I'd wait till they ask you about it cause odds are they will find it some how or anything in your house or smell or see you smoking it.

I think in 5th grade i had the DARE program, so I'd say around them talk to them about drugs but dont say that you smoke pot.

But if they ask you if they are mature and ready to know tell them the truth.

But i have to say that DARE actually got me kinda interested in drugs.

The truth. Which is some things are good for some people but bad for other people. Some drugs are more dangerous than others. Some people should absolutely not drink! They just can't handle it responsibly. Same could be true of MJ or some other substance even coffee.


When you think about it people use the "I HAVE NOT HAD MY COFFEE YET" excuse for their grumpy or perhaps even rude behavior. Coffee is a strong stimulant which can cause a number of ailments if abused by people who are sensitive to it. Some people can drink a pot a day and be fine while others suffer the stress of ups and downs, caffine headaches, stomach upset, stomach reflex and other aliments and yet will continue drinking it because they love the uplifting feeling it gives which can be addicting.

One of my friends can not sleep well at night and he drinks a pot of coffee a day. He also suffers from depression but will claim he feels better in the morning and that is of course when he drinks his pot of coffee. I suggested he cut down on his coffee intake to see if his sleep would improve.

I would tell my kids all the possible dangers associated with the different drugs along with the positive effects it could have if used responsibly. I think these things should be disgusted pre-teen years before they are introduced to them.

Ah coffee, I have to have coffee, can't work without it. I drink about 2 pots in a 10 hour shift, really to much.

I'm caffiene sensitive, used to use it heavily and regularly. Intake was only when I needed a boost... but then there were those days when I would buy and consume as many as I could carry, (starbucks double shot in the can) to the counter in an 8 hour period. I was also running coast to coast in a semi for 60 hours nonstop. I was also smoking a pack of smokes in a 4-5 hour period at the burnout point too.

Hello everybody!

My name is Bruno and I'm new here. I am a loving father of a lovely daughter. She truly is the best "homegrown" I ever planted laughing
I read about parenthood and marijuana here and it got my attention.
As a loving father I don't want my kid to do any drugs.
I grow my own marijuana for medical and recreational usage. I will always keep everything out of her sight and in a locked closet.

As I read in this thread "the kid took a marijuana leaf to school" Shook me up!
I haven't gone over the details yet about my marijuana usage and my kid.
As said I don't want her to do any drugs. But if she does take that way, I'd rather have her smoking marijuana then to drink or even worse sniff some cocaine.

I also realize I can't watch her back 24/7 and that kinda worries me. She's still a baby though, but it troubles me sometimes.
I have seen things in life I do not wish her to see.
I can now imagen the fear my parents went through everytime I went out with my "drugbuddies".
And believe me, we've done a lot. Some died.
I really DO NOT want her to meet people like that.

In my pad on drugs I've done chemical substances, but it was nature's substances that hit me the most.
I have had years trouble with beer. I just couldn't keep it with one (not even ten) beer(s).
Then a friend of mine talked about these psychedelics and his spiritual gain from it, and curious as I am, I took them.
That was for me the most intens experience ever.
Beer is no longer in my life, I do occasionally drink wine or wishkey. But not to the drunken silly point I used to get it. Which got me in a lot of trouble.
The mushrooms have changed my life and view on everything. It's such a great experience I had.
But I also read here: if you can grow it is ok?
No no no, I've seen people get really bleeped up after doing datura. So telling them that everything you can grow is ok to do, I don't file in for that.

We all talk about marijuana and kids...
But where does the shroom and cacti comes into this?

Nevertheless, it's great reading you guys and to share my opinion here!

One love!

Barry said character quality's

Completely awesome to read Barry

Cannabis user's always sound like psycologist's. cause we are so in tune with ourselves and surrounding's.

So in the end what. we teach our kids like we should and we would be alright. right?

I mean not telling them that marijuana is better than coke I think is wrong. I don't rob,kill or harm for my fix of cannabis.

I rode the white girl for my whole teenage life and now being mid twentie's there is not a day that goes by that I am not amazed the damage i could of and should of done to myself. I smoked cannabis the whole time and I think that it definatley helped with the recovery process of the habit of doing cocaine.

I don't belive my children or your's should be able to go into a store and legally buy cocaine or meth or ecstacey.

Cannabis is natural. a plant a drug you have to do shit to it. Lets buy coca leaves. pops, and cannabis. let the real druggies weed themselves out and cook it all up.

I don't think anyone ever pushed to allow coke or meth to be sold to children but at least if adults could buy it in a store then there would not be an underground market tying to get kids to deal it.
