Re: at what age would you let your kids.... [Re: Micawber]
    #14133119 - 03/16/11 07:36 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

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?

possibly the overbearing social stigmas of being a parent. if you do this, you're seen as this. if you do that, you're seen as that. people need to lose the hype.

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.

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.

When they aren't dependent on me. If your old enough to want adult things you should be self sufficient enough to support yourself. Then I will share.

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 :lol:

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.

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...
