What I don't understand as far as most people saying this is wrong is that people are always representing marijuana as an incredibly positive thing. Don't see why the same people would think there are age restrictions.

Man.. I am a sorcerer... and that is very rare concidering my age..
I think MJ makes you know yourself better.. you will encounter bumps in the road.. and they will knock you down.. but I will die with a big smile on my face.. I cannot imagine anything altering my life more than MJ. I was such a disgrace to hummanity before.. MJ helped me realize how fucked up I were.. It is something I would do again and again, even though I know how much pain it caused me.. the truth is a pain.. or so i have heard.
I guess it depends what you seek.. a stoned kid will grow faster and develop their wisdom.. though they will be a faliure to society.. most likely... I got all top grades in school, though I dropped out just the same when I realized how much brainwash there were... how manipulative society were.. I became truly mad, but I stopped being insane, as is most people today..
edit: I never smoked every day though... I would go up to half a year between..

I don't see marijuana as harmless. When a young teen starts smoking everyday all day they usually don't get the social interaction and life experiences non-smokers get at that age.

Sounds like personality. You said he was exposed to hard drugs -- at least the lifestyle -- at an early age, right?
I mean I guess if you want to call it that. Their older brothers were Blue collar tweakers themselves. They're complete fuckups. But the brother that stayed clean never fucked up so. I'd figure I'd throw that out there for the record, don't let your kids tweak.

Do you know anyone that did do drugs when they were too young and didn't get always get in trouble at school and with the law? I only know of a couple of people who were exposed to drugs at an earily age (not as young as 6 - 11 but somewhere between 12 - 14) and they always got in trouble at school. Actually the majority of them dropped out of high school before the age of 16 (which is actually against the law from where I'm from).
I didn't know anyone who was exposed to drugs at an earily age and was also never getting into trouble, but maybe there could have been somebody that was like this and they just kept the drug stuff a secret although I think that it's very unlikely that such a thing happened
That doesn't really demonstrate cause and effect though. Early exposure to drugs may not be what causes them to get into other trouble, it could be instead that some other factor (e.g. bad parenting) makes them more likely both to try drugs early and to get into other trouble.

Uhm, children that are given medical marijuana are given strains that are very very low in THC levels. In other words, they don't get high. (See the story that inspired the Charlotte's Web strain, almost nonexistent THC levels)

Exactly. Why would you even give your own kids drugs, even IF they didn't turn into troublemakers (and that's a pretty big IF), all they would have to do is blab to ONE person about how they're being given drugs by you (which you KNOW is going to happen because kids always blab), and you risk getting all your children taken away from you. Why on earth would you even risk that if you loved your children?

Some days ago I got a PM where a young user likened me to "The Shroomery Dad", the kind thats cool with drugs but goes out of his way to keep everyone safe regardless of their attitude.
At 41 I might well be, and I found it actually rather flattering

I honestly think its a bit fucked up giving kids weed before they are of an age to decide if they want to smoke themselves.
The brain doesn't fully develop for men until around age 25, and I'm already smoking wayy before that time

I wouldn't pass a joint to anyone under 18, marijuana can't affect brain development if taken at a young age. I wouldn't feel good about it.

Personally I always thought that LDS came off as being about that age. Same with sVs but he turned out to be in his mid 20's I think.
