My 15 year old wants to try weed

[Fingernail]

This is a ridiculous and hipocritical situation! My dad tells me everything and I should be happy that she is so honest and open. I knew this time would come, but assumed that she would sneak off and do it secretly. I suppose I thought it might NOT happen as her friendship group is mostly religious and culturally they just aren’t going to take any drugs or try alcohol. But dd is curious. She wants to do it at home with a friend! I don’t know whether to agree to this. I am also considering getting her the weed, so I can make sure that she doesn’t end up with something too strong.

This is a ridiculous situation. I’ve taken shed loads of drugs myself but I don’t know how to respond to this.( She doesn’t know I have taken ANY drugs...mostly she has assumed and I haven’t corrected her!) WWYD?

*dd not dad

Is this a joke?

No. Why do you think it’s a joke?

I would say no and explain why, but DP might say yes, I just hope she would trust/respect me enough to believe me. She’s only 11 now though so time will tell.
You need to talk to her about it.

Well you seriously know you can't? (if this isn't just some odd wind up).

Well I want to be the queen of England, but that's not happening either. Tell her no!

Tell her you don't want her getting in contact with people who sell illegal drugs and that you certainly aren't doing it on her behalf.

I took shedloads of drugs myself, but that doesn't mean I'll make it easy for my kid to do the same.

No way, what could this lead too? Fuck that

You dont know whether to say yes?

It's illegal.
She's not old enough to drink or smoke so why would you condone and perhaps even be the supplier for them to try it?

No, to what? Doing it at home? I’m thinking it’s BETTER/safer to do it at home?

I mean, I’d tried a lot more than weed at her age....in various locations;dealers houses, squats etc. She’s not me and values her safety more/is more sensible.

Yeah get the weed and when she wants to try speed, you can get her that as well.

A few Es for Christmas and a wrap of coke for new year.

Don't be so bloody ridiculous OP. Try it at home indeed. With a friend to boot, get the friends mother involved as well. Toke together!

Christ man!

I would just go down the route that it’s illegal for a reason- it should she want to go to Amsterdam when she’s 18 you’d find her holiday there. Or her flight or whatever.
It’s a gateway drug and I don’t think condoning illegal drug taking is ever a good parenting move. FWIW I didn’t come down strongly on my son when he smoked weed on occasion from a similar age and he ended up smoking for a while and doing a lot of weed and then some other drugs too. He got really quite unwell mentally and physically as a result and is now completely clean and says himself he is glad he is off it all and sees the ease of spiralling into more and more drug use. He’s 22 now

Oh come on. It's one thing you thinking that she might sneak off and try it. It's a whole different matter that you're considering supplying your own child with it. Regardless of what drugs you've taken in the past. Parent her. Don't condone and supply. Ridiculous.

Just say no. It's illegal and you are not going to condone her trying drugs in your house.

Good luck explaining that in court if you get caught. 'You see, I was buying it for my daughter because she wanted to try it and I thought that as a responsible parent I should get it for her'.

Yeah that's what to do, go buy your 15 year old drugs and let her and her friend sit in yiur house and smoke it. You could join them

At school:

"Yeah I've had some. My mother got some for me"

Seriously OP, give yourself a slap. When or if it's legal, then fill your boots.

I would take her to the police station and get them to tell her the outcome they've seen from people taking drugs, will probably put her off.

What are you going to say If you let her try it, she likes it, and wants to do it regularly? Shes only 15. It could lead to all sorts of shit.

Get her to watch the latest ‘24 hours in police custody’ to see the impact of ‘just a bit of weed’ of people’s lives. Trying weed isn’t just the impact on her. It’s an illegal industry, so would be funding slave labour as an example. I can’t believe you are thinking about saying yes.

What if she wants to try cocain next, then maybe some smack next. Are you going to get her that aswell?

im Not convinced that she won’t do it, if I ‘tell her no’

I struggle with that idea, as I left home at 16. Most of my friends did. So, it’s not normal for me that 15 year olds follow parents instructions

Cigarettes would also be a bad idea let alone weed. This must be a wind up

Simple words

NO WAY

So to stop her leaving home, you will buy her drugs when she asks? Ffs
