Quick, buy some condoms and jump into the time machine before its too late!!!!!!!!!

heres a thought though, how the hell can you get a 2 year old to smoke?

most people cough like crazy the first time they try out mj, dont really get it down and they are trying to..

so the lil 2 year old, understood how to inhale the smoke? and was able to handle the smoke going down?

if this is not all just total baloney, i imagine two giggling idiots blowing smoke in the kids face, some gets in his eye, he starts crying, someone sees it and reports it.

or they blow it into his mouth, some bit gets into his throat and he coughs like crazy, starts crying and attracts attention, someone calls the cops out of hysteria.

isnt everything bad about mj, always blown out of proportion by a hysterical media? why isnt this the same?

because its a baby?

perhaps cause to investigate if they are fit parents, but hardly reason to jail them.

Well, force issue aside in this case, what about canna treats? What about a baby mocking mommy/daddy by trying to smoke, and getting encouragement to keep trying? Maybe the 2 yr old wouldn't smoke on his own, but what if it was a really smooth vapor that anyone could inhale? If there is no way he was hurt by it, then what is the harm other than the force?

When would you let your child begin using MJ? What if it wasn't a medical reason, doled and dosed out by a caregiver, but just for fun?

I think 18-21 is a good age limit for legal MJ.

But since you say there is no way he could have been hurt, would you let your 2-yr old get high?

Okay. I'm gonna step in shit here and see if any sticks on my shoes.

First off, those young people are just plain wrong. And I agree with FG on the dangers of extreme views i.e, all right or all wrong.

Now as far as kids are concerned, yes, mj is better left alone until adult years for pleasure purposes. But what about medicinal?

We can go the drugstore and buy our little tots cough syrup that also helps them sleep better (i.e. alcohol based). In the old days before Big Pharma, many a Granny dosed her babes with a wee bit of moonshine to help tame a cough. What's the difference? None that I can see except that omniscient FDA does not approve of Granny's old ways. She is therefore criminal if she uses them. How many of you put a few drops of Whiskey in your little ones bottles to help with coughs & congestion - not to knock them out so YOU could sleep, but solely to help them with their misery? I did it when mine were little. I found out about doing this from ... my DOCTOR!

Now moving on to mj. Knowing what we now know about its medicinal uses (yes, some ARE exaggerated), would you be willing to use it on your little ones IF YOU KNEW it could help them? Here is my example:

My daughter, then an older teen, got a serious case of food poisoning. She vomited all night and all day to the point of exhaustion and dehydration. We were prepped to take her to the hospital as she was quite ill and not getting better. Now since she was a teen, I asked her if she wanted to try some mj tincture in a cup of tea before we took her in. She was eager to try anything other than go to the hospital. We weren't sure the method of ingestion would work since she had not been able to keep down water. But it did. She not only kept that down, she did not vomit again! The mj stopped it completely. She finally went to sleep and was able to recover without going to hospital. Had authorities found out, I would have been thrown in jail for child endangerment.

Would you have done this?

Your opinions?

Forcing a kid to take mj while the dangers are unknown is just crazy.Sure mj is fine for adults with fully formed brains(unless they suffer schizophrenia) It's a risk that may or may not affect a child forever. Why assume it IS dangerous if we don't know? Because anything less risks damaging a kid ie. child abuse. As far as giving a kid alcohol so the parent can sleep goes, I'll drink it till I pass out before I'd feed my son that shit...

By the way...my 4 yr. old son is in the autistic spectrum, there is anecdotal evidence that mj may help him. I love my son enough to NOT take the risk because there is NO hard evidence of the harms or the help.

Personally, I believe it's the political situation that is skewing things

MJ isn't the magic cure all but yea, giving a kid strong couch medicine is just as likely if not moreso, to have negatives for the kid than giving them weed. However, how often is a kid given that strong oral cough medicine? Not very often and in limited quantities. Same should be with mj. If they want to put it in sweets or liquids I dont see the issue personally.

After all, none of us would be here without alcohol. Our ancesters drank beer and liquors from adolescent ages all the way through pregnancy and we turned out just fine.

How do I know this?

You cannot store fresh water easily on ships. And for long voyages hundreds of years ago, what do you think they drank? Beer and alcohol constantly. It's already fermented and will last a long time.

I feel the dangers are over stated. I am not advocating anyone pregnant or a young child drink, I am just saying more than likely, they are ok and will be fine.
