Worried About Kids and Marijuana?
Question by Lily: Worried about kids and marijuana?
I’m a single mother of two wonderful teenagers ( a boy and a girl). I’ve tried to give my children the world, send them to best schools and make them productive citizens. My children have never given me any troubles, they get excellent grades and they are involved in sports and activities.
That said Two weeks ago on my sons 16th birthday I took him out to dinner and he was completely “stoned” as my kids call it. When I was a teen I use to smoke a lot of marijuana so it was easy to tell that he was high. I asked him about it and went on to tell me how his sister (my 17 year old daughter) got him high for the first time. I was shocked when he told me so I went to ask my daughter what was going and then everything no mother wants to hear I heard.
My daughter told me that she smokes marijuana daily and that shes been smoking since she was 15. I never knew, she’s never showed any signs of being a “stoner” or have bad friends she doesnt party, shes responsible, i just would never expect it from her. Maybe I just neglected to see signs.
She told me that my son had been trying to smoke for a while and that she promised to let him smoke for the first time on his birthday. I asked her why she was smoking and she told me that lets he see the world in a different light. I asked her to stop and of course she told me she wouldn’t but she said that she would respect my house and not smoke it or bring it around my son.
Well, that didn’t happen I caught both of them smoking in my daughters room last week. My daughter told me she was protecting my son by having him smoke with her rather than random friends of his or people he barely knows. She told me that she doesn’t drink or do any other drug and doesn’t consider marijuana a drug.
I told them that would turn a blind eye to them doing it as long as it wasn’t in my house and from now on they were completely honest with me. But I don’t know my two actually like being “stoned” and coming around me the past couple of days. I guess it’s just hard to see my kids red hazy eyes and seeing them acting like potheads with the munchies and all that.
What should I do? I understand that marijuana is a teenage thing and yes I did it a lot growing up but my kids doing it is bothering me. Am I handling this situation the right way? Any suggestions?

If you let your kids smoke cigarettes, your a dork; but if you let them smock cannabis, your a f*cking dick head and need locking up!
Take then to the doctors to get them rehabilitated, so that they can come off it of without withdrawal affects.

I think you should be a little more concerned about the police ……..if they come into your home because they think you have marijuana in there – CPS will take your children away. You need to stop them using any marijuana in your home and stop them bringing any marijuana into your home. Tell them once they are adults they can do what they wish to but in your home – NO!
