Let? There going to do it anyway.
but it really depends on their maturity I guess. 15 or 16 seems reasonable.

dude do you remember how fucking stupid you were when you were 16? I do. For me, as long as my kids are doing well in school and not getting into trouble with the law, then I'm going to let them have a lot of freedom.
I plan to educate my kids about drugs based on my first hand experience, and not let them get their information from public school teachers who don't know what the fuck they're talking about. I hope my kids will make intelligent, informed decisions. That being said, I think 18 is the age where all becomes OK. BF/GF spending the night...? That's a different realm entirely, and as long as they're living under my roof, that's not gonna happen.
I used to sneak my girlfriend into my room basically every night for like 8 months and all we did was fuck and cuddle naked in bed. I seriously don't know how I didn't get her pregnant with the literally hundreds of times we had unprotected sex. Hahaha so no way is my kid gonna be ALLOWED to do that.

I was pretty mature at 16... then again I was pretty mature at 13 though too cause my parents divorced I basically raised myself.
Really depends on the kid. I can think of a couple 15 year olds I'd rather smoke with over 20 year olds.

well no offense that just shows your maturity at the time. I did the same shit at 17 only she was on birth control

They'd probably do them without my permission first, but if it was up to me, when they're already on their "life path", so to speak. Like, when they're already in college, knowing what they want to be doing for the rest of their life.
I love psychedelics and would never deny them to anyone, but I started using them a bit too early.

certainly not at any age where I would suddenly be finacially responsible for a grand baby.
Maybe pot at like 18. Too young is not good in my opinion.

Probably never, Once they are on their own and have everything under control I probably wouldn't mind it. Wouldn't happen under my roof when they are under 18 for sure. I knew a lot of kids where their parents would play the "friend" and let their kids rule the house having parties doing drugs and shit with their parents. I'm glad mine weren't like that. To me thats pretty reckless behavior.

not at all
thing is iv heard alot of people say it would be better cause you can keep an eye on them but there going to do things without your supervision as well so theres realy no gain in saftey
plus i think its important as a parent to maintain that certain line of authority-your there to raise them not be their drinking/smoking buddy so 18 or when thereout of the house

Well yeah, that's my point...that teenagers make dumb ass decisions. Maybe there are some who were put into situations like yours, where they had to raise themselves, therefore maturing much faster than others...but come on. Look at the average high schooler compared to the average undergrad student...there is SO MUCH development that occurs during these years...I feel like weed & shrooms could be VERY damaging to an aging and maturing teenage mind. I took shrooms for the first time when i was 18 and I still feel like I should have waited longer.
Also OP, it sounds like you have a good relationship with your kids, but I am VERY glad my parents didn't allow drugs and promiscuous activity when I was younger. Discipline is GOOD for kids, and I can only imagine what I'd be like now had my parents just not given a fuck

if they handled business (school, job, etc.), i would give them plenty of freedom to do what they want. i would never condone drug use, i just wouldn't reprimand it. also, i probably wouldn't let my kids smoke pot until they were at least 16 just in case to avoid any underlying long-term psychological impairment. also, bf/gf can only spend the night if i have a good standing with said individual. if i don't trust you, you can't sleep in my house. that's that.

Smoke pot WITH them? As long as they're doing OK in school, the first time I catch them.

i was emancipated at 15, so i started allot of shit way too early. honestly, my kid is a.d.d. and it (pot) helps him so much. i know allot of 50 yr old people that i fuckin hate when they are stoned. everyone reacts different, at 15 i gave my boy condoms, we have been very open with stuff like that. as far as girls, as long as i dont hear the nasty goin on, he is a responsible guy, just gotta keep him away from the fuckin loonies he attracts.

Ive been a pot head since my freshman year in high school. My parents motto was always "no no no" they were very overbearing, and it just made me want to do the opposite of everything they said. It also made me hate them (throughout high school).
Now, honestly I have nothing to show for it. I am 25, and I've just had to move back into my parents house because I was fired, and was already behind on rent. I never really thought about my future or anything cause I was ALWAYS stoned. I was fine with working construction and barely getting by, as long as I had pot.
I havent smoked pot for over 6 months now. I am going to classes for my A+ certification (to work on computers) and I already have a position lined up for when I get it. I plan on getting several other certificates when I can afford the classes. I have drawn out a 5 year plan, and I am motivated to achieve my goals.
All of that being said, I would tell my children of my experiences. I would probably let them start smoking pot at around 16, but only in moderation, and only if I think they are ready for it. I think the key is communication. I would give them advice, and not just tell them NO. Tell them life is about balance. I would let them know how important school is, and how much life sucks when you are poor.

I wouldn't be too happy with any of this before 15, but for the most part I'd let them do it at whatever age they talk to me about it. Much rather monitor the situation and make sure my kids are responsible than say "NO" and then have them sneak around and do it anyways.
I really don't know why so many people fail in this regard. Why do people think that because they tell their kids not to do something that they're not going to do it. Have any of you ever been teenagers?

i was a single mom of 3 for 25 years, and i have a very open relationship with my kids. they have been able to tell me anything, good-bad. and yes i grounded my kids when they needed it. took tv away, vid games, but not giving a fuck is not me, when mom was pissed, they knew they fucked-up. one of my kids is the manager of a restaraunt, one is in the air force and the other is a cook. pot was not an every day thing.Quote:

Whats up with everyone saying 18? IS there some magical rule about 18 years of age? Now if your speaking of the laws that involve 18 today. OK. But If there were no laws involving 18 what so ever, would you still say 18? People 18 is a number your government came up with. Doesnt make it right or wrong. They shoved it down your throat though.
sooo.... If my kid was doing good in school.. and was mature... Then yes, id talk about drugs to him, tell him whats up and not give him/her a scare speech. Might even possible smoke with my kid when they are 15+ (getting in to Highschool) If they were truly doing great in school though, i wouldnt even bother introducing them to anything. Why mess with something that is working perfect?
When it comes to girls/guys staying over? absolutely not. Not only because of the laws (which are bs) but because having a kid at a young age today is just stupid. He/she wouldnt even be able to support it.

well I feel like by the age of 18, you've graduated from high school (or are getting close), likely have a job, maybe a car, and real responsibility. There's a lot of responsibility that comes as you age, and I feel like 18 is an appropriate age. Sure it's not like a set in stone number that once you reach you suddenly are mature...but I think by 18 you're old enough to smoke weed...I know that I personally shouldn't have smoked weed before I was around 18-19 years old, so that's what I'm basing my decision off of.

Dude there are some pretty fucking retarded worthless little asshole 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 year olds tho.
I'd HOPE everyone by 18 would have some common sense, but I've been proven wrong SO many times.

OK LIKE I SAID ALREADY I don't think that you are SUDDENLY mature by the time you reach 18...but based off of MY experience, I would let MY kids smoke weed at age 18. Gees

probably no smoking pot until they're 18 or so. Or when they move out of my house (if they dont go away to school at 18 they'd probably have to wait to do it in my house till they're 23 or so. Unless they're in school living at home.)
shrooming probably 16. if you ask me thats when kids should take shrooms. If they react to them anything like I did it'll probably give them some direction.
Probably around 20 is when I'd let em have girls (or boys) spend the night. But I'll push condoms really hard on them. Condoms are so important. There'll probably be a communal condom drawer in our house at around age 15. But I'll probably leave it open "accidentally" when they're 15 so they know its there but I wont be endorsing the behavior. And if I notice some are getting used I'll probably sit em down and tell em its fine and thats what they're there for if they ever need any.
I really REALLY would hate to have grandkids when my kids are under 23 or so

I honestly would rather my kid be like "Hey dad I tried smoking weed..." I'd blow up and be all like "YOU WHAT YOU MOTHER FUCKER? YOU SMOKED IT?! SMOKING IS BAD MMKAY HERE IS THIS BROWNIE SAVE YO LUNGS BOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIII"
Yea I'm positive it'll go just like that lol
As far as I'm concerned if you let your kid drink soda or coffee, why can't they drink some pot tea? Less harmful.

when the time comes, they will already be doing it. so you're not really "letting" them do anything

it depends how they are doing it. i would almost INSIST that their first trip be with me or my spouse. around 15 or 16, i agree. as far as weed? i would much rather they wait till 17 or 18 because i think it can become a bad habit way too quickly and also in highschool can lead to the "wrong crowd" as opposed to how "everyone" smokes in college... have a bf or gf spend the night? if they like them and they're dating (not random people) whenever i guess. i mean yeah 17 or something. that is not a big concern because its not as harmful as a bad trip or a bad addiction can be...

Another thing i never thought of... We are all familiar with drugs.. right? well i knew alot of kids, still know alot of adults that never did and still havent done anything past drinking a beer.
My thought is asking the question..
Do you feel the need to introduce your kids to anything? I mean.. What if he/she is the one that doesnt care for anything that alters the mind, or is to afraid of it.. and is making straight A's.. Why would you even mess with showing them a substance??

I fucking would
I'd rather I show my kids about drugs than some fuck up schizophrenic on the street. That could be the difference between having a healthy, safe introduction into psychedelics, or taking a thumbprint on the first time
I've never heard of it happen, but it's an example of the dangers you face not educating your kids properly

i dont think any kids should be introduced to drugs, but my kids knew what they were. not from me, school is where kids have the first glimps of the users. talking to your kids is the most important thing you can do. (TO your kids, not AT them)

Oh I know, that's not what I'm arguing.
I'm just saying you do run the risk. Why risk it when you're informed enough to handle it?

i guess i would not tell them too much or paint it in any kind of positive or negative light... but rather like the "sex talk" inform them and open the lines of communication so if they do lean into the kids-who-smoke-and-do-drugs category, you will know about it and can guide them.

There is no set age. It's when they can handle it responsibly weather that's 14 like me or 19.
