I can't honestly answer since I have no children.. But so far with what I think and know is... I would sit with them, in a non threatening way of course, and talk to them of how it is illegal and I wont allow it in my home or on the property. I would let them know if I catch them again I will be high disappointed in them. Talk to them of the different kinds there are and how many other drugs can be mixed in to it with out them knowing. To be careful of where the got it and who the got it from. To never drive or have someone drive while on it, to never have it in the vehicle either. Tell them I still love them and if I catch them with any other type of drug I will take them out of this world in flash.  I dont have kids either but if I was in this situation I would be concerned. I would probably lecture them on it and take the pot away from them and smoke it myself  LOL (not that I smoke pot)

id say do what you want when your 18. when you can legaly smoke with your medicinal marijuana card. but if you do it, do it responsibly. share the wealth. and do it for tranquility. be one with the earth by smoking its greenness.
peace love and all that is holy |

I would simply tell them, you get caught I'm not bailing you out and make sure you take care of your responsibilities first

Well, not really sure what I would do to be honest. I don't find pot all that threatening. I don't smoke it myself, but everyone I have known that do smoke it aren't crazed lunitics out driving around killing people.
I think I'd be more concerned if he were out getting drunk with his friends. |

There are far more worse drugs out there. Alcohol being one of them. I don't have children, but when my mom caught me the first time, she told me that she was very dissapointed, and that she herself experimented when she was my age, so to chew me out she would be a hypocrite. She ended by saying "I don't want you drinking or smoking weed...but, if you feel you must do one or the other...i would rather it be pot." |

That's excessive. (All the smileys.) Anyway, I live in Seattle, so if I had a child who was smoking it, I would let them as long as it was at home and not out in public. It's Seattle though, it's basically legal here.

Whatever it takes to get them off, even if I had to handcuff them to me.

I have 3, and I can tell you if the child is already doing the drugs, then they are no more likely to listen to that than Hitler was to a Jewish Rabbi. It would go in one ear and out the other. I would be very threatening to them in every way possible. |

I'm sorry, but being "threatening" or "busting their butt" isn't going to do anything at all. Well it will probably make them HATE you and go out and do it more and more. I mean think about it. Put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel. I would be pissed off if my parents came to me hitting me, threatening me, etc. I would probably not wanna be in that situation anymore.
Anyhow, kids DO listen when you talk to them. But you just have to make sure they trust you and dont have an already resentment towards you. This is just my opinion. Just thinking back on the days of being a nieve teen. |

Just thinking back on the days of being a nieve teen. You got the trust part backwards - resentment if how the child feels because the child knows that he/she has destroyed the parents trust in him/her over and over again. Children often equate parental disappointment with lack of trust. |

I don't have any kids so I'm not quite sure what my reaction would be...my sister on the other hand...just had this happen in her house...she just told her son thats it's illegal...and...that by all means she's not happy...but...at the same time she doesn't want him sneaking around with the possibility of getting caught and arrested...so...she told hime to keep it in doors...in his room...he's 18...

while I would really prefer that my child remain drug free as I have, I would be worried about the things that the pot might be laced with. My mother is a recovering drug addict, she had done alot of drugs before getting pregnant with me. We always talked about this kind of stuff. She kept me well informed and that helped me to make the decision to remain drug free and not give in to peer pressure to try something i didn't really want to try anyways.
Besides who needs pot?? I have video games, it's an addiction but at least I have something to show for the money i spend lol |
