When my teenage son told me he wanted to try growing marijuna plants, I gave him my blessing.
He is 17 now, old enough to make his own decisions on most things.
Besides, the laws for this state have changed, and any property owner is allowed to grow a few pot plants on their land. Of course there are limits, but if the boy wanted to grow his own weed, I was eager to taste the results. Smoking cannabis has never been an issue around our home. Even though I never smoke marijuana in front of the kids, I never made any secret that I enjoy it. I was especially glad that he brought up the subject, because I myself had been considering the idea of growing marijuana plants. The laws are different now, so why not try growing some cannabis, just to see what happens? The worst case scenario is that I end up with no smokable cannabis, but since I didn’t have any to start with I don’t really lose anything. Now I don’t even have to go through all the effort, because my son will be working in the cannabis patch instead of me. I will still keep an eye on him, and help him out, but he has been reading a lot about botany recently, and he probably knows more about cannabis plants then I ever will. I hope the marijuana laws continue to evolve, because growing plants at home is a nice idea, but a much nicer idea is having a local cannabis dispensary where I can buy whatever I want.
