It's pot. It's not the best thing in the world for ya, but it's not like the kid is shooting up for crying out loud.

Use in moderation, don't be a moron. It'd be better if you waited until you were older. Simple.

And yes, I've been very close to many, many people who've used both pot and much harder drugs regularly, myself included. I've seen and done many things that are not fit for discussion here. If you wanna talk about "the life", you're gonna have to do a lot better than thinking hippies are cool and smoking a bunch of pot for a year. Call me when you've actually gotten around a bit.

I know many people who are responsible adults that smoke pot ragularly, but not excessively. Just because you couldn't, doesn't mean no one else, or even most others, can't.

It's like the alcoholic who gets sober and is then convinced every time he sees someone else get a little buzz that they need to get into the program too. It's simply not always the case.
