I'm going to explain this just because you seem to be mentally handicapped.
more assumptions. yer on a roll
Listen vapid BOY, he didn't have any drugs smart guy, where did I ever say he did? Being stoned does not mean having drugs.
so this substance leapt from one person to another without ever being in his possession. being in his system is not his possession of it
glad one of you has some legal sense cuz it damn sure aint you assjack (you wanna play name games? we can both do that)
Second, marijuana possession is a misdemeanor
it can be. it depends on how much and a couple other circumstances
(that means minor crime dufus!).
oooh, name calling. be still my throbbing member
Add to that, that intoxication on drugs is NOT a crime at all!
yes it is. ever heard of public intoxication? doesnt matter what the substance is. ever heard of robotripping? its cough syrup, and it can intoxicate you to a point of being arrested for PI. ask yer boy
Lastly he was riding with a friend, which perhaps not too smart is also not a crime on his part.
first mention of that detail. i am glad he wasnt driving. was the driver also 'stoned off his ass' though?
I don't know what the statistics are on pot related accidents, but I am quite sure they are insignificant compared to other intoxicants.
it alters your perception, reaction time, and judgment.
do you want to drive around with a bunch of pot smokers meeting you in traffic? i dont
OK, so now tell me where I ever said it wasn't serious?
I told him all about the fun it was at first...
I told him to go to his room and enjoy it...
crack that whip
Now see what I didn't do is get all pissed off and punish him for something most kids do, because I want to have that kind of communication with him. I can't make his decisions for him and any parent that thinks differently is in dreamland. I don't condone these things and never said I did, but how exactly would coming down hard on him have helped?
maybe he would have realized that breaking the law is more serious than sleeping it off?
maybe he would realize that impairing yourself in public is dangerous?
hell i dunno, maybe instilling a sense of right and wrong couldnt hurt all that much
oooh, more outrage. you must be a real asskicker...no, that aint it...
is that any clearer? Have your mommy read this to you and get back to me.
wow, more childish playground comebacks. do one thing and do it well i guess
raise yer kid however you like. until he does something to me personally, the chances of which are microscopipc at best, it aint shit to me. let him do whatever you want to. all i said was dont be surprised if it haunts you someday. you wanna get a woody about it, call me names, insult me from the safety of your keyboard, and strut your perceived manliness around? knock yourself out. at least i accomplished one thig today that so far i hadnt seen from you on here
i got you to finally take a stand on something. whether its valid, misspent, or fucked dead up is not my ruling to make. you at least got off the fence for once, and i must say it was refreshing to see
my kids know the house rule (singular) on drugs. marijuana included for the advocates among us. its illegal, its harmful, and it will get you in a spot you dont want to find yourself in. period end of discussion. they bring it in this house, they will wish they hadnt. they go get themselves scrambled, i have no problem unscrambling them. id rather take my kid to a dryout than identify them in a morgue. see, to get weed you have to, by definition, associate with criminals. you have to break the law to get it unless your doctor prescribes it for cancer or glaucomma or whatever they give it for. i am going to wager that wasnt the case here.
hate the law all you like, if you do disagree with it. thats fine. try and get it changed if you wish. that too is fine. i can name laws i dont agree with too. but while they are still on the books i obey them or break them with a willingness to suffer the penalty if caught. that goes for everything from speeding on up.
now go stroke off and feel better
