like most people said its a matter of maturity. but id way rather have my kid smoke in a safe environment like a house than out on the streets in some hidden area with 'the chronies'
[QUOTE=The Riddler;28797292]That's why I would make certain, that they do it for the first couple times with me, as a means of gaining their trust. I would even give them bud, so long as I know they can handle it. And you never know, I did my homework stoned in high school and I graduated with a 4.0. What do you think?[/QUOTE] I think I graduated 10th in my class and was a HUGE stoner, but that's beside the point. Kids will always go against what adults want. And I know I'm contradicting myself in my first post saying I'd let them smoke only if they had good grades, but it's really what I'd do. I would just remind them that smoking is a privilege. It's not something you HAVE to do, it's something fun that comes after homework.
If they're under 16 I'd give them serious shit. If they're between 16 and 18 I'd be like "you know, I'm not against it, but don't let it take control, don't become a lazy stoner" and after 18 I'd let them do what they want but obviously still be concerned that they're not just sitting at home smoking weed all day.
I am going to train my child to be highly professional assassin which will forever clean the government of corruption. This means no weed for him. Just kidding, I would let him if he would show me some kind of progress (and not regress) [editline]25th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Pepin;28795186]If I caught them smoking at 16 I would make it clear that I do not approve of smoking in the house and that by smoking weed they are putting me at risk since I am the legal guardian. Also any they'd have to pay any legal fees. Once they turn 18, I would likely charge them rent if they still lived in the house and would kick them out for smoking in the house. The main points would be: don't smoke in the house; don't put me at jeopardy; don't smoke in the house. I am of course a huge hypocrite of what I'm saying because I've always smoked in my parent's house.[/QUOTE] lol charging your own kid at 18, gg, you truly are the jewishes DD I have ever seen...
Nope.
Also ours school principal also smokes (well it's electro/program school anyway)
I'll let my kids smoke weed when they're 14/a freshmen in highschool and I'll pretty much let them do what they want as long as the are respectful and are passing in school. If for whatever reason they're not respectful and they are little assholes I'll kick their ass.
[QUOTE=Budder;28796014]id let my kid smoke so long as he was atleast 14 [editline]25th March 2011[/editline] i'm not gonna be one of those hypocritical 'do as i say not as i do' parents cuz i've lived with mine for 18 years and it's really frustrating[/QUOTE] I believe ive found stayblazed =o I knew he would come back. But anyhow back on post, I started when I was 13 but I think 15 if my kid matured well enough by then would be a good age to introduce him to it or atleast ask if he smokes and stuff. Of course im going to bring him up knowing that he/she can tell me anything that I wont get mad, and if I found that he/she already smoked id totally go ahead and smoke them out the right way. they would be able to smoke in the house or outside as I live in the country and there is actual space between the houses. Atleast C's for school and as long as they respected myself and their mother we would be all good.

It's not something you HAVE to do, it's something fun that comes after homework.[/QUOTE] I agree with a lot of what you're saying, most certainly that it should be treated as a privilege, but why not also treat it as something you can do before homework, to make it more fun? But of course, as a parent, you would obviously establish guidelines, so let's say you saw a significant drop in their grades, then in turn you could take it away? See my parents actually did that with me, when they found out I was blazing, but I never had any major issues with grades... So.
I would wait until they are 15 to let them smoke. I started at 14 (and I'm still 14) but I got caught and had to stop anyway. But yeah like everyone else they'd need good grades. Like if they got a C or below no weed. It also depends what state I lived in, because if the laws were shitty I wouldn't let them smoke until they're outta my house.
[QUOTE=The Riddler;28804923]so let's say you saw a significant drop in their grades, then in turn you could take it away?[/QUOTE] Because once you have a freedom, having it taken away is almost impossible. You will think that freedom is a right. Take away our freedom to buy gum, and I bet you crave the FUCK out of gum. I'd let them test it, but check their homework after to make sure it's still as good. If it's not he can't do it. Never had the freedom, never had to take anything away. Plus, I have a feeling if he's like me, he'll do his homework just fine on drugs.
only after 16, at least Cs, only on weekends, only at our house, their friends would be allowed over if i know them well enough, and only if they aren't little annoying shits.
15 years old minimum, C average.
[QUOTE=Meader;28806780] Plus, I have a feeling if he's like me, he'll do his homework just fine in drugs.[/QUOTE] That's what I'm counting on, honestly.
I'd have them get to at least high school.
16, Cs.
I'd let my kids smoke all they want, as long as they do something constructive of their life, what-ever it is they like.
I'd let them after they have moved out.
If they were younger than 15 and/or failing in school, no
[QUOTE=DaMoggen;28816232]I'd let them after they have moved out.[/QUOTE] If they were moved out you wouldn't have a say in the matter anyway, would you?
I wouldn't introduce it to them, nor would I give it to them. But if they smoked and I found out I wouldn't have a problem with it as long as they didn't let it fuck with their grades and social interaction.
I'd not encourage it, but if they did it, i'd just make sure they know the possible consequences and let decide for themselves whether they wanna continue.
Only after 18.
[QUOTE=cdr248;28817005]Only after 18.[/QUOTE] After 18 it wouldn't even be your decision.
ITT hypocrites Lead by example, not by being a fascist.
[QUOTE=Lenni;28818094]ITT hypocrites Lead by example, not by being a fascist.[/QUOTE] Who are you calling a hypocrite?
Anyone who makes conditions they don't meet themselves. Basically the definition of hipocrisy. Not everyone though. [editline]26th March 2011[/editline] And what the fuck is with the grades, that is by no means a measure of ability or success by itself. How stupid a parent do you have to be to measure your own kids by their grades in school, you should get out of your fucking chair and get to know them. Same goes for the age limit btw [editline]26th March 2011[/editline] I guess I should contribute now that I'm criticizing everyone else. If I had a kid and I thought that any drug use was coming out of their control, I would do 2 things: 1. First, I would offer them help, and make sure they knew help was available any time they wanted it. 2. If they refused help I would (put them in a cage and sink them into a hole of molten lava) take away their privileges to the degree that it wouldn't hurt them more than the drug itself, and it wouldn't involve the use of force. If they don't intend on using their privileges constructively, no matter what the context, then it's a waste of my money.
[QUOTE=Lenni;28822440]Anyone who makes conditions they don't meet themselves. Basically the definition of hipocrisy. Not everyone though.[/QUOTE] Hypocrisy is okay when you're a parent. It's about teaching your kids to do what's right, and sometimes that means telling them they can or can not do something that you yourself may have done. It's about teaching morals and what's right and wrong.
I think it would be funny if i found my kid smoking weed, to go buy half an ounce, and then make them smoke it all at once/until they green out just like people would do when they found their kid smoking.
These are ground rules my parents put down and they worked well for me I don't want to see you smoking or have it come in contact with me. don't get caught don't do it outside where you can get caught do it in a safe enviorment and don't tell anyone you do it besides people you trust
