My main point is not whether or not doing it is okay or safe. it's that how it's dealt with is important. throwing a kid in rehab and taking everything they have because they experimented or smoked sometimes can lead to a worse path than being a pot head. immediate harsh consequences have shown me nothing but negative results, and more harmful drugs than marijuana. talking and asking why is so much more effective if you actually care about your child. if it's not necessary to put them through the embarrassment and humiliation of rehab, why do it? connecting is, in my eyes, a viable remedy. relating to one another and developing mutual respect and trust is more beneficial to both parties than getting in a shouting match or trying to prove who's stick is bigger.

[QUOTE="hcs712, post: 601473, member: 16595"] My main point is not whether or not doing it is okay or safe. it's that how it's dealt with is important. throwing a kid in rehab and taking everything they have because they experimented or smoked sometimes can lead to a worse path than being a pot head. immediate harsh consequences have shown me nothing but negative results, and more harmful drugs than marijuana. talking and asking why is so much more effective if you actually care about your child. if it's not necessary to put them through the embarrassment and humiliation of rehab, why do it? connecting is, in my eyes, a viable remedy. relating to one another and developing mutual respect and trust is more beneficial to both parties than getting in a shouting match or trying to prove who's stick is bigger.
