Kids And Marijuana

At 15 you need to share with him the down falls of use..wait till he's an adult and he'll figure out if it's for him
Please dont share your smoke with your 15 yr old child

Honesty works in my home. I'm a med patient...so I told my kids and don't hide anything from them...just as I expect them to do for me...

My oldest is 17 and has smoked enough to know what it's all about. To him it wasn't a big deal..he enjoyed it...and did it repeatedly..but now he has a new squeeze who doesn't partake..so he's cool just steppin out of the scene and is choosing to get laid instead. LOL.

Getting arrested is the biggest danger with weed..and I told em that. DON'T keep in in yer car...keep it at home of you think you gotta have it. (fuckin school brings in the drug dogs to the parkin lot!)

In the end..if you make weed a huge issue it will become a huge issue. Unfortunatley we've yet to figure that out in this country as they have elsewhere with alcohol. In most of Europe you can have a beer or wine at 16 and you don't see a buncha kids hangin in the bar gettin hammered. they are ALLOWED to use it..so it becomes routine and something that doesn't have the draw that it would if they were told, No, you aren't OLD ENOUGH for that"....

you only get what you give.

Yeah, I agree. Always tell the truth. I believe cannabis is good, and at 15 the kid's probably been smoking it for a couple of years anyway.

If the kid has even an oz of nous he'll have noticed his dad with the bong pushed to his lips... doesn't matter how hard you try to hide it.

Who better to smoke with than your dad? The guy that's done it for years and can tell the kid what it's really all about.

I'm a med' patient too, i just don't need a doctor to tell me what I need. I know what I need.

how old were you when you learnd of weed..who taught you...now with those awnser's would you rather teach your kids yourself....

my son is 12. i have never hidden any of it from him. at this point he has absolutely no interest. he kinda teases me about being a stoner. he is more educated then my parents. i believe that if i don't hide it from him he won't hide it from me. i would rather him ask me for help then some kid on the playground. and who knows more about weed then his father?

excatly.....

You're a responsible father, fdd'. Those are my thoughts exactly.

i remember going thru this life altering change when i realized half of what i been taught all my life was Bullshit. i've never lied to my son. and yes i do believe in santa claus. ok 1 or 2 things.

I don't believe in lying to anybody unless by telling the truth I'm going to get into trouble.

As fdd' pointed out, this world is full of bullshit. People are not allowed to say what they really think.

I believe cannabis is a good thing, I also think that if a kid's going to smoke then I'd rather it was weed, not tobacco or heroin, or speed.

I agree fdd, my daughter is young 5. I won't hide it from her when she is ready to know about it, I will talk to her. Honesty is the best. We can all learn from our parents in that respect. If there are open lines of communication, there shouldn't be any problems. I teach my daughter that telling the truth no matter how bad it is, is alway better than telling a lie. The lie always outweighs the wrong doing and has far greater consequences.
How old were you when you started smoking? I bet it was around 15, you should definatly talk to him.

kids are starting around the age of 12 in my country.

My oldest son 17 knows I smoked when I was his age he's doing great in school and has no desire to try or use and I hope he waits till he's at least done with his schooling.. And what do you mean you still believe in Santa? You mean he's been a lie for 38 years ?

It's better than a few of the english speaking members on this site. Don't worry about it, we get your point.

dont have a kid yet, but when i do i will not hide anything...ill inform him/her about the positive and negative things about smoking weed. i dont have a problem with having my child smoke weed, just do it in a safe area and dont start acting like a dumbass when he/she gets high...and my son/daughter would have to be in the teens from 15+...now in days i see little kids like 8 years old smoking weed (seriously), thats a disturbing sight...if my son or daughter smokes weed it has to be a reason for it. it could be either stressing or aching..but i wont let them become a low life pothead...
