[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 725395, member: 1550"] I look at it this way. Most adults drink. As long as the drinking doesn't affect their ability to function it's none of my business, even if its my own adult child. If they smoke pot, hopefully not every day, but if they do it every day and they work, live on their own and don't ask for money from us...and it is legal in many places...i would not ruin my relationship with my adult child over pot. The problem is when they don't adult because of pot' s affects. And sometimes it is more than just pot. There are people who have disabilities and have trouble adulting with or without pot. But in my house, the rules are my rules. They do not always coincide with the state and federal laws. My house is MY castle. Nobody smokes anything in my house, legal or illegal. I don't want smoke in my space and this applies to friends and all relatives. It is respectful for all to follow our rules in our home. But....back to the topic....I personally would not get involved in the pot smoking life of a successfully adulting adult. My point of view is that it only becomes my business if it involves me. If they smoke pot and come to me for help with life, then they just made it my business. The part about how mj won't work for them later if they get cancer....that is a consequence. Tell them and I doubt it will make them quit, but at least they are aware. Face it, knowing about cancer didn't stop some from cigarettes. When young, you don't tend to worry about illness.
