Would you smoke weed in front of your kids?
I was confronted by my kids mother and she asked me if I smoked weed in front of our son. The truth is I have. He is 15 years old. I am of the opinion that being honest with our children helps us to be a better guide than gaslighting and hiding the truth. I have had many conversations with both of my teen kids about cannabis. We have talked about how it can be a great alternative to western medicine at times. We have talked about the power of intention when working with substances like cannabis. We have talked about the stigma that exists with something like cannabis even though it is legal. Is alcohol better? I really don't think so but I am sure that is up for debate. We have also talked at length about the traps that come with abuse of it. I have been vulnerable with them about my own addiction issues at times and where it has been a crutch for me. I believe our children learn more when we are vulnerable and seek to guide as opposed to attempting to control them. We were all 15 at one time and most of us have considered smoking pot and had it around us somewhere. At the end of the day, a young adult will make their own decisions anyways. I believe it is better to be an ally over an adversary. I would love to hear from others on here on how they would approach this.
Thank you for reading. 💚
