    damn, can believe it needs to be said,

    don’t give drugs to children…

    I am willing to talk about 16+

    given that chances are they’ll try them anyways, and it’ll be better for them to know it’s safe to do them in a safe place like home, and call a trusted adult for help. better than assuming they are saints and hope they don’t do it in a sketchy place when sketchy people.

    but straight up giving children drugs? fuck no

      Ha right? 16+ hmm still sus, but at that age, if they want it they’ll find it on their own which could be problematic in of itself and then it can turn into “Well if they get it from me, at least I can guarantee safety”

      But a fucking 6 year old? Yeah that’s a solid fuck no

        16 is indeed Sus, but less than that is definitely in the “fuck no” category. that’s why I put my arbitrary are at 16.

        14 and found my edibles by climbing to the top of my closet, yhea just a talk about it.

        but 6? no fucking excuse.

      I get your point, but i’d argue it’s still dumb to normalize and encourage 15-16 year olds. Their brain is still developing and a lot of kids that have cannabis experience significant issues later; higher chance of developing depression, poorer cognitive performance in memory and learning (even with extended abstaining). The more its studied the more issues seem to be found so… it’s really not worth it, just wait until you’re an adult with a fully-formed brain - you can’t make good decisions prior about taking stuff that will permanently affect your brain and body health. Same goes for alcohol.

        Neither of those studies seem to be about the random one off I’m implying. If mom is smoking bowls with them every weekend that’s a different discussion.
