Drinking.

I don't have kids but I will let them drink in high school as long as they don't drive.

Don't care if they smoke a little pot but I won't smoke a bowl with my kid.

smoking. Won't lead to as many dumb decisions.

Drinking.

Marijuana is an illegal substance.

likely pot in most situations. Less of a hazard while driving and much less chance of making very poor decisions.

Drinking, cause that's what I did when I was a kid.

I don't want him to OD on marijuana

Probably drinking. I wouldn't be bent out of shape about either. I realize drinking in many ways is worse for you, but I think I'd still worry more about him getting into harder stuff or legal trouble if he was smoking pot in high school. Maybe it's because I have a drink most days myself but hardly ever smoke pot.

Drinking, because I let my kids drink at home as seniors in HS. I discouraged weed since it is illegal and could get them in more trouble.

Drinking. He'd be underage but at least it's not an illegal substance. The later would look worse on a job application.

If your child is a senior in HS and doesn't drink you raised a fricking nerd. If that would be a big deal to you lol.

Having two kids in high school, the proliferation of pot in the public high schools is complete. It is easier to get than alcohol.

Both are chemicals that effect brain chemistry and can have adverse effects on developing kids. I'd rather my kids didn't do either of them, but I'm not naive enough to think that they won't. If I had to pick, I think it'd be pot, but in moderation.

Both should be legal after 18.

With that said I would be more pissed at the weed than alcohol only because the penalties for one are much greater than the other.

In truthfulness I plan to bring my children as often as possible out of the country to get them used to drinking responsibly. It's a pity the current system doesn't allow this.

And in will fly the marijuana buzzards who have nothing better to do than swoop around all day and bite at people who don't like weed.

I have no children that I am aware of, but in the distant future if I end up reproducing I would far and away rather catch my hypothetical spawn stealing beers from the fridge. There will be no weed in my house, not because I give a shite about what grown adults like to do in their spare time but because I think it's nasty.
