If you found out your child smokes cannabis..

i would take their weed until i felt they were old enough to smoke it responsibly, or until they started buying big enough sacks to share.
 
I first smoked at 13-14 and it was a mistake. I think that's a bit to young for most kids, but maturity varies... 16 is the age I would want my child to wait for before committing to doing drugs already.

If you start smoking (in our current system) at 13, you're pretty much bound to be doing harder drugs by 16 simply by exposer to street dealers - something a 15-16 year old shouldn't have access to because, from experience, teenagers are prone to making bad judgement calls. Hell, I am still prone to making poor decisions and I'm much past 13.

I think 16 is far too young and I think allowing your kid (not that you would have any control over it) to smoke at this age is foolish. Personally I think 18 is a much better age, since your brain doesn't usually stop developing until your early twenties. Ideally it would therefore be 22-23 but since we live in the real world, I say 18 is more realistic. No offence intended, I just strongly disagree with you mate.
 
I personally would ask how they got into it and be more realistic. While we can all say if we had children and keep in mind I don't plan to have any you can't say don't do drugs and stay straight. Just sit them down, ask what strain there doing (to find out how strong it is etc) how much they do, and where and who with. Most kids will try something, personally before 18 isn't the best but I started at 16 and I wish I started sooner. I also know friends who have been doing it for years and seem perfectly fine.
And keep in mind as a child I had many anxiety attacks and couldn't do well in school because of this, cannabis helps me with them and I also belive it helped me be at peace with myself and just relax. So it might help the child if they have similar anxiety issues.
 
Woow, why did you steal just to buy weed? I never once thought about stealing from others just to smoke that day. Like I'm sure someones gonna steal money just to smoke weed? I maybe wrong, but like come on? Who does that?

Lots and lots of people do that...
 
Well, I can't predict the future any more than anyone else, but...

I plan on being a disciplinarian. Hopefully draw on my life experiences so any advice will be based on (subjective as it may be) fact.

I do not believe for a moment that weed can ever turn a disciplined child into an undisciplined one. Letting cannabis run your life is weakness. It should only serve to supplement it.

That's what I would hope to reflect in my children. If I found out they were smoking at 13, I would be more concerned about their physical health than their drug habit. I would explain my experiences with weed and tell them everything, no bullshit they need to know.

I first tried heroin when I was 16. Want to know what happened? It was just another visit to a dealer of mine, not my first choice. He casually asked me if i was into anything else, to which I replied with an ambiguous maybe. I had never once consciously sought out any kind of narcotics. The next time i saw him, spurred by the accessibility, I bought a point.
My own addiction is barely under rein.

Gateway, motherfuckers, but only because prohibition has made it so. It would break my heart for that to happen to my son, so I would sure as shit make sure that any stuff he obtained would be obtained from me. I don't want his life to be destroyed just because one day he decided to buy some pot.
 
I think we need legal reform and then not allow minors to smoke. And by minors I mean people that aren't mentally mature to handle it, and know that its for medicinal/recreational uses.
 
I would time it so I could catch him/her doing it in the act and I would get very upset. Start yelling about how it ruins your life and its dangerous and blah blah....then I'll take a rip and hand it back.

But really I'll sit them down and talk about the pros and cons and just try to tell them as much unbiased information about drugs as I could.
 
lol weed is probably the least of your worries. I was more of a drinker/pill popper and in school it was EASY to find anything. I never cared for the old fashion green it just made me stupid, hungry and tired. Even the stuff you can smell a mile away that you cant peal off your fingers. Infact when i started I didnt realize how many people smoked weed and how many of my friends parents did as well. From what I could tell the kids whos parents knew they smoked and did it with them had a better relationship with them than the ones whos parents smoked and tried to cover up that they did and punished them for doing as they do. Also seems that once the kids who were punished and found out their parents smoke, had a not so good relationship with their parents there after.
 
i'd tell him or her about the addiction i had, and for them to be careful. once they get older i'd probably smoke with them though.
 
If I had a child, and If that child was caught with cannabis, I would confiscate all of their weed and paraphernalia. Then simply make use of it, from then on if I was ever low id raid their room.
 
i would kick my daughters ass and tell her she aint fucking up like i did
