The morality of telling someone else what to do based on your own beliefs is very murky. We have just lived in a country where it was considered normal for many years. It is not normal. Go overseas to a free country and people will be shocked if you tell someone what to smoke or wear or how to have their hair or what god to follow based on what we would believe to be true. In any case our laws grant us more freedoms than they do overseas. Time for recognition of that. Beliefs are just that, beliefs..not truths or fact or anything like that, the time that others who do not yet realize that, can enforce their beliefs over others who believe something different is coming to a close. After that all the only avenue we have to effect or force our belief on others is civilized debate, how nice. The rule of law and letter has prevailed.
LOL willem when and if your son smokes in your home you can still bliksem him behind the ears as it is your home and you make the rules there..
If he does choose to though now he can get it by his own hands and not have to meet gangsters or dodgy people or get exposed to hard drugs through the process which is one of the big problems with illegal weed. Now he does not have to deal with dealers that will push hard drugs onto him is the main win. And he will be far more likely to do it in a safe environment in someones home. Win as far as reality is concerned. For the millions of township kids, they can now get a smoke when older without getting exposed to whonga(smack) or meth which are the real evils..for example. Fact is most kids experiment, harm reduction is the key..education is the key. Drugs for the most part dont help any situaion. But then again sometimes they can be great tools for understanding or counseling. Sometimes they can lead to great k@k. Othertimes like the beer I am having now they can just be great to unwind. Anyway it is ones own personal choice now officially. I am freinds with old policemen and now I can be frank and smoke in front of them in my home, before I would not before out of respect..Although i'd ask them first if they minded out of respect. I have never hid the fact that I smoke ever.. I have multiple medical reasons and enjoy it and have not felt ashamed for a long long time.
Better to be do none at all though, no beer, no ciggies, no spliff etc..
But if I choose to it is my choice..sometimes a spliff is great and sometimes a beer goes down like a house on fire..life is like that? Like a great coffee in the morning..Like some of lifes richest moments get created out of a pot of rich morning brew..but best to be a monk and do nothing agreed..but then even they make their own hooch and have a mantra and use it to climb mountains in ritual..Life must have a little spice..otherwise it is too bland.. Even William Shakespear had a little doobie in his pipe, the archeology has shown that..
