This calls for cleaning your bong, GreatestDad#1.
Uh, and to teach blazing responsibly.
Rubbing alcohol, big grain salt, dish soap, if anyone’s piece is more of an oil lantern than a pipe right now.
What about the famous detergent called “Schmand Weg”? It makes the Schmand go away.
EXCELLENT!
“that better not be my weed you’re smoking kid”
My dad got me weed because I wanted to try it for fun, and he was in the netherlands anyway.
Better a healthy strain picked by someone who cares about you than whatever the local exploiter is selling.
Some of those strains are nothing but gateways to a hard lifestyle. Ever heard of green crack? Lost two friends to that sativa.
Well now I have friends who bake and vape anyway, so … no shortages there.
Edit: And, of course, grow themselves.
My dad illegally smuggled weed over the border from the Netherlands against my advice.
He’s 79.
Some parents are completely oblivious about there kids behavior. The kid will be a drug dealer and the parents are like “they are the most innocent kid.”
On the flip side I have seen parents who are convinced that there kid is doing all sorts of stuff. In reality the kid is a completely clean slate.
Being so out of touch with your kid is one of the main ways to create attention seeking behaviour. Not the only way, of course, but it’s still generally a bad idea to have no relationship with your kids.
My parents knew exactly what we were up to, and in most cases, our first time experimenting with anything like that was supervised by our parents. They wanted to make sure we knew what we were getting into and how to be safe despite taking risks like that. They didn’t really have to worry about me, I’m Autistic and have no interest in drinking or smoking anything, but my older brother and the older of my younger sisters very much partook in any of the safer recreational substances. One advantage of talking with your kids about this stuff is that when you warn them which ones are actually the problem, they have no reason not to trust your advice. There are some “not even once” drugs. There are some “you gotta try it once” drugs, and there are some “it’s not a good way to spend your money, but otherwise fun” drugs.
Me personally, drug of choice is videogames. Way cheaper high. Though it can be habit forming, make sure it never feels like a priority over doing real-life stuff.
It can be really dangerous for people under 21 due to the brain still developing. It can lead to serious addiction issues which lead to no good. It is very easy to start but extremely hard to quit.
I think it is reasonable for parents to allow certain substances in there own home. However, it should not include any nicotine products and it can’t be in higher frequent doses. A lot of these companies target youth to get them addicted young. We don’t need to encourage the behavior.
Yeah, part of it was that smoking cigarettes was absolutely off the table. Almost no upside, all downside. And we were kids long before vapes was a thing, but that would certainly have fallen under the same umbrella. They were both addicted to nicotine for decades and could definitely attest to how hard it was to quit. They both did eventually manage, but it was pretty obvious how big of a deal it was for them, with alot of failed attempts.
Weed is for sure not a great idea for teens, but that wasn’t known at the time. And part of it not being taboo meant that none of us ended up being habitual anyway. But yeah, certainly had they known that at the time it would have been added to the con list for it.
Obvious or oblivious?
Obviously they meant “oblivious”
Obliviously they meant obvious
Oblivious or obvious?
Isn’t it oblivious?
Honestly if they’re a good student and otherwise aren’t a troublemaker, I didn’t see nothing.
Until they turn 18, then pass that shit son.
Unfortunately cannabis use does impact a developing brain so its best to wait as long as possible, ideally 25, but that’s not realistic.
You make a good point, but I would much rather have them doing that than drinking. That harms a developing brain and has a bunch of other shitty side effects.
Oh no argument there. Cannabis over nicotine too.
No one’s getting out of here intact and alive.
Don’t run in front of any buses, but when hit with a statement of overcaution, I usually blurt out “you’re right, we should all sit in the corner of an empty padded room, eat saltines, and wait patiently for a safe death.”
Beyond the point of being a good student, excess intellect at this stage of civilization is more curse than blessing.
Ah yes
A strawman
A strawman
I think this one might be made of tightly bound dried hemp. 🤔
How is it a strawman? Even the person I replied to said it isn’t realistic to follow the letter of the overcaution.
it’s not realistic to not smoke weed until later in life?
It’s not realistic or even reasonable to avoid all pleasurable activities that come with risks, which weed falls under, until an entire third of your life is over, no.
We let people under 25 play contact sports, drink alcohol, and consume large quantities of sugar, all indulgences potentially more detrimental to the body than Marijuana.
Look at all the research on contact sports and the massive risks they bring, it’s weird to me those are still legal for kids.
Ah, so we allow lots of other detrimental and dangerous things, so we shouldn’t be so persnickety about this either. That’s what you’re saying. We should overindulge, not be overcautious.
Mayhaps if people were less of a removed about it, it would be realistic and reasonable.
It can be, but it’s not realistic to expect everyone will. Especially 'til 25. Of course some people never try it. But someone who’s interested isn’t likely to wait that long.
Just spreading knowledge. Not everyone lives somewhere where it’s legal and that info is printed on the package. I didn’t hold out til 25 but I am glad I waited longer than many of my friends did.
And I’m not sure it’s impacting intellect or more emotional regulation type stuff. Either way, I’m not saying it’s even possible to stop your teen from trying it if they want to, but I’d rather they be informed.
Well, I ran in front of a bus and I’m still alive, so running in front of buses can’t be that dangerous, hey? Don’t be so overcautious!
Everything in life has risks and you have to weigh the potential risk vs. the potential benefit. Granted, if smoking weed is the most dangerous thing that you do as a child, you’ll be very lucky.
Beyond the point of being a good student, excess intellect at this stage of civilization is more curse than blessing.
Considering how many people are still ignoring the climate crisis, we need every bit of intelligence we can get. It’s the only thing that will determine whether or not we survive as a species.
