so you are saying that it stimulates brain growth and has no negative effects?? so by this token, we should be encouraging kids to smoke as soon as they are big enough to learn how?? i mean, to make them smarter and all

That's not what was said. But neither is there proof that it is of any harm at all.
Don't get me wrong I'm not gonna say "Hey smoke up Johnny."

shit I'm 100% sure it made me smarter. but each to his own. if you're not comfortable with your kids doing it that's fine. I personally will NOT have a problem with my kids smoking at age 14 up.

the intellectual effects I've experienced are:
increased memory
faster reading and better reading comprehension
better creativity, more idea's on a daily basis

and not to mention I just feel smarter, I feel like I've blessed my brain with a chemical that's helping it grow.

before I started smoking I used to have terrible memory problems, forgetting shit all the time and really hardcore add symptoms. smoking pot daily heeded no negative side-effects and simply improved my life.

I dont think kids should be smoking until atleast 14, because they should be out just enjoying life having fun, and not worrying about drugs.

poplars · Apr 30, 2009

yeah I mean life before 14 you pretty much live in a state of ignorance unless you've been forced out of it. but I think kids should start on vaporization.

I started when i was 15. I Haven't had any negative effects yet. I wont say im more intelligent then i was but it has not made me any less intelligent. Honestly when i have kids i wont mind them smoking but not until there around 15 years old.

northeastern lights · Jul 3, 2009

Well, as for an age I think it should be and probably would be regulated like tobacco. 18 years old. Not that most kids have enough life experience at this age to make the smartest decisions but there are some.

you can't stop them from smoking but you can create an environment where they don't need weed and can deal with there stress and life problems without it .if that fails at least they are not smoking tobacco and alcoholic i peer a kid that smokes then not at least you have something in common when they are rebelling

Exactly! God knows nobody could stop me or tell me anything as a kid. Jeesh, my poor parents.

Now as a proud father of 3 I do understand what it's like being on the other side of the fence. You can bring a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

EDIT: When I was 14 as a troubled kid in the city that was all me and my father had in common at the time. First time we burned together also. Not that I condone it... It was the best he could do to have a chat with me and my "situation" at that time.

My dad grew outdoors when I was growing up.

I will still grow when I have kids.

ive got two boys... both are too young to understand anything about drugs, but my oldest does make a distinction between flowers, weeds, plants, trees, and 'dads plants'.... i dont really plan on hiding anything from my children, they will be sat down and talked to about me and what i do... i grew up like this, and i wanted nothing to do with pot; mainly because i saw that it really didnt change my parents that much, so why the hell waste money on it? alcohol obviously made you loaded, seemed more appealing...

i've also heard of way too many kids that freak out because the found out their parents smoked on their own... they feel lied to and betrayed, and also look at you as a hypocrite for telling them not to do drugs... i think the better course of action is to explain to them the truth of drugs and the reasons why it is best to wait until you are a bit older before choosing to experiment with any of them.

I firmly believe that people should wait until they are out of high school. I just think you should be done getting your diploma before smoking. I would bring my kids up in an environment where they know about it and are comfortable with it. Basically, make it seem so normal that they don't feel like doing it as a rebellion.

I think too people make too many assumptions about what teenagers are intellectually capable of . . .
