Would you be okay with your 15 yr. old Daughter smoking weed, DG?

There are things that me and you can do, that will cause us no harm, because we will not succumb to the negative aspects therein. But there are some people, who will view our own 'immunity' from said negative forces, as a personal license to indulge their own (perhaps inability) license to indulge. And they will be negatively affected.

The Good Book calls this "casting a stumbling block in the path of the weaker brethren". Not saying any person who is inclined to accept a civic responsibility burden is superior, other than serving their own personal conscience. Just saying that there are some things that a parent can do - and endorse - and there are things that they should no do (endorse)...for love's sake.

I don't smoke any more; but sure don't begrudge someone who does. Lord knows I enjoyed more than my share; and honestly, learned/saw 'abstract' things that I would otherwise not be able to 'see'.

Whatever.

I have a 15 yr old son and no I’m not ok with him smoking weed, but I can handle talking to him about it like a parent though. And keeping it illegal does absolutely nothing to stop them from acquiring it, and honestly might even make it easier.

Stopped taking you serious right there.

No.

Thats not the question. Alcohol isn't legal for 15 year olds either. I think we can do better than that line at the very least.
