[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird balancing act here if you want to do it, OP.

You want your kid to trust you, talk to you, socialize in your home,
You want your kid to not do drugs etc.

I'd say, be safe. So, first up is birth control.  
I tell my kids I will drive them and friends at any time of night, anywhere, no questions asked.  Uber is authorized although also has its risks.

Agree with what others said about being the place to hang.
and, You don't want drugs and alcohol at your home.  So, dilemma.

Drug tests at home are certainly an option to help her not try it and give her an out with friends.

I did the same things at 15 - pot, cigarettes, drinking - and I am a responsible adult with a job, good credit score, my own home, etc.  Hard to predict which kids will get sucked into addiction.

I guess don't go nuts but try to set up bumper rails for her.[/quote]

The younger the kids are, the more likely they will get addicted. Using drugs & alcohol at 13 is more likely to lead to addiction than if the child started at 15. Same if kid starts at 15 v 17.  Prolonging it is best thing you can do. Eventually they will experiment, but hopefully that’s all.   [/quote]

:roll:

Please.  If it was really as dangerous as you say, then they would never have legalized it.[/quote]

Oh you are so naive.  The stuff is 20 times stronger than when I was a teen.    Leads more often to Marijuana misuse disorder, and can trigger schizophrenia is teen users who smoke heavily.  Plus, when they smoke it in carts, it can be laced with fentanyl.   Which is something nobody wants to mess with.

Adults want to smoke that foul smelling stuff, then fine.   But kids should stay far away.
