California Proposition 64

The topic of marijuana use and legalization has been a controversial discussion. If California Proposition 64 were to be passed, marijuana will be common everywhere. I am placing myself in the timeframe of which I am a parent to children of mine. Kids will be curious on what that “skunky smell” is; and as those kids grow up, they will likely get into marijuana. It is our job as parents to guide our children into the right path.

The topic of marijuana will definitely come up when talking to my children. I would be very assertive with my kids on this topic. I would start with the pros of doing marijuana.

They should know when they can use marijuana and the consequences if done at a wrong time. If I tell my child to not smoke marijuana, and it's very common due to the proposition being passed, my child will be inclined to do so. Telling them no might make them rebel and try marijuana or something worse behind my back. My point being that my child can explore all they want as long as they talk to me about it and show me that they will be responsible with it. Also, so I can give them more insight on what they are about to do.

The issue of the children being exposed is solely impacted by the parents. My thoughts of my child using marijuana will change as I grow older and have more knowledge. As of right now, I think it's okay for my child to use marijuana as long as they are responsible. Once again, it's a very controversial topic so everyone opinion would
