushers are bad. While some people do need that drug, everbody doesn't like they imply".

Up hill battle for sure. I remember my oldest telling me I was bad for drinking and driving, and it was a soda pop... Propaganda for ya...

Disclaimer: All him and her / he and she's will be...whatever the fuck i say. Because I dont have kids. And uh..yeah.

Its complicated.

I firmly believe marijuana to be a medicine. Completely non-lethal (unless your a bug inside a bong), and to be used as anything else in this world. In moderation. But my kid will not use untill hes old enough to know what the consequences are. Hopefully by that time it will be legal so, if so, then im guessing 18 will be the age, like cigarettes. Which means at about 17 would be when I light one up with the kid. Untill then, Ill ground the shit out of that kid if i catch him or her, or worse, if the police do.

Like alcohol, its something that is to be used responsibly. And when my kid shows that kind of responsibility, I have absolutely no reservations about showing MY KID how to grow the best shit he's ever smoked.

Actually, I smoked mj over 30 years ago and quit because I had a family, was working full-time and going to college full-time. After my kids were grown, they were the ones who got me started back up. Two of my 4 kids have grown and taught me to grow.

My children do not know that I smoke or grow. I do not want them smoking pot, drinking or anything else until they finish high school. Once they go off to college, it will be their choice what they choose to do. If they choose to smoke pot at that time, I will not have a problem smoking with them. I am not going to be an influence in what decision they choose but I always tell them they can come to me to discuss anything, and I think they do....

I told my kids that if they wanted to drink, to do it with me there. If they wanted to smoke, with me there. However, when it came to sex, I changed my mind.

nice to see you can teach old dogs new tricks

So what would you say?

The truth
It depends on his/her age.
I plan on being their FIRST introduction to cannabis, this way they get the benefit of my experience, they are not indoctrinated with lies from the school/law, and they can make an informed choice. When the school dealer asks them if they want bud they can say "no thanks my dad can get me good shit"

In general I'm going to suggest that they refrain from smoking before school.

I will allow him/her to smoke at my house with me, and he/she can bring their friends over to burn. I'd rather them smoke under my watch in the safety of our property then to run around town trespassing, driving, and risking getting busted.
I will also give the caveat that they MUST maintain a good average @ school and not let it rule their existence. If they are becoming a burn-out, drop-out I'm not going to be happy.

Pretty much I will ensure they are informed and they can make their own decision.

 

[Black Ra1n]

My friends parents let him and his brother smoke in the basement when they were in high school as long as they kept there grade average up. I thought that was a great trade off. I too would rather my child get it from me than some other rip off artist.

Everyone has had some great suggestions.

I will give her the possible positives and the possible/more than likely negatives associated with marijuana. And I"ll tell her to make sure it doesnt affect the rest of her life. if i notice it indeed is negativly affecting her i'll ask her to stop smokin it and hopefully she will listen. But i'm going to cross that bridge IF i get there hopefully if im lucky enough she'll never get into it.

I wont say anything, I'll just hug the lil guy and then he'll get a lesson or two on growing marijuana. :smile:

 

[pieceofmyheart]

I have felt differently about this issue over the years. Right now I'm going with telling them it is an adult activity, like sex and alcohol. I do give them the proper info, they know I smoke but not that I grow. They know how I feel about marijuana, I have been honest about that. Good thing is, my kids do feel comfortable talking to me about anything.


It is important that you find out the risks of what could happen should you consiously allow your child and their underage friends to smoke.
To give them herb and/or smoke with them could put your custody at risk. One should educate thermselves on the laws, I can't imagine it would be a good thing, just like giving teens alcohol.

i suppose if i had a son it would be a whole different story. This is my first child but in my instincts im just overprotective of my lil lady. For some reason i've never liked the idea of women doing drugs. I know im a sexist pig this and that but thats just me and its just my opinion.

edit: ok people are going to misunderstand that statement so let me clear it up a bit. I dont like the idea of a woman im with or of course my daughter doing drugs. I've smoked with my sister on numerous occasions its just different.

Of course if my daughter does get into it and, god help me, falls in love with the herb i will teach her responsible use and the importance of staying low key.

 

[Farmer John]

Hehe, he is my first one also, Im kinda protectibve too but... thats about what my father did when he first heard that I smoke, and nothing scary has happened..peace..

 

[wolverine-419]

i have a 17yr old daughter and a 15yr old son and i can say is tell them the truth,i have a x (there mother that drinks everynight )and they seem to think thats ok but she is telling them that pot if wrong.i tell them if they see what theyre mom is doing to her self. and that they need to figure if they want to smoke they need to ask. just ask and they know they will get the truth.no b.s. its all about the truth and not the shit they get from school.they know that there grandparents and i smoke and that we are home and leading good lives. its all about the truth.(depending on the age) all i know is id ralther my kids come to me than someother jo and get info and smoke.ps let them know there is a time and place and leo is out there. THE TRUTH ,, THERE YOUR BLOOD and all and all its ok not a bad thing
