[QUOTE="kt4394, post: 688721, member: 20273"] I know a lot of adults who smoke weed regularly and are still able to lead productive lives, but then again I know a few adults who smoke regularly and are not so able. Every person is different. I don't know that I would have a problem with my own son smoking pot if the rest of his world wasn't crumbling all around him. If I didn't see it effecting and ruining the rest of his life (and mine!). With him, I worry about it leading to other, worse things. I think, like alcohol, if used in moderation it's not a horrible thing and I do know that it can help many people with different medical ailments. It's just that line that has gotten blurred. Because of legalization in all the different forms in different states, it has become so mainstream and something that youth are really embracing - too much. It's in the music, the media, their clothing, cell phone cases, and on and on. I think if you saw kids wearing socks with vodka bottles on them, we would be concerned, more than we are by seeing them with clothes with pot leaves. It is the same thing. I hate to be that person (like my own parents) saying that the music is influencing kids and giving kids the wrong idea, but I sort of think it's true. It's just everywhere, making it so hard to fight. There seems to be no other way. It's the lifestyle. I think that's what I object to, not so much marijuana in and of itself. I don't know how we as a society get away from it or control it. I'm just so glad I have this place to rant. Thanks :soapbox: [/QUOTE]
