Parents: Do you let your kids smoke weed?

It really does sound like irrisponsable parenting and all the people who will say thats crazy who would let thier kids smoke pot. but I agree with you. We were once young and know whats up. Been there, done that right. Myself, I wouldnt condone it to my kids but I wouldnt make a big deal out of it if I did find out my kids were smoking pot. I mean if they want to do it they will find a way and do it no matter what ma and pa say. same with sex. Id rather know they are doing it then have them out doing it behind my back all sneaky. now if its meth or H then im gonna get pissed. Anyway its not my patenting style as full out as you have gone with the rules and allowing it and such, but I do understand where your coming from on this.

Ok I understand everyone has their own opinions but let's be real here...

I am 16 years old and don't smoke pot because I think it's cool, I do it because I enjoy it and I find it fun. Judge me if you would like I can understand. When my parents first caught me with pot they were somewhat lenient. They didn't take my phone they just kept me in the house for a week. They said next time we might consider professional help! IT'S A PLANT!!! But anyway I decided to start smoking cigarettes because their reason for not wanting me to smoke pot was that it was illegal. So you would rather your kids smoke cigarettes which is basically in long term killing yourself than smoking pot because of the illegal factor like it just doesn't make sense. Pot is not that bad I mean out of pot, alcohol, and tobacco pot is scientifically proven to be the healthiest for you. Not saying it's harmless. Just think of this. Would you rather your kid smoke pot or Smoke cigs which will kill them that much quicker?

As a daughter I think it's better for parents to let the kids smoke because is better them knowing then for them to find out and be mad. My mom lets my brother smoke and she told me I can if I wanted all I had to do was tell her or she'd be upset if she found out.

what i wouldn't let him smoke it in the house or at all. I wouldnt let him go over to his friends house or anywhere. if he wants to smoke it anyways outside the house, id let the cops get him and then if no one caught him, i would call the police or send him 2 rehab and 2 years is good time think about what you r doing! drugs. Anyone that does any drugs needs AT LEAST 2 years of prison or rehab. Thats their punishment and its their fault and i would say "I told you so"

Nope.

What makes you think that they will never get in a car with someone who is high? If you know that they are going to smoke marijuana anyway, then that means that they are too easily influenced. You said it yourself, they are incapable of not smoking marijuana. Why?

Its not much different than parents letting their children drink, or smoke tobacco. The biggest factor is the legality issue - there are more risks legally to letting them smoke pot than letting them use alcohol or tobacco. But medically, its safer than the other 2.

My answer as a parent would be "YES, I would!"

I think it's the kind of thing - that you need to let them chose, but only with a full understanding of "what are their reasons" - If they have goals, or things they focus on - this just gets in the way, time, health & money for them. I would just be sad about it rather than mad.

As a parent, I dont see the big deal as long as it doesnt get out of control. Tell them to keep it to themselves and you dont want to see it.

I can't believe how many parents on here are opposed to smacking but have no problem with their children getting high and even condoning it.

What the hell is wrong with you?!!
