I have indeed educated them and they have so far respected our opinions. But when they go outside to play outside with their friends, they have these 'druggies' in their face. They are also aware that these 'druggies' don't go to school because they can't get through the day without their fix, and won't be able to hold a job down because they have no qualifications. Ummm good role models.

OHG sorry to hear about your dad. I think the problem with the 'not harmful' marijuana is that it IS addictive and can lead to taking harder drugs. I live in a very rural part of Cambridgeshire in a small village and have seen the teenagers (well some not even in their teens) become addicted, which in turn has lead them to not be able to function in society, the misery it has caused their families is heartbreaking. Of course they can just as easily become addicted to alchohol, but it is far harder to come across at their young age. As i'm sitting here, I can actually see them skinning up on the Green outside my house, we have phoned the police on several occasions but all they get is a slap on the wrist.

It is addictive, like most things (alcohol, chilli, chocolate, food in general, exercise, etc). But doesn't always lead to harder drugs. That statistic only really shows that people don't just start off doing heroin, they work their way up. And those kids on the green (lol, in both ways!!), what harm are they really causing? If they were drinking they would be loud, obnoxious and more likely to commit crime. By them smoking, they will prob just help the local shop's sales of mars bars increase! Smiler

i've never known a violent abusive pothead! Confused though you may want to lock your fridge and cupboards!! most of the times i see people behaving in a way i dont like...they are drunk, not stoned (though they could be both ofc)

That's a massive generalisation pussycatj. Not every person who smoked/smokes marijuana acts like you describe or have no job/qualifications. When I say educate them, I mean fairly and without bias.

I have, when they couldnt get a deal Nod[/QUOTE]

i;ve seen potheads who couldn't get a deal, my OH was one when i met him and seeing him not being able to get a deal for a while upset me as he was a different person, more grumpy and a bit fidgety. as much as i HATED it, it was never violent or abusive though Wink

he hasn't smoked any for 3 years now, as he saw the effect not having any pot had on him. luckily he chose to give up just after he had an operation to sort out something that was giving him alot of pain (which is one of reasons he smoked it...and probably the main reason he was grumpy without pot tbh)...so was alot easier for him as he didn't have that 'need' anymore.

It doesn't matter where you live, I grew up in a rural area too and have only been in London for 18mths so I can relate to what you're talking about though. That's actually why I replied, because of the 'rural' thing. You can't tar everyone with the same brush though, how do you know they can't get through their day/have no qualififcations/will never hold down a job? Davina used to be a homeless heroin addict fgs, and now look at her! (not that I like her but hey...!) Laugh I'm not saying it doesn't have it's downsides, but seriously it is no worse than alcohol.
