You walk the street with a lighter in your pocket..
    #23705807 - 10/04/16 06:06 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)




A fourteen year old kid comes up to you with a smoking device and asks for a light. There is no one around to judge you.

Will you give the kid a light?

Think closely on each question, but not too long to keep your reaction genuine to what you'd do in the situation.

.
The kid has a tobacco cigarette
You may choose only one
The kid has a lil pipe with some weed
You may choose only one
The kid has a one-hitter with DMT
You may choose only one
The kid has a dippy (PCP cigarette)
You may choose only one
The kid has an improvised crack/meth pipe
You may choose only one
The kid wants to smoke heroin off foil
You may choose only one

Where's the option where he's using a vaporizer and you call him a vapist?

I'd give the kid a light in any situation; I've always got a lighter. It ain't my place to judge.

What I would do, that wasn't an option on the poll, is spend as much time as I could talking with him, getting to know him, finding out what his life is like and why he's making the choices he is.

I would only light the DMT one, cause the other ones can be quite addictive, even weeed at a young age is bad (IMHO).


I likely  would have a serious talk with him.

Actually there is. The third option "The serious talk" covers that.

In all cases I went with option 3, yes even heroin. Who am I to judge and I'm not of the opinion that witholding him a light would save him from personal destruction.

The "serious talk" does much more to potentially save a life than the other options, even if you end up giving that light. In fact, if done properly giving the light after "the serious talk" will only fortify your harm reduction message.

When you grow up you learn from the entire world, we as the entire world should not sneak out of our responsibility of providing an educational experience.

I get ya Asante, but included in that option was 'then decide if he gets it'. My thinking is opposite; give him the light regardless, so that he's comfortable and doesn't feel judged, then have a casual, funny, get to know you chat.

I feel the 'serious chat' option would just make me come off like a condescending prick, and I know entirely how I would have reacted to someone coming at me like that when I was 14.

It wholely depends on how you do that talk of course. It has to be respectful and empathic, not "I'm an adult so I know better."

Absolutely not.
Contributing to the delinquency of a minor,
especially at my age, is not an option. :pedobearhide:

I've had HS kids ask me to buy them smokes (or booze) too,
I won't do it, fuck off, find someone else.
20 years ago maybe, not today...:oldman:
40 years ago I'd probably have ripped him off...:hehehe: . . . :peace:

I'd give him a light if he could snatch a pebble from my hand.

That crosses the line for me too. Then you are truly enabling the drug use. Giving a light is a lower degree of severity for me, thats not really enabling especially if you tack a good harm reduction message to it.

I would light it for them, but only if they let me take a hit of their Weed/DMT/Crack/PCP/Meth.

I said no to anything that might make him flip out except dmt. So i sai no to the PCP and the stims. I would talk with him about heroin and tobacco though and warn him about addictions.

14 years old?

No to all of them.

1. Engaging in illegal activity with a minor, which is creepy enough.

2. Risk getting an ass kicking from the parents and be known as the grown man that hangs around and gives drugs to kids.
