I don't think it's a good idea.
But would I think a friend was so out of line that they sickened me over it? nah...
(I have 2 sons: 16 and 19)

I know a lot of people that would give their kids a beer or glass of wine at that age without the social stigma and venom that is about to be spewed in this thread...
just kinda sickens me.....
when/if i become a parent and the day comes when i light up some illegal drugs to smoke with my 17 year old daughter.....
i hope to god someone takes a fucking baseball bat to my head.....because i would fucking deserve it.....

Deal
I'm not a parent Speedy, but I struggle when my niece comes outside to talk to me or be around me when I'm smoking cigarettes. I don't want her anywhere near me when I'm smoking but I don't want to make a big deal out of it either, which could backfire making it seem mysterious and cool to her. A problem that is becoming a reality because her Nana gives her lolly cigarettes and even make believe lights them for her. :mad:
I also had a friend who had no problem buying her 16 teenage son alcohol, including a slab for his 17th birthday. She has no problem with him drinking as long as he's home and he doesn't drive. I spent one evening at a party at their house and after seeing how there is no effort to stop him drinking underage and there was even encouragement to a degree, I have to say I'm still feeling guilty for just being at the party and getting drunk myself in his presence and I'm not the parent. I can't then see me ever wishing to smoke MJ with my niece or anybody else that is underage, and I certainly wouldn't be encouraging it but it would depend on the circumstances, like whether or not I knew the age of the people I was smoking with.

Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
It's sort of like having sex with your 1st cousin, some do it but it's just not a very good idea. Something just not right about doing that.
There's no age limit on it either, I could be 60 and daughter could be 30 I STILL wouldn't do it. At that stage I would be thinking of the grandchildren.
I hope it all works out for ya.
Peace

That's a good point. I found out one of my parents was hiding mj use from me when I was about 16, after years of being lectured against it. It made me more rebellious and curious about drugs in general. I have two kids and I struggle with how to deal with this when they get older.
Later in life (mid-20's) this parent finally admitted it and pulled one out for us to share... I see it as no different than having a couple drinks while enjoying each other's company.
fuck no.

parents are supposed to be role models. under no circumstances would i ever considered this to be acceptable.
what a shame.
i feel sorry for the kid.
I would never smoke with my child. I used to smoke with my mom when I was 18 or so and I have a friend or 2 that their parents did the same thing and they have the best relationships. I have never seen parent and son more close. But I would not smoke with my kid......well if he was 30 or so and said hey dad lets smoke a fattie and then I may. Just because its lillegal dosnt mean it wrong or bad.
I agree.
whats the difference?
and for the record, it is a bad idea to smoke weed with your teen child
but again, what is the difference between smoking a join or drinking a beer with them?
because marijuana is an illegal substance. big difference.
why anyone would ever feel the need to smoke a joint with or in front of their child i'll never know. its just plain wrong.
My kid has seen me drunk maybe twice in his life. The people I know who smoke pot quite often don't stop at one hit. Most people I know smoke to get stoned. There's a big difference between enjoying a beer or glass of wine for the flavor and drinking to get drunk.

Illegality for one. And the ritual of rolling it, it's not like beer which you pull out and open, it's a more elaborate procedure.
Also, after one joint I'd be stoned (and my kid as well I guess) which would not be the case with the beer.
I think the major problem would be getting stoned with my kid, having a beer or two sure, getting us drunk... not till his wedding.

A year or so later, it's up to the individual.
edited to add: I also disagree with drinking with kids under the age of 18, for what it's worth.
Also, to say that one beer with an underage kid is ok, but a joint is not because of intoxication levels is generally incorrect.
I'd argue that a glass of wine or one or two beers in a person that is inexperienced with alcohol (and probably has little tolerance) is as impairing as smoking an average joint between two or three people...probably with LESS damage to their bodies and brains.
I don't have them handy at the moment, but I have posted links in the past showing that people are generally "stoned" for 20-30 minutes, then have a slight buzz for about 2-3 hours. Which I would think would be the same effect a fair sized glass of wine or a beer or two would have on a young person....
what has that got to do with sense? are you saying that anyone who has ever taken a puff of weed is automatically totally incapable of any sensible decisions?
IMO.
