How do your childen feel about your growing?

[Joe420Camel]

.

We've talked about "other halves" in another thread, how about your KIDS?!



My daughter is 7 I can still hide EVERYTHING but not for long.

If you don't have any children (yet) feel free to take a little time and think about it
or if you had/have parents who toke feel free to add that perspective too.

As the laws change (or if the law is already different in your state) this subject will
become less (I don't want to use the word important) dangerous
but will occur more often as more people will be growing out in the "open".

I have a 4 (almost 5) year old...

...she's going to Kindergarten this September.. generally I'm ok with it, and raise her the same way I was. My dad smoked in my vicinity very often, and I thought not much of it because he didn't even acknowledge it. I mean, he generally stayed in another room with company and sure I smelled it. The smell started to remind me of him "being happy" and joyful and generally having a well being. It always signified a relaxed atmosphere and everything was alright type of feeling. You know.. I knew I wasn't about to get my arse beat! LOL

But with school.. come DARE and all that ****. She never asks about it, nor seems to care.

...I don't know entirely what I think. I know how I was raised, and how I'm going to raise her (I will not keep secrets or lies to her.. but will hold the truth for as long as possible). I'm going with the flow right now.

I'm hella baked and searched for it with no luck, but we had a thread about this a while back. I remember posting my belief and approach to it. Now have a 5 and 8 yr old. The 8 yr old knows what's up. This year will be talking to the 5yr old about the rules of fight club.

Basically without going too deep right now, it's medecine. It's a plant that grows, and helps people feel better. Some people don't agree so we don't talk about the garden with anyone.

A fellow! :aok:

But that being said, I live in NorCal, I def would have to have a different approach if I lived where it wasn't so accepted. It's really awesome how much my oldest gets. She asks deep questions and wants to help out in the yard. It's pretty cool

 

[Joe420Camel]

I started the same thread on MC a while back maybe you thinking of that one ston
With the Wife/Husband one going, I thought Id start one here.
:48:

EDIT
DARE is bad news!
they (tried) to brain-wash us pretty bad in the 1980-90, 00's

I was a toking sophomore in high school round 87 but my parents were "older" and didn't drink or smoke cigarettes
except a drink or 2 @ a fancy dinner around me at all.

 

[ston-loc]

Found it. Here's what I said in that one

My oldest is 8 and this is our 4 season OD growing. First couple years didn't even have to worry about them. 6 and 7, the questions started. Not sure your legality, but Id say that would change the situation a little. I'm in Cali and super lax on herb here. I'm full on advocate of the awesome powers of this plant, and hold nothing back with my kids. I tell them that some people dont feel the same way, so we dont need to talk to everyone about it.

We have rules and they are good with em. Just like fight club... BUT, say they slip, it isn't like I'm going to prison. My oldest is really asking more and more questions and wanting to help a lot this season. Kind of hard to know where to draw the line. I mean, she outright asks, " if its medecine and helps people, why would people think it's bad?" Or " Can I help with the clipping part this year?" ....... not sure what to say to that quite yet.... haha

Well, i don't know that my experiences would help anyone, but i will tell you anyway.

We smoked pot daily until our kids were about 10 years old. We waited til they were in bed and or gone.. Then we quit. It was the 80's. I wish now that i never had stopped. But fast forward a lot of years and my daughter is in NY and smoking her first J. She calls me and tells me she loved it and has smelled that smell a lot in her lifetime. HA, why yes she did.
So now she gets half of what i grow. It helps her as a busy career woman. My son is so straight but he accepts his mom and her grow and that the house always smells like pot. We have good adult kids. we are lucky.

 

[pcduck]

My kid wrinkles his nose, sneezes and then barks at me.
But that's pretty much it.

 

[Joe420Camel]

so he doesn't use
was he exposed to it much growing up?
is he more worried about your health or the legal side?
:bong:

 

[Rosebud]

Me thinks Duck's kids is a dog.

 

[Grower13]

I didn't grow while my kids were growing up.......... I did smoke it........ they knew it....... do not care what they think about me growing it now......... I don't know if they know I grow......... my house my rules.... deal with it..... they don't use.... yet..... my daughters husband smokes it.

i have a personal room in my home, there's the only place that i smoke in except if im alone. baby girl is turning 2, wife doesn't smoke, so i'm still okay for now, i will be placing an exhaust fan there to create some negative air but i still hadn't put that into action because a little bit of smell seeping from the door is no problem for now, but these kids are growing so smart so fast, i think that i must do it soon. i think that i can actually not have to tell her until she gets old enough to hear about it. i don't want my entire house smelling pot, and me and my wife love to keep everything well ventilated. i find it easy to adapt with family around, how hard is it to step out 5-10mins smoke up and come back in?

Word! I have a few pics that almost bring a tear to my eye of each of my girls out in the garden.. Aint posting them here, but if you could imagine a 5 and 8 yr old out watering 7' tall 8' around plants.... Thats about as amazing as mother nature gets...

 

[WeedHopper]

My Boys grew up around it. I never hid it,,and it never became a big deal. They are now grown up and out on thier own. They turned out just fine.

 

[yooper420]

My oldest boy (40) used to use and grow. Now he`s a truck driver and had to quit. Talked with him about growing, kid knows more then I do. My daughter (30) does not use. She knows I grow and use, says that`s my business. Youngest boy (29) is in the Navy (10 years). He knows about and has seen my garden. Youngest two voted for MMJ, oldest lives in another state (non MMJ).

 

[WeedHopper]
