Caught my kid smoking pot

[Mr.Maelstrom]

It really depends on how poor you are I guess.

But seriously it depends on how important you think something is. I used hot wheels or Lego mini figures with my kids.

But I remember my mother offering to help me get a car if I didn't get a motorbike. My uncle died on a bike and she saw some similarities. Still haven't got around to getting a bike and I'm 46 now.

Similar story here, my granddad on my father's side died in a motorcycle wreck. He left my father $1 in his will, hope they stuck him in hells boiler room.
I'm 38 now, never had the urge to ride one despite growing up around bikers for big stretches of my childhood.

Its just not enough protection from a wreck, even a civic going 45 mph that wrecks into you, it's likely lights off

its a larger issue than pot.
if it looks like she is trying to race to the bottom, bad friends, bad grades and risky behavior. You should be worried. But if she was just being a dumb kid, i wouldnt worry too much. maybe just be honest with her. Pot isnt deadly but it makes you comfortable with being boring when you make it your dentity. You believe she shouldnt tie herself down for some brief highs.

I can't stand this "brain isn't fully developed until so-and-so" crap.

It just seems like an excuse to delay adulthood, accountability and responsibility in citizens.

Unless there is a war on, of course.

On pot? I've seen people baked out of their minds on it. I don't trust it.

I know people who definitely seems like they gots permanent brain damage around high school age. The ones where ego is absolutely everything, but don't really have anything to be proud of.

Everyone I knew smoked pot by 16 and that was 20 years ago lol. If she wants to smoke it she will. Don’t go wild with rules at this point. It will backfire.

If I'm not mistaken, TS's sister was messed up on drugs, homeless, and RIP. Can't blame him for not wanting that path for the kid.

I had a co-worker who would brag about getting black out drunk and she made tons of mistakes at work as if she didn't know what the fook and was not qualified for the job. I suspect brain damage from substance abuse. Even the support staff looked down on her because of all her mistakes.

Make her eat it raw old school style. Eating it raw won’t activate the THC have to heat it up.
