Happier then i have ever been... I live to toke another day...
Dont get me wrong , I had a friend witha F'ed up family who did all sorts of THINGS together... THere is a line... I just dont think its at pot...Raise your childern to be responsible... To make their own wise decisions and you wont have to worry about what they say when someone asks them if they want some crack. Raise them to know they can talk to you about their screw ups... That you will be there to help them make the right decisions...If you do their much more likely to call you when big things come up!!!

18 imo. 16 year olds really aren't mature enough to be able to handle it, even though they might get exposed to it at an earlier age, it's a chance I want to take.

this is getting rediculous...
AGREED WIKI!!...
lets compare this to our ol' neasis , alcohol, which we commonly compare, as it is a more harmful conterpart.
alcohol is legal, 16-, in a good amount of european countries and the driving age is higher....
now you all mention brain damage that can occur in kids/teens.... yes, it can I do NOT think you are wrong... but is that really even an issue??
my concerns would be with if I show this kid (whos probably already using anyway) something that is initially good for you as an adult, they will probably trust me more and have the OPPROTUNITY to make more responsible choices, than to do alcohol or DXM or ecstacy oir xanex (drugs people around me tried in lieu of weed first) I was a DXM addict untill I was introduced to our kind herb
... I stopped cold turkey after that....sorry I went off - 2 cents

Man! I used to drink 0.5L of vodka daily untill I started smokin. Haven't had even a beer for 4 years now and don't even miss it. On the other hand, kids will be attracted by what other kids offer in order to look hip or cool, and not what their parents will offer them, especially when they're becoming teen-agers. I mean when I was 18, the first thing I wanted was to have my freedom and make my own decisions and I don't regret ever taking that decision.They key would be to concentrate on bringing them up as an individual that can make correct decisions and only when their interest towards what we smoke arises, should we guide them to our world.
im 18 dude and i can tell you first hand there definitely gonna try it before that.i used to get all b's and c's on my report card and never said i would try pot.after i did it thats all i wanted to do.you should talk to them about it when the time is right but i wouldn't try it with them til there 18.b/c if you start at a younger age say 15 or so who knows they might end up tellin there friends or such and there parents could later find out?..who knows..ur quite a bit aways from that just my 2 cents imo

Do you smoke around them now? If not, start being a bit more relaxed about smoking around them when the oldest is about 15...
OR - when they hit about 14 offer them a single puff of a joint and see what they reckon...

you guys are right about the fact that there is a way to do it no matter the age, some kid are more mature then others, if i did introduce my kids to pot they would have to know that it is taboo to everyone else , and if you told anyone daddy would go to jail for a long time and you guys would be put into fostercare. (not that that would hurt your relationship with your kids, because they would still think you were the coolest dad ever)
if the kids could keep it on the low, which they're not going to because there going to till there stoner friends, that prolly only smoke reggo, and then your prolly end up selling weed to them, and then it will snowball out of controll. so if i did, it would have to be like newyears, birthdays, 4th of july,when the kids do something really fucked up and i need to talk to them,,,,you know days like this. the same moment that my folks would allow me to have a beer or pull on a cigar, i would just replace it with weed,,,, and for all those looking down on us smoker who would smoke with high are school aged kids , keep this in mind we're not talking meddicateing our kids the way we smoke we're talking everyblue moon toke, not every day, so culm down, (they have to get there own for that, LOL.)when my dad would let me drink with him it was jut one beer or something fruity, not a whole 6pack, and not everyday, like he drank
so when i say when is a good age to start smoking with the kids, im not trying to make them stoners like me. just a puff here and a puff there X-mas, -watching the game, movie night times like this

no the wife dont like the smell in the house, but she allows me to do what i want in my office (grow room) air is vented out of that room
- i dont even smoke cigs
so i would not want my kids over my folks house or the inlaws, and trying to imatate me rolling and smoking this would bring attenion to my house and maybe my grow
so i would want to wait for them to be old enough to keep it on the down low
- i useto work at the boys and girls club, the age group that i had was 5-7 year olds i had a kid that would take the inside of a pincel sharpener and dump all the shaveing onto a table and make blunt lines and then take scarpes of paper and try to roll it up, and it seemed like he was in another world (zoned out) when he did this- he would do this alot so you have watch what you exspose you young ones to , they may till on you with out saying anything

I still really don't like the argument "Oh they're gonna do it anyway" especially not because other kids are doing it and they're gonna try to be cool.
I don't know about you, but my parents raised me to have a mind of my own. I never did anything I didn't want to "just to be cool." Peer pressure only made me more stubborn to NOT do whatever it was.
I would hope you raise your kids to have stronger minds than that. Weak minds are easily lead astray.
And as for the "they're gonna do it anyway" -- like I said before, that just sounds like some lazy ass parenting to me. Anyone who thinks they would have done what they wanted anyways obviously didn't have parents like MINE.

Thats what I meant - like maybe 14th 15th birthday and maybe christmas if theres a 4 month gap or so...so long as its seen as a special and not everyday thing, and hell - only if they WANT to!

I reallly dont understand what your point is...and I dont know how peer pressure even fits into your post...but anyways your saying its lazy parenting, so wats your solution? what did your parents do? I dont think anyone on this thread said "my kids are gonna do all these things anyways so im just gonna let them and not even talk to them about it" and I dont think anyone said they wanted to "introduce" smoking weed or things like that to their kids...its not like that, I think they were just trying to get the point across that in general, kids or teens will do the things that they are not supposed to do, or that the parents wouldn't want them to do, but it doesnt mean its just a big free for all...would you recommend the parents give their kids no privacy, shelter the hell outta them and wont let them socialize because of the fear they might smoke weed before 18 or some shit...plus if you shelter kids then they wont even know their limits and as soon as they are on their own they will go even more crazy because they didnt get any of that out of their system in their teens...so I dont think simply acknowledging the fact that kids will be kids means your a bad or lazy parent...
When my dad found out I had started smoking weed, he told me he had always smoked weed, he did a good job of hiding it from me cuz I really didnt know, and he started smoking with me at 15...but only once and a while, and because of the relaxed environment with weed, it actually made me follow his rules more, and respect him more, because he was so cool in other ways.. he became like a close friend but he was my Father first and for most, and I always remembered that...it wouldnt work that well for all kids though I imagine.

I didnt understand what you meant, with your whole post in general? how is it lazy parenting to acknowledge that your kids will do these things? there is only so much a parent can do to interfere...What exactly is your question?

I don't agree with that AT ALL. But I have to go somewhere, i'll be back to discuss this in like..20 minutes.
I mean, do you really think your dad just thought he couldn't control you and that's why he smoked with you? I would hope that his decision to smoke with you was based on the fact that he thought you were mature enough to handle it...
SHIT, gotta go, BE BACK.

no you got it right when you said he started smoking with me because he knew I could handle myself and be responsible with it, nothing spurred him to make some big "decision" lol he found out I had started to smoke weed, and he decided to smoke weed with me and my brother, and we'd just have a good time, I dont think its a big deal....anyways I guess its different for everyone...growing up all my friends parents smoked...we used to get picked up late nights by whoever's mom or dad, and they'd light up a joint taking us home...but I guess some people think thats crazy. I mean if your gonna be a parent, who likes to use cannabis, and then you find out your teenager smokes weed, then I think its pretty hypocritical to try and make them not smoke weed, unless it is indeed truly affecting their schoolwork or something...anyways it doesnt matter, to each his own.
