[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious. My DD goes to one of the schools on Princeton Review’s “Reefer Madness” list. She’s told me she started smoking weed several months ago as there’s a dispensary not too far. I honestly don’t mind as her grades are decent and she’s involved on campus. There’s worse things she can do and it’s not like I didn’t partake while in college either.[/quote]

I will never understand parents who believe that good grades are an indicator that their student is doing well emotionally. [/quote]

OP here. I’m close with my children but also  give them space to explore and find their way. I may be an outlier here but I do not believe marijuana usage is indicative of extreme mental health problems. She does struggle with depression and anxiety but she keeps me in the loop and has a reliable therapist. If it was a daily thing I’d be worried. It’s more social/weekend. I’d rather her get marijuana from a dispensary than a shady drug dealer with fentanyl laced drugs.[/quote]

It's good that you are discussing this with her but smoking weed is not good - the weed of today is not the weed of back in the day, it is much stronger. And of course, vaping thc is exponentially stronger (and many kids seem to call vaping thc, "smoking weed", it's not the same).

My son has said alcohol, weed, and vaping thc is rampant at HS parties. Our take is, don't do it. He has on several occasions. We try to keep an open dialogue but also discourage usage. It's tough.[/quote]
