Boy calls police on parents for growing pot

Good kid. Someone's gotta keep these pothead parents in check, before they try to get him addicted to it. Yes, I know that you can't get physically addicted to mary j, but you do get mentally addicted. What happens when those two are high and something happens to him, huh? They won't call the emergency people to bring him to the er cuz they're high and don't want to risk going to jail, and/or possession with intent to distribute (a felony that can keep you from getting a job again, or owning a gun to defend your family with). People who are all like: "what a piece of crap, I wanna smoke pot, let them smoke pot, they're not hurting anything (my fat butt), blah blah blah" Think about this: When you become a parent, whatever you want goes down the drain. It's your job to be a GOOD parent, not a selfish one, and lead your child by example. "Hey son, lets go break the law together, and when you get to be an adult, or even a teenager, your already going to have no respect for the law or it's enforcers who lay their lives on the line daily to protect us LAW ABIDING CITIZENS, woo hoo!"(And that means even if you dropped out of school, that you don't let your child do the same. It also means faking regretting it too, if you some how are making it by in life.) Now, I will get hate for this I know, But it's the truth, and I know I made several blanket statements, however, if it does not apply to you, I do not mean it to. No offence, but this is truth. Parenthood is a responsibility and involves sacrifice, so if your not ready, please don't get knocked up. Don't be the mom on Poltergeist, to high to call TAPS o.O (I know that they didn't exist then, it was a joke, ha ha ha...)

Wow, this is ridiculous. I would like to know what the age of the child was also. I wonder what his mom and dad did to piss him off so much. I really don't think it was because he felt they were breaking the law. If you're a happy kid, you wouldn't bust your parents. Were they neglecting him somehow because of the plants ? I doubt it. Plants growing in a separate room will not harm your kids....hell, even in the same room ! If you have mold, then you are doing something very wrong, because that's not normal. It sounds like they have a decent setup, so I'm willing to bet they didn't have mold. If you have mold on your plants then they are ruined. They just have to try and make it sound like that kid had at least some reason to report it. Most likely some ignorant relative started telling the kid a lot of b.s., and talked him into it. As a parent I would feel totally betrayed. Maybe he should have sat down with his parents and said that he was uncomfortable with the plants in the house and talked to them about it before he snitched on them. How long have they been growing them, I wonder. My childrens father has medical marijuana plants at his place and they have seen them their whole lives. To them it's just another plant, along with the flowers and vegetables they've also grown. They know it's for medicine, and they really don't pay any extra attention to them. Has a plant ever harmed my child ? No, neither has a sunflower or a tomato plant.Children see things for what they really are until someone puts a different idea in their head. This kid just damaged his family for years to come and for what ? Plants.

Oooohh, scary plants ! Watch out !

There are people who support the legalization of marijuana who don't use it or may use it a little but by no means are potheads. They just have a little more common sense and education of what it is compared to alcohol and real drugs, made with caustic chemicals. These parents were not threatening their children in any way. If you are maintaining your grow room and taking care of your plants properly there will be no mold. You're are making outrageous assumptions to think that just because someone grows pot, they are neglecting their children. Marijuana will be legalized in our lifetime. It's now used by every age, race, class group, professionals, the elderly, teachers ,parents, etc.in the country because people are seeing firsthand the unmatched medical value of it, as well as being a safe alternative to lethal intoxicants like alcohol, cigarettes,cocaine, meth, heroin, etc. These parents were professionals, with a good reputation. More likely they were growing their personal stash, and I'll admit, they probably sold to some of their friends, but that in no way makes them idiots or bad parents. While you're certainly welcome to your opinion, but it's just not reality. The reality of it is that marijuana is gaining supporter at a very fast rate. There are whole towns in California whose entire economy depends on this plant. People no longer care that they can still get arrested for it, and the police don't have the resources to keep up. Those that continue to hold on to the "Reefer Madness" type propaganda will thankfully be replaced by open minded individuals who care about a person's rights to choose their own medicine, and to use cannabis responsibly, and when the next generation comes into replace our current old school leaders who, like you, negatively judge those that grow and use it while they freely enjoy their liquor and cigars, we will a nation that has finally decided to the right thing and start prohibiting the real dangers....alcohol and tobacco included. The world is full of hypocrites who will tell you you're an idiot for using pot, while smoking a cigarette...which can actually kill you.
