WTF Kids being sent to Juve? Having the cops called on them? Being forced to go to counselling? Now I know I'm on the other extreme where the only rule is don't smoke in the house and don't smoke in the car. But WTF, some of your parents are IDIOTS! Who would ruin their child's life by getting them a criminal record for possession of MJ? Holy shit. Anyone got a gun so I can balance out the gene pool??? Jesus...
Hm, concerned, angry parents do that, not ones who want to ruin their children's lives. As far as they are concerned, MJ is illegal for a reason. Not saying that what they did was "right", but they had their reasons, I'm sure.
Parent's house, parent's rules. Not saying I agree with making any decisions like that, but parents will do as parents want. Sometimes feelings can get in the way of rational thinking.
Maybe they are illogical to you. I happen to know several people who have thrown their minds away to Pot, they can't even think anymore. Perhaps the parents had some friends with the same problem, and are just looking out for their kid. Also, if you are under 18 and have criminal charges pressed against you, they disappear from your record when you turn 18. Personally, I would not have called the police on my child.
Oh, I didn't know the record went away, if that is truely the case then it's not quite as bad as I thought, but still pretty ridiculous.
They don't disappear for repeat offenders I don't think. Pretty much, if you have an isolated incident when you are a kid, than it won't be used in court if you get tried for something else as an adult.
they PROBABLY don't have the facts and they care about you. I'm 14. I know about this kind of stuff my friend. now, i agree what they did might have been harsh. but maybe you should be more careful? idk
What would you prefer I blame, rather than the cause? One can be wise with smoking pot, or one can misuse it, much like anything else in the world.
Blame the person for being dumb enough to put marijuana above other things. Blame the parents for not teaching their child responsibility. Lots of people smoke pot. Not all of them throw their "minds away" which means that it isn't the drug, it's the person.
Of course it is the person. Which is why I said "Several people who threw their lives away to pot." Because they threw their own lives away.
