WTF?should 13yr old be smokin pot w/ prnts

[FlaDankster]

Sure, just for you. Anything you can do to make sure the kid doesn't make a mistake early on. That is your responsibility.

I can't tell you how to do it. Because it's different for each person.
Like I said it's my opinion on the subject. If you don't like it please ignore me.

In this situation I'd rather have a safe 13 year old that hates me. Because later I know she will thank me. If you don't agree that's your opinion, and I don't want to hear it or discuss it.

Thanks

No need for me to ignore bro

I just feel that what your saying is IMPOSSIBLE to do.Some may do better than others but unless you lock your kids up,give them no tv,radio,public schooling or contact with nobody but you your not gonna come close to what you desire to achieve.

But i do give respect when it is deserved........your putting your all into it it seems which is what alot don't do.So 2 cool points for you bro.

Stupid, yes. Child abuse, no. Thirteen is too young to be toking up IMO.

How in the world are you making the connection that good, responsible parenting is somehow stifling a child's growth?

Your logic is severely flawed.

Have any kids?

Once again, this topic needs to be viewed through the eyes of an actual parent, and not the "Fuck the man" mentality that permeates youth(I'm trying to be kind here)

Although, I do quite often say "Fuck the man" myself, I think the difference being I actually understand why I'm saying it and with good cause.

You know, something other than "My dad's a dick for making me take the trash out"

. Bra if you have a problem with me don't act like a child about it.. You know nothing about me and we can just keep it that way if thats OKAY with you?? LOL Headband707

"Marijuana" (stupid name) is not a drug. Drugs have toxicity. I'll bet these kids are fine today.

this is a crazy subject....
i have kids,i have 5 of them little crazy fawkers
oldest is gonna be 18 in a few months...the ages are from 10-18 the two oldest are 15 and 18.
my two oldest smoke and i know it,i dont smoke w them but they know i know.wasnt suprised or mad when i found out...i didnt yell at them,i didnt tell them they was in trouble.that would make it seem like weed is a bad thing,im not a bad dad or a bad person so why would i want them to think something that me,their mother and alot of other people in their life that love them do is bad?...i talked to them about how to not get themselves into trouble ,not to smoke in public places or riding around in a car like dumbasses...i told them to NEVER score a bag for a friend,if the friend cant get weed then the friend just cant get weed...because what if said friend gets busted w weed...parents or police gonna ask where did it come from,and if said friends tell.....my kids look like the connect.gets all bad from there you know...
told them im not disapointed and that they are not bad kids,told them they are the best kids in the world actualy...also stressed the use in moderation and that too much of anything is bad for you,even too much water you know....
i have never toked w my kids yet,i dont think they are smokin weed like i am growing,i mean im growin some mf gunfire out here yo,not to toot my own horn but my weed is mf top notch.im sure they have clipped ole dad for a nug or two here and there i aint a dummy...shit if i was my dad id be clippin me but they aint tokin bubba and cheese and the others i have on a regular basis you know.
lately ive been tempted to toke a j w my son late night when every one else is asleep,he will be 18 in like 3 months,i know he smokes daily..he goes to college next year,full ride music scholarship (me and his mother couldnt be prouder)
as for my 15 year old daughter,well i think shes too young to smoke w me right now..maybe in a couple years ill feel different,maybe sooner.
and the youngest 2.....i should have atlest 4-5 years before im dealing w this issue w them my kids are well rounded,have bomb grades,and good friends for the most part...kids are gonna be kids do you remember being that age?..in this day and age with all the hardcore stuff availabe to these kids i am blessed that the biggest thing i have to worry about is my kid smokin some weed.
peace-T-

Hi, thanks for all the feedback.
I fully understand where MOST of you are all coming from, both sides. It is just my opinion that reguardless of what your child is going to deside to do behind your back, its our job as parents to TRY the best we can, reguardless if there doing what we did when we where children. I was 5yrs old when I started sniffing gas with a friend!!! where did my friend learn this? his father! Then at 6 we moved and I tought another child in my new neighbor hood to do the same at about 8yrs old. (true fucking story! sad!)

On this one, I will have to flip sides...I would commence to beating every adult in the room, if I seen that!!

 

[Mrs.Babba]

Until you have had kids of your own and have had to make those decisions you cant judge anyone else. We have 2 kids, one smokes the other doesnt and they both grew up with it in the house everyday.
Its not something a parent takes lightly but its life. You cant always control everything in it. You try to do the best you can and hope your kids learn to see whats right and wrong.
Kids[early teens] experiment, its part of growing up, all you can do is be there and hope they communicate with you and then you can make them a little safer. No one said life was easy thats for sure.
Everyone is different.

As much as we all love Cannabis here, kids should NOT be smoking. That's ridiculous.

Pot doesn't make you an idiot, but idiots may smoke pot. The parents in this case are idiots, at least from the little you've said about them.

You're going to bust into a church and start beating everyone's ass? You might get your ass beat. I heard the Coptics don't fuck around.

Don't know you from a can of paint, therefore how in the world could I have a 'problem' with you?

Your ideology, thought process and ramblings on the otherhand...

Can be a dangerous thing for people looking for real answers.

Feel free to just ignore my posts, me, I'll be calling out everything I see as bullshit,when I see fit.

That's what good parents do

I know what you mean. I just think it's dumb. Those kids taking the sacrament would be puzzled I'm sure.

 

[TruthOrLie]

What about kids in Jamaica, they can't smoke?

13 is a full blown adult in some places.

I guess its a cultural thing.

In some places you can be served alcohol when you're tall enough to put you're money on the counter. Age isn't even a factor.

I guess what most people are advocating is parents should hide the truth from the youth until they've fucked their own lives up and seek to find support back at home?

Here here. Someone finally said it. Some people think they know alot about everything when really, they don't know much about anything. LOL LOL LOL (that's distracting too, btw)

Dumb?? Those are BABIES-- 3 to 5 years old is completely different than a teenager--
I have no prob agreeing to disagree...maybe if they were eating a very small amount, I could wrap my head around it...but smoking at 3??

Taking any preconceived automatic responses out of it, what do you think will happen that is so bad?

 

[AbbieDoobie]

Yeah, I got 3 kids. Ages 19-21. Only smoked with the youngest, daughter, after she moved out and when she was 18. Her bf has all kinds of connects, but the weed is shitty most of the time, which is why I'm firing up the shed again after a one year hiatus. My wife is Pentecostal so no smoking in the house EVER, only in the shed or out in the woods somewhere. Or in the backyard late at night if I got a fire going. All my kids are in college, my son was called a "musical genius" at his school by his instructors, my two daughters are going to be a surgical nurse (oldest) and a medical lab tech (youngest). My son has toked weed once or twice with friends, but never with me, and I don't want to toke with him because he's rather straight laced like his mom. Now, my mom, in her 40's and 50's (82 now) was a fuckin' party animal from the 70's, right along with my dad. Now when my dad died in 75, a couple years later Ma and I were the tokin' twins. It was just us, I was 15 by then, it was '78, I had my own room, a piano (took lessons, I was fuckin' good at it), had a TV with this new thing called cable tv, stereo system w/ Pink Floyd albums, etc. Had an awesome fuckin' red acrylic bong that lasted me YEARS, not the fuckin' cheap shit you see nowadays. By the time I was a senior in HS, I started lettin' friends into the inner circle at my home. They were fuckin' BLOWN AWAY with the life style I had. All of 'em were fuckin' jealous. I really didn't know how good I had it. Even had a little pot plant growin' in my closet, but killed it early, cuz Ma was getting 'noid about it. But, as you can see, growin' was in my blood, lol. These are not the fuckin' 70's tho. Peeps were rather lax about shit back then. Nowadays they break down yer fuckin' door for a damn joint. Peace.

I have to agree with those saying it's up to each set of parents to decide and not the judgement of the court of public opinion. I myself don't have kids so I have to admit that the way I see things is radically different then how I'd probably see things if I had a kid. I do remember though that restricting me from doing things didn't work so I'd probably be inclined to try to find a different way if I had kids. All restrictions and punishments did were make me be more careful when doing what I wasn't supposed to be doing so as to not get caught and have those restrictions or punishments placed on me. I would have been much better off if I had parents who were cool about it and/or did it, who showed me the difference between responsible use and irresponsible use. Had that happened my path would have been much different as it took many years to learn that difference on my own.

The real issue I have is with the notion pot use necessarily interferes with a child's brain developement and that marijuana is being characterized as a "drug" in the same way as other "drugs" are. I agree with the person who says marijuana is not a "drug" at least not in the way we generally think of as "drugs". More correctly and accurately it is a natural, medicinal herb that requires no special preparation to use other then harvesting it from the plant. Our nervous system and brains are designed at birth to interact with the active ingredients of the plant via cannabinoid receptors. So the idea that something the brain is evolved to work with naturally would interfere with brain developement is so unlikely that it boarders on absurd.

If one uses just a little bit of reasoning it is clear that marijuana was meant to be used to fullfill medicinal needs, much the way fruits and vegtables were meant to be used to fill nutritional needs. Our bodies are designed for it and it exists in nature thru evolution, such is the nature of nature.
