Lol we give em sips of wine for communion and most kids have seen their parents falling down drunk by that age. You gonna hide beer cans at the grocery store also?
An 8yo can look at one marijuana and go on to live a perfectly fruitful life, I promise
As a Marijuana user and a father of young kids, I am aware that drugs and alcohol affect brain development.
Just because it's cool and funny doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Hurts nobody. Completely legal plant in half the country. Kid might as well have found a can of beer.
Our communities have more to fear from the people who use "what about the children!?1!" as their basis for what constitutes good vs bad, than we do from some plant based medicine being left around as literal easter eggs
Yeah well I don't let my kids take any sort of medicine on their own.
You guys have been fighting society on this issue so long you are forgetting there is nuance.
Unless your 8 year old knows how to smoke weed, or decarb it, and cook it into fats, that weed isn't going to do anything to them. Like literally.
It depends on where you are but that's not appropriate where I'm from
i grew up in a society where children thought a single sip of beer made you an alcoholic. what's appropriate, what's safe, and what's legal are very different things.
I'd hate to live there. I couldn't imagine having to Old Yeller my kids because they saw some wild marijuana growing in the woods or something...
