Me And My Dad Had A Conversation About Weed

Should I let my 15 year old daughter smoke weed?

Sir, or ma’am, first I want to say, it is totally 100% up to you whether YOU are OKAY with her smoking weed. But now I’m going to tell you, you have 100% no control over if she does or doesn’t.I’m 16 y/o now, and started smoking at 14. I’m a bright child, get straight A’s, have a good home life, and am not a bad child.I didn’t ask my mother if I could smoke weed, I knew there was no reason cuz the answer would be no. But I did it anyways. I didn’t do it to run away from my problems, or escape reality, I did it because I wanted to experience weed for myself at least once. but I wanted to do it with friends, and people who would be fun to do it with.Smoking weed does have it’s side-effects, but nothing bad. yeah, once in a while if you smoke too much, you might get paranoid, but I’ll tell you know, too much weed can also make her feel sick to her stomach and make her stop herself before she gets that high. Smoking weed can be so helpful to a person, no matter what age. I have trouble concentrating, anxiety,social anxiety, and insomnia. When I smoke weed in small amounts, I sleep better, and can communicate better, concentrate so much more, especially with school.And who is she smoking with? More than likely friends that care about her. She wouldn’t do it alone unless she was at home or out back in the yard. As long as she is with friends, nothing bad will happen. I’ll tell you now, all stoners look out for other stoners, especially first time smokers! as it’s said, “A stoner never lets a stoner get stoned.” meaning they never let a friend get harmed. they’ll keep her fed, and give her a place to sleep if she is sleep, take her out to do fun things while she is high, and watch her to make sure she doesn’t do stupid shit.In my opinion, let her smoke. At least then, you know she is doing it, and she will be honest with you about it. Smoke with her, so you know what it is like, so you know how she feels. For all you know, you might end up liking the way you feel high, or maybe even realize it helps you in some way.Just remember, you can’t stop her, she is 15. you can only talk to her, and understand.P.S if she is smoking after you said no, and you find out, yelling atop your lungs won’t help at all. I should know. it will make the situation worse. just sit her down and talk to her like a normal person.

What should you do if you caught your son smoking weed?

I found weed in his drawer. I disassembled his pipe and removed the bag and then waited, nonchalantly in his doorway while he searched his drawers.After a few minutes, I said, "Looking for something?"My punishment to him was to watch the 1936 version of Reefer Madness, because I was going to give him a "quiz" at the end.A day later, he told me, "Ok, I watched it. Now What?" and I said, "That's it, that was punishment enough."Oh, and by the way, I dumped the weed and the pieces of paraphrenalia I found. He wasn't 18, he was under my room with my rules, and he broke them.That's the only reason I did that.

How do I handle finding weed on my 14-year-old son?

I don't know where you're from. Legal talk, and the threat of the police only makes things more exciting…. To defy.If you were 14 and got caught with a sack of weed, what would your consequences be? How would you want the situation to be handled?Before sitting down with them to have the talk, draw out a plan and follow the money trail. Once you understand the trail, then have the talk.Chances are you'll scare them if you bring up everything that the drug trade finances. Gangs, guns, prostitution, and other illegal activity, like terrorism.Likewise, it's normal to experiment. It's better to have a kid that is open and honest than to have a kid that defies you and hides behind your back. I'm not saying become an enabler. I'm saying, have some communication and ground rules. If they're going to do it, they're going to do it whether you like it or not. So be real and talk about it. Weed or any drugs is a responsibility that is not to be taken lightly.Why is your kid doing drugs? Maybe you're not providing them with an outlet. Maybe they're bored out of their minds. Maybe you need to be a bit more involved in their lives. Just maybe. Put them in an activity or sports or club, anything they'll enjoy. Find out who these friends of his are, invite their parents over for coffee and have that talk with them too.Nothing worse than getting called in by the cops to meet them at the ER of the nearest hospital because your kid went behind your back because you refused them to smoke weed. I'm not making this up. I was an attending tech when a tiny girl came into the ER, naked, and high and drunk out of her tree. She couldn't even open her eyes or put two words together. The mother was right there in the room with me. The look on her face, that expression is heart breaking.My buddy and I we experimented with weed. But our parents set down some simple ground rules. If we got high we were not allowed to leave the house, not even to walk to the corner store. They gave us money to call for delivery. There was always food available. Here was the kicker, we had to always be decent, respectable, kind, nurturing, caring, loving people. We had to maintain our grades. We had to ensure we got into college. If we broke those rules we were cut off and grounded.We never hid from our parents. We never betrayed that trust. And we grew up to be pretty damn ok.Truthfully, I think the sex talk is a much harder conversation than this.
