when i was in elementary school all drugs scared the shit outta me because those DARE motherfuckers went hard on us my brother even won the DARE award, i remember my parents getting it framed hahaahah
That kid knew what he was doing. too damn bad, too. When my kid was 4 or 5 and asked the difference between my "poke" (smoke for him) and the cigarettes...I told him that I could go to jail and we would be separated if the law found the poke or caught me smoking it. He did NOT continue asking questions, and seemed quite satisfied with that. I do recall we discussed how I did not do "bad things" if I had a "poke". end of story. I had/have a good kid. He definitely would have known at age 11 what was happening. He is soon-to-be 27 now.
^ I love all the people that are so sure of what the kid was thinking, because they or this person would've known this or that. For all you know, this kid should've known, but is half-retarded. For all we know, the kid smokes the shit but hates his parents.
Or he brought the joints in to smoke with his friends, got caught and made up that story on the spot to cover his ass.
You quote multiple people by clicking the button next to quote with the marks ". You click that on each post you want to quote and then on the last one you click the "quote" button. I think its not right but the kid is only 11. I agree that its his parent's stupidity to blame. He didn't know. When i have kids i am going to explain to them the good things and bad things and the difference between pot and hard drugs. D.A.R.E. is such a shitty program that can go to hell. I remember in 6th grade they made me take D.A.R.E i had a D.A.R.E class ceremony certificate and everything. I feel really bad for the kid... i can't imagine how he feels right now and what hes going through but i also feel bad for the parents because they are going to have to go through a bunch of stuff.... And saying you would give your kid up for that is wrong.... and its not like you have a choice when government steps in someone has to take him. When i was 12 my brother went to me and pulled me into his room and on a book he had some different drugs on it and he told me about them and told me to never do them... but he didn't have bud on there.
What?! I loved my mommy and daddy, and daddy was a (slightly)abusive (total)drunk. I've never hated my parents actually...
I knew my parents smoked pot and did other things when I was that age and I knew right where they kept it as well... Kids are natural snoopers. Went through D.A.R.E the exact same age and I certainly did not bring any of my parents drugs to school as evidence of their using.
That's actually a good point. That's around the age that I always knew where the Christmas presents were hid (I would only peek, I didn't want to ruin the surprise). Makes me think less critically of the parents..
I had no idea D.A.R.E was a mandatory school program in the States. When I was a wee beefheart in school we had a cop come in one afternoon with a white board. On this board there were pictures of car accidents caused by drunk drivers. Also on it, glued under a thick layer of laminate were some cigarettes and some loose buds of pot. She told us what they were, told us they were bad and could land us in jail. And hour or so later she left. I was 12 or 13 years old. That was it.
are your parents hiding JEWS in the basement??.. Discovered Life in hiding was always hazardous. Throughout German-occupied Europe, the Nazis made a concerted effort to locate Jews in hiding. German officials and their collaborators harshly penalized those who aided Jews and offered rewards to individuals willing to turn in Jews. Beginning in March 1943, the Gestapo (the German secret state police) granted some Jews in Germany reprieve from deportation in exchange for tracking down their co-religionists who had gone underground. By spring 1945, when the Nazi regime lay in ruins, these informers had turned in as many as 2,000 Jews. In other countries, neighbors betrayed others for money or out of support for the regime. In German-occupied Poland, blackmailers squeezed money or property from Jews by threatening to turn them in to the authorities.. Same fucking thing children.. the same fucking thing..
Really, I don't have a prblem with DARE. At least 75% of the lessom plan is pure bullshit propaghanda. I went through DARE with enthusiasm and passed with flying colors. And a few years down the line I still made my own informed descions. The kind of people that are easily bought over by DARE bullshit in all honestly are the people who probably shouldn't be doing drugs in the first place. But the parents should still give that kid a good lick or two.
Well now days it seems like it then. I love my mommy.. For a while i was pretty mad at her though. Yourwelcome.. it took me a while to learn that too. My mom doesn't smoke pot but she did other drugs when she was young. She said she doesn't smoke pot because it gives her the munchies but i always new about my brothers and uncle and i never said anything. Yes they are. Did something happen to you?
...if there is potential that you could choose pot over the well-being of your own child - that is a huge warning sign that maybe you care entirely too much about weed.
But those people can still vote. Anti-drug propaganda is as big a friend of the War on Drugs(/users) as it is a product of it.
