Are you/ will you be a cool parent?
Ok, when I was in high school it was a big thrill to sneak off with my buddies and smoke a joint... get the "munchies", order pizza and just be stupid for the rest of the day. I still wouldn't mind chowing down on some pot brownies once in a while.
I don't care if my neighor smokes a joint, and I'd think it was cool if I found out he had a little grow operation going on in his basement or something.
My wife and I always said we'd be "cool" parents and tell our kids if they're going to smoke pot, "do it at home so you don't get busted".
Now we have two in high school and we're just freaking out at the idea that they might get their hands on a joint (I know for a fact that one of them already has). We're NOT "cool"... in fact, the whole idea of providing a safe environment for my kids to engage in illegal activities seems completely irresponsible.
It's kind of hypocritical.. but that's the way it is.
