[QUOTE=NeoSeeker;17132239]i'd be more impressed if they actually did that shit but didn't fuck themselves with it.
if you ever figure out your kids did hard shit and they aren't fucked up from it or still using or addicted at least they probably have really good judgment[/QUOTE]
Either that, or iron willpower.
If I figured out that they were using hard drugs then they're doing something wrong.
i mean like they knew how to use responsibly and understood why, like me in a way :q:
[QUOTE=I Broke The Sun!;17132354]Either that, or iron willpower.[/QUOTE]
I'd vote for this.
but you know what im saying right as bad as that shit is they tried it and they know, in trying it and because they were responsible, they have a healthy respect for it..
if it ever happens to me i'll be convinced i at least did something right.
The way I see it, Marijuana has only ever been a beneficial drug. I'm not saying that it's impossible to abuse, but I have never had any problem with it, and since I have started smoking I have realized the importance of a lot of things in my life that I took for granted before (IE, school, work, family, music).
I would have no problem with my kids using weed recreationally, as long as they are responsible about it and respect the drug. Sitting down to smoke a bowl and watch a movie is far less damaging than, say, drinking keggers and getting into fights.

lol yea. At least you didn't have to learn the hard way.
I'm going to try and raise my kid(s) like my parents raised me. Early on, like the birds and the bees, my parents talked to me about drugs and slowly let it sink into my life. When offers of marijuana came around in high school, I didn't go overboard and waited until I was 17. I never [i]really[/i] got into the harder things (though have tried various others from mushrooms to LSD), mostly because I believe in trying something once if you can walk away from the situation afterwards (nothing too hard, be smart). Instilling the same into my kids, I wouldn't mind If i caught them smoking.
I'd make it clear that grades are important, and so are their goals in life. Smoking is recreational and should be treated as such. Limited time, after work. Other than making the basics clear, I would allow them to smoke after at least 17, maybe light up once or twice when they're in their twenties, but I don't know if I'll be smoking then still.

It's easily the least likely drug to fuck up your life. Have you ever been to a Marijuana Annonymous meeting? It's quite a sad site. I literally had to listen to some guy talk about how he was addicted to marijuana to the point where he was in debt to a lot of people and couldn't do shit, and that he used to worship the marijuana god but now he worships the real god. How pathetic is your will power to have your life fucked up by weed, and not the laws about weed.
i did, just i didnt know until long after.
They have marijuana anonymous meetings? What, are these the social rejects who are too fucking dumb to take control of their own lives? Fucking seriously? If they were on like, heroin or something, that makes sense, but.. What the fucking fuck. I'm not even trying to be mean, but seriously? Marijuana is less habit forming than yanking your dick. These are the types of people who can't accept responsibility for their own actions. I would love to see these guys struggle to get off something mildly addictive, like, breathing.

At least in california. I have no clue man, it's not that hard of a habit to control. Like I said, it's a sad meeting to see. They looked at me like I was the devil, because I said I had to come to meetings because of court. I'd rather go to meetings with people who understand what i'm going through than a whole bunch of self righteous ex-potheads. It was worse than the sob stories at lifering and NA. Atleast they understand that they are weak individuals who cannot control themselves.

I guess everyone has their own bottoms where they understand hard drugs should be respected and not abused.
It's sad that people even go to those AA-esque groups. AA only has a 5% chance of working(Not my statistic, confirmed statistic) of working, the same as individual effort. I wish people would just grow spines and use their will power. That means the most.
The only meetings that really helped me with anything was the lifering meetings. It's a secular meeting which doesn't have them preaching to you about how they have 5 years clean with the help of god, which really only works if you believe in god and hope is a strong emotion in your life. Lifering is a secular meeting which people go around in a circle saying their days clean, how their life/"recovery" is going(how our week is going and shit like that), and there's usually always the same group of people there, with new people coming and leaving. Usually every other meeting there is some guy/girl who comes in telling their life story and how much drugs have fucked up their life, which gets annoying/depressing. There's a ton of diversity in these groups that isn't really in the AA type of groups. It's more of helping yourself personally than a person talking the whole time about how drugs are bad and their life story the whole time. I don't agree that people should do it with their own willpower, it's better to be with people that are sober and going through the same thing you are then just going it alone. Addiction is very hard to get over especially in the beggining, and some of the advice is really helpful. Giving up drugs really is like giving up a whole way of living life, at least to me it was.
It depends on the person, I respect anyone who wants to kick the habbits, and resorts to things besides AA, but for myself.. Not so much. I kicked a heroin and coke addiction myself on my own will power. I'm proud of that.
That's crazy. Heroin is some hard shit,You didn't even go in for withdrawal drugs?
Wow, I miss a day of FP and this thread explodes.
As for the hard drugs, I don't know. Hopefully my children will be well-informed on the dangers of such drugs, and therefore be smart enough to avoid them.

No, I quit on my own. I had my friends around me for 2 weeks straight, so that helped, but no, I did it on my own.

Damn. Most my friends were druggies so I don't think having them around me for 2 weeks would've helped. The only thing that helped in the beggining was being able to smoke weed, after I had to go to chemical dependency my life sucked terribly hard.

If my kids were, I'd tell them to get off of it or i'm going to send them to rehab where they can't even smoke weed anymore.
I'd probably let them if they were 16+. As long as they didn't try meth or any shit like that
[QUOTE=Kyle v2;17095797]I'd make them buy me some good shit for my birthday, father's day, and Christmas...[/QUOTE]
^
i'd rather my kids do a hit of mdma a month than smoke weed every day.
weed fucks your head up and turns you into a boring lazy twat.
not at all
Not really, but I'd be happy to let my kids do MDMA once they're 17-18, provided they're responsible.
16 is okay to smoke weed in the house with me anytime before that I'll be disappointed but i won't really be able to do anything about it anyway. I'd happily let them smoke in the house.
