Can Anyone Help Me? My Parents Smoke Pot!! i NEED Advice!!

Im just amazed that parents dont want to set a good example,they lie to their own kid and nobody here can see how much it is stressing/hurting the kid.

I hope they arnt lying so the kid wont do drugs in the future.
If the kid goes on to do drugs, soft or strong, the parents wont have a leg to stand on if they try to tell the kid not to do it.

Just as parents let their children know they are not to drink alcohol before a certain age and or maturity level, they need to give them the same message about pot.

Bottom line, children should not be smoking pot, but their parents are adults and are mature enough to be making their own decesions.

The only reason pot is discouraged is because at this time it is illegal in this country.

It is illegal not because it's so harmful, but because the government hasn't gotten around to making a plan to make money off of it.

This is so rediculous. Within the next decade or two, pot will become at least decriminalized in the US.

If it is made legal, it will be an enormous venue of tax revenue for the government, and lighting up will be considered no more unusual than having a couple of beers.

On the one had, you'll have a purer product, on the other, it will be more expensive, as it will be government regulated.

Face it MG, marijuana is simply not that big a deal.

It's only made out to be this horrible thing because white guys in ties tell us it is.

Personally, I'd rather sit in a room with someone who's smoked a joint than one who has had 4 or 5 drinks.
Given, both of them will probably act a little "duuuuh", not there's a much greater chance the drinker is going to get angry, start a fight, start being annoying or aggressive, or think they're being really funny when they are being stupid.

Pot smokers just kinda sit back and relax.

I spent time with someone on drugs, they were as dull as hell.He seemed to be in his own world were no one else was welcome.It was his own personal thing.

Your right,drugs arnt a big deal at all and as ive previously said Im not morally against them,I just think the people that still do them are trying to live in their youth and are wasting money and time.

Exactly what is your life missing if you have to/choose to take drugs.

Id much rather spend time with people that use their time productively adn interestingly.

Being high isn't about being productive. It's about being mellow and relaxing. So you can see why adults would still do it.

And its about being slightly mentally impaired.

Surely there are plenty of other things to do that will relax people.
Things that wont leave their kid worrying about them as much as he/she obviously is.

I thought a child was supposed to be more important than drugs/relaxing.

I am quite sure that most adults who smoke don't do so when 1) the kids are in the room or 2) while they need to be watching and caring for the kids

And smoking doesn't necessarily mean getting blown out. Taking a hit or two a couple times a week is far different than smoking a whole joint every day.

You've never been high so really, you have no idea what you are talking about. It doesn't make you incapable of intelligent thought or action, unless you get completely blown out.

Does it slow your reflexes? Sometimes. Which is why responsible parents would not both be smoking at the same time. You need someone who could drive in an emergency and handle any situation.

Question MG

Would you have have an objection if parents sat down in the evening and had a glass or two of wine?

How about if they were massaging each other?

What about if they sat down saying "whew, I've had a rough day, I think I'll smoke a cigarette"

What if they sat and ate a REALLY heavy meal, something they enjoy doing on occassion.

ALL of those above produce both physical and mental changes.

Don't ever ask me do make any kind of decision making after after a massage, my brain has simply check out for awhile.

Yes, people who smoke a joint are actually dull to someone who hasn't smoked and is sitting around with them.

So?

Some people are dull who don't smoke.

From what I can remember in my misspent youth, when I smoked a joint, I felt like:

I had just had a great massage AND had just finished a big meal of all my favorite foods, and I wanted to have sex.

You know, that wasn't all bad. :wink:

Unforntunately MG you can't dictate to parents the types of things they want to do to relax a little. They may not want to meditate in front of a candle, or engage in exercise, or do other things you may think are more appropriate for relaxing.

This doesn't make them bad parents. Like Bella said, a toke or two isn't going to blow you away. If your house caught on fire, you'd be able to get the kids out.

Did you ever see the movie - Reefer Madness?

yea chill out dudes. smoke a dube and get laid. relax.

It amazes me how many people want to have sex after smoking.

dude

have you ever noticed, like, your hand?


wow

And ergo we have parents who don't care what their kids do.
Here son have a hit
here son have a drink
here son it will relax you
here son **** the law and be a lazy asshole
here son i'll visit you in jail
oh What your honor my son's going to jail? I don't know why. He's a good kid except that he drinks and does drugs. I don't know where he gets that from

Give me a break.....

I'll listen to you ralpheb when you come back to some statistics, with sources listed, on the % of children of pot smokers that go to jail......

PLUS - has ANYone, ANYwhere in this thread said ANYthink about giving alcohol or drugs?

Children are NOT adults.

It's not, do as I say, do as I do....

It's don't do it now, until your are mature enough to make the right decesion for you.

F*** the law?

Do you come to a full stop every single time you come to a stop sign?

There are good laws that make sense, and there are stupid archaic laws that put mindless fear for their bodies and souls in some people.

Have you ever engaged in sex in anything but the missionary postion.

That's illegal in some places too I hear.

yeah F*** the law. Eddie, this time I want to be on top!

Where did you get any of that from what we said?

I guarantee you that more people smoke than you know.

And now.....

A word from our sponsers.....

Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good,
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home.
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat.
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor.
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
They'll stone ya when you are young and able.
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck.
They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck."
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end.
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again.
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone.
They'll stone you when you are walking home.
They'll stone you and then say you are brave.
They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

Thank you Robert Zimmerman.

Sounds like there are ALOT of ACLU members in here AKA "hippies" .

You're dating yopurself, BAYLOR. Hippies were a phenomenon of the 1960s and '70s. That's more than 30 years ago. Nowadays they're known as "baby boomers."

Last night (once every two weeks on average)

It does not matter what anyone says becuase people will say and do what they like regardless of if it's right or wrong. In my opnion you can smoke dope and shoot you'r vains full of herrion all you wan't, I could care less. Think about the whole process you go through, you'r high for what maybe a couple of hours? and then you have to do it all over again... To me that is such a brainless and completly stupid action! It's unecesarey, yeah yeah I know so are alot of other things, so please spare me and don't play that old card.

I guess drugs help to improve ones spelling as most of us are admitted occasional pot smokers and we spell correctly. Also, no one else here equates pot smoking with shooting heroin.
