you catch your 17 year old smoking pot in your driveway, do you call the police and scare the crap out of him. or what would you do?

Have them get robbed and pistol-whipped in the worst part of town after they overpaid for an eighth of ditchweed. That'll scare em straight, or at least worked for me.

It has been said many times, but the cops would be stupid. Years and years ago that might have worked. The world has changed. It does seem like if the parents call to be "responsible" that it would be let go at some point. That won't happen in 99% of places anymore with no-drop policies, etc. The people that consistently vote and influence elections are ignorant older people that think drugs are terrible, etc. They like see convictions no matter what the charge is, and these SA pricks go for it. If the kid is 17 and working, to me they have just as much right to smoke pot as anyone else. As a parent that may make you upset, but you don't see most of the things they do anyway. I am not a big pot fanboy, never really enjoyed it, but NEVER use the police to try to control situations unless it is absolutely out of your hands to fix it. It's not a "meet ya down at the bar later for a beer, thanks for scarin' the kid" deal.

Child smoking is going to be non existent in 5 years. Hell, smoking may be non existent in 5 years. By the time they hit $20 a pack (does anyone doubt they will?) everyone but the elite are going to have to quit.

Asking parenting questions on a BB, Gheyest activity in the world. That pretty much sums it up.

Has anyone suggested antifreeze in his weed yet?

smack him upside thew head take his weed
and remind him whose house and who's rules they are

tell him you have violated my trust
guilt the **** out of him

then have him pack up everything in his room
including the door

then tell him to earn it back

I have no problem with weed but it, like booze and tobacco should not be used until a certain age
