I, myself have been a medical marijuana patient for 7 years now, and we grow it in our home along with our house plants. So it has been the norm for him to see the process, however - I'd much rather my son feel he can be honest with me about it and know where it's coming from so that he's not getting it off the streets. If we have to check Halloween candy for needles and poison, we should take the same care with anything else our kids put into there body..............IT'S JUST A PLANT THAT GROWS IN THE DIRT..................but as I stressed to my son - you never know what you get off the streets!!!

Until the government steps up and makes it consistantly safe for cannabis users to purchase and ingest cannabis, parents have a responsibility to ensure that theirchildren are educated and safe. If that means keeping your kids out of risky situations by keeping them out of touch with would-be dealers, so be it. The travesty here is not that this mother took her sons preference for cannabis (over .... say, alcohol, which many 14 year olds will overdose with this weekend alone) into her own hands (as opposed to many who are aware of their childs habit and choose to ignore it), but that our government continues to shut their eyes to this unnecessary and EXPENSIVE mistake.
