This calls for cleaning your bong, GreatestDad#1.

Uh, and to teach blazing responsibly.

Rubbing alcohol, big grain salt, dish soap, if anyone's piece is more of an oil lantern than a pipe right now.

What about the famous detergent called "Schmand Weg"? It makes the Schmand go away.

"that better not be my weed you're smoking kid"

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago (2 children)

My dad got me weed because I wanted to try it for fun, and he was in the netherlands anyway.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Better a healthy strain picked by someone who cares about you than whatever the local exploiter is selling.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Some of those strains are nothing but gateways to a hard lifestyle. Ever heard of green crack? Lost two friends to that sativa.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Well now I have friends who bake and vape anyway, so ... no shortages there.

Edit: And, of course, grow themselves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

My dad illegally smuggled weed over the border from the Netherlands against my advice.
He's 79.

Some parents are completely oblivious about there kids behavior. The kid will be a drug dealer and the parents are like "they are the most innocent kid."

On the flip side I have seen parents who are convinced that there kid is doing all sorts of stuff. In reality the kid is a completely clean slate.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Being so out of touch with your kid is one of the main ways to create attention seeking behaviour. Not the only way, of course, but it's still generally a bad idea to have no relationship with your kids.

My parents knew exactly what we were up to, and in most cases, our first time experimenting with anything like that was supervised by our parents. They wanted to make sure we knew what we were getting into and how to be safe despite taking risks like that. They didn't really have to worry about me, I'm Autistic and have no interest in drinking or smoking anything, but my older brother and the older of my younger sisters very much partook in any of the safer recreational substances. One advantage of talking with your kids about this stuff is that when you warn them which ones are actually the problem, they have no reason not to trust your advice. There are some "not even once" drugs. There are some "you gotta try it once" drugs, and there are some "it's not a good way to spend your money, but otherwise fun" drugs.

Me personally, drug of choice is videogames. Way cheaper high. Though it can be habit forming, make sure it never feels like a priority over doing real-life stuff.

Obviously they meant "oblivious"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Isn't it oblivious?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Honestly if they're a good student and otherwise aren't a troublemaker, I didn't see nothing.

Until they turn 18, then pass that shit son.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Unfortunately cannabis use does impact a developing brain so its best to wait as long as possible, ideally 25, but that's not realistic.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You make a good point, but I would much rather have them doing that than drinking. That harms a developing brain and has a bunch of other shitty side effects.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Oh no argument there. Cannabis over nicotine too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (4 children)

No one's getting out of here intact and alive.

Don't run in front of any buses, but when hit with a statement of overcaution, I usually blurt out "you're right, we should all sit in the corner of an empty padded room, eat saltines, and wait patiently for a safe death."

Beyond the point of being a good student, excess intellect at this stage of civilization is more curse than blessing.

A strawman

I think this one might be made of tightly bound dried hemp. 🤔

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

How is it a strawman? Even the person I replied to said it isn't realistic to follow the letter of the overcaution.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

it's not realistic to not smoke weed until later in life?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

It's not realistic or even reasonable to avoid all pleasurable activities that come with risks, which weed falls under, until an entire third of your life is over, no.

We let people under 25 play contact sports, drink alcohol, and consume large quantities of sugar, all indulgences potentially more detrimental to the body than Marijuana.

Look at all the research on contact sports and the massive risks they bring, it's weird to me those are still legal for kids.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Ah, so we allow lots of other detrimental and dangerous things, so we shouldn't be so persnickety about this either. That's what you're saying. We should overindulge, not be overcautious.

Mayhaps if people were less of a bitch about it, it would be realistic and reasonable.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah. It's carved to be vilified, which is hypocritical not just because there are other equivalent harms we allow young people to pursue for pleasure, there are several considerably more harmful harms we allow young people to pursue for pleasure.

All because an old newspaper magnate's paper pulp business interests were threatened by hemp and it became tradition.

You can cause severe brain damage and kill people with alcohol, tobacco, and concussions. The studies I've seen about Marijuana in teens handwring over <5 IQ points with chronic use.

It's inconsistent to the extreme.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

My intent was not to vilify weed. In fact, if I hadn't found it before 25 I probably wouldn't have even made it to 25. If you know what I mean.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I understand intimately, my friend!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Cumulative head injuries will harm a brain far worse than cannabis.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

It can be, but it's not realistic to expect everyone will. Especially 'til 25. Of course some people never try it. But someone who's interested isn't likely to wait that long.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Just spreading knowledge. Not everyone lives somewhere where it's legal and that info is printed on the package. I didn't hold out til 25 but I am glad I waited longer than many of my friends did.

And I'm not sure it's impacting intellect or more emotional regulation type stuff. Either way, I'm not saying it's even possible to stop your teen from trying it if they want to, but I'd rather they be informed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well, I ran in front of a bus and I'm still alive, so running in front of buses can't be that dangerous, hey? Don't be so overcautious!

Everything in life has risks and you have to weigh the potential risk vs. the potential benefit. Granted, if smoking weed is the most dangerous thing that you do as a child, you'll be very lucky.

Beyond the point of being a good student, excess intellect at this stage of civilization is more curse than blessing.

Considering how many people are still ignoring the climate crisis, we need every bit of intelligence we can get. It's the only thing that will determine whether or not we survive as a species.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I started at age 20, but apparently that's a rarity. Everyone else I know started in high school.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Yo short stuff; you can't be smokin the stickey-icky in my house and not sharing... That's just rude
