How to get kids to stop smoking weed: Give them weed and show them a horror movie.
My father caught my smoking weed at the back of the house at 16 after I had finished a shift at 0300 glass collecting in a local nightclub. He looked pissed and said we’ll talk in the morning. The next morning he sat me down and said he smoked weed until I was three years old.
His advice was.
“smoking weed is fun and can help you relax but you must always remember that there’s more to life and weed may stop you from seeing that, stop you from doing the important things in life, so don’t let it become your entire personality.”Seems like a good dad. I’m a line cook so I used to smoke a lot. I’ve cut WAY back and am definitely enjoying shit more now. Nothing against people who smoke a lot, it was just a bit too much for me.
It’s pretty pervasive in the restaurant industry. I had a chef who asked me to help him move his Hobart mixer back to his house. Damn thing weighed around 200 lbs, and hauling it into the bed of my truck was a pain in the ass. When we get it back to his house, he proceeds to light up a bong, offer me a hit (I declined, never smoke and drive) and then he decided to pay me in a ton of weed he had grown.
Yeah, you can’t trust those Venture Capitalists
I’ve started calling them Vulture Capitalists
I don’t honestly remember getting a drug talk (besides the DARE) program.
I do remember being taken to 3 separate third party sex talk plus a bunch of it in church at many different ages.
Man what a brainwashing our folks did to us.
“Drugs are bad because I tried all of them and they were bad” my father said. I don’t doubt he tried some, but he was also a teller of tales.
Mother said not to do them because they are deceptively kind. She’s come around on weed being less worse than alcohol.
My mother told me not to do any illegal drugs because if she ever had to bail my ass out of jail, she’d’ve been pissed.
I’d like to say it worked, but honestly, I’ve just never had the interest.
I’ve never done any drugs that were illegal at the time of consumption. The state of nj says weed is legal, so who am I to argue, I’m not the overarching government!
My advice wait till your like 70 then try them all.
If I make it to 70 and I’ve still got connects I’m gonna finally get addicted to speedballs.
Extacy and LSD are a surprisingly good combo, especially for a well supervised nature hike. You need about 1 babysitter for every 3-4 tripping people, but they can smoke weed to help pass the time. Don’t drink. The tripping people will inevitably want some, and those two drugs frequently don’t play nice with alcohol.
My favorite is mushrooms and DMT. I don’t like acid very much but I’d love to try X.
“Drugs are bad, m’kay?”
Sorry, I’m binging South Park right now and the way you started your comment made me read the whole thing in Mr. Mackey’s voice.
average venture capitalist
My preschool drug talk was ‘Here, puff on this’…
Not even joking. The very first word I remember is joint.
People really underestimate how many parents make their kids do drugs. Even for stupid reasons like they want someone to get high with.
Wtf kinda society you live in?
The real world
Then “more often than you’d like” surely boils down to a couple ppm instead of never, right? … right?
Unfortunately, no. And it’s not always weed.
My SO worked in youth addiction counseling, and it’s pretty rough.
That’s anecdotal evidence and doesn’t tell us anything about its prevalence on a bigger scale.

Not far from that here too, I could roll perfect joints before I was 10, never smoked anything myself until I was 20 though, and have since stopped.
Do you still consume cannabis?
No sir FBI agent!
Man we could have federally legal weed.
It won’t happen anytime soon with the Republicans in charge
Didn’t happen with democrats will never happen with Republicans. We’re fucked until we get rid of corporate lobbying.
As bad as democrats are, this is definitely an issue where they would have delivered. There’s enough states where it’s legal, has popular support, and it doesn’t cost money, actually it makes money in taxes.
Plus, there is someone to lobby for it, unlike universal Healthcare…
Fell asleep smoking Vietnam era weed. Doubt. Weed laced with opium perhaps.
