A Mother's Take On Medicinal Marijuana

Out of Denver, Colorado a mother and a son run a medicinal marijuana business together. Prior to the business the son was first a serious marijuana smoker and then a dealer. His mother does not deny that she knew about her son's illegal dealings. In fact she states, "we tell each other everything, we are very close". It is pleasing to hear that a mother, a guardian is well aware of her son's illegal activities and at most giving him a stern look.

To this day they both have medicinal marijuana cards that allow them to smoke every single day, in fact sometimes they get high together. Apparently, the new family activity is to be under the influence of drugs together.

There are some new parenting techniques that are a little unconventional, but the allowance of the use of drugs seems like its pushing the line a bit. In fact it was stated that "he feels good about coming out of the closet, the illegal drug closet. I feel like we've set a good model".

Well, under no circumstances I do not think selling drugs illegally and then selling drugs legally, while all the time high, is setting a good example.

Interesting bit.

Medicinal Marijuana Laws Coaxing Teens to Get High?

The medicinal marijuana laws in states such as California could possibly be influencing teenagers to smoke pot. As unbelievable as this is, because there are no age laws for medicinal marijuana, teens sometimes abuse the law and get it just for there own entertainment. This could be a big explanation to a higher percentage of marijuana using teens.

Anti-drug advocates often assert that California's medical marijuana law and the prevalence of the dispensaries that distribute the drug are making it easier for children to get pot.

But showing a direct link between medical marijuana laws and teen drug use is difficult, as illustrated by two separate government reports used by parties on both sides of the contentious issue to support their positions. -Edward Sifuentes
