s/o poll - pot vs alcohol
MH and I had a discussion a few weeks ago about whether we would rather our son smoke pot as a high schooler or drink alcohol. It was an interesting talk. WDYT?
[poll]
Re: s/o poll - pot vs alcohol
i had a reading comprehension fail and accidentally voted for pot.. b/c i thought we were voting about what we would RATHER find our kid doing.
i would rather them smoke than drink... for sure.
I agree. Clearly, I'd rather him not be doing either, but I feel like there are fewer dangers with pot than with alcohol
I figured he's be more likely to drink himself to death than to smoke himself to death. Especially since HSers are likely drinking to get shitfaced.
I did the exact same thing. I would personally rather come home and find him laying on the ground watching cartoons and laughing like a maniac then throwing up on my front steps.
I think I'd prefer weed. I never heard of a kid in my high school dying b/c of weed. However, I remember quite a handful that died b/c they were drinking/driving/binge drinking.
And I don't think weed makes you lazy. I have quite a few professional clients that partake and they make more money in a month than we do all year, lol.
I acted much dumber and am more embarrassed by what I have done drunk than by what I've done while high.
I just think kids are much more dangerous to themselves and others while drunk.
ETA: adults too.
Hand up for voting wrong. I'd like to see the stats on how many people who voted incorrectly are smoking the wheezy.
I voted, but I feel like a special snowflake.
I would rather my teen be involved in occasional pot than occasional alcohol, but I would also rather they not smoke it. I mean, they could bake it into a brownie and eat it or something for the sake of their lungs.
Ya this was me.
*blush*
I voted wrong, too.
I haven't had the chance to partake for several months, so I have no excuse.
My answer would be different if I lived outside of CA, though. I think cops are more likely to bust my hypothetical child for drinking and doing something really dumb while drunk than for the simple act of smoking pot. I see people passing doobs in downtown SF (and not in the park or other inconspicuous locations).
