Re: Minors Consenting to the use of substances.

Now why would anyone want to turn kids on to things that can harm them like drugs,tobacco and alcohol? I don't care about consent for these things,or if they are legal or not. They fuck up people's life's. Have you ever seen the ugly side to these things? I have and it's not pretty, I'm not talking anything to with legality at this point. Then there's the cost of these things, this stuff isn't cheap, you expect a 4 year old to be able to afford feeding an addiction? In this world we live in 4 year olds don't work unless they are somehow in the entertainment industry and that's few and far between. There's a health risk with all these substances. My ex-father in law died because of his addiction to tobacco. Many people die because of complications due to this, I've personally seen a few and it's a horrible way to go. My brother who was lucky enough to quit had a terrible smokers cough while he smoked,at the time he was in his early 20's so I can imagine how bad it would be today. I don't see how anyone would want to turn a child on to this way of life. Alcohol I have strong opinions on this one, I used to drink a lot and it almost ruined my life. It ruined my marriage due to her alcoholism. I've personally known a few people who died drunk driving. Not a very pretty site to see 2 cars loaded with teenagers die due to drunk racing. Seven that night. One lived and the guy who bought for them is in prison. I've seen people who I used to hang out with make absolutely nothing of themselves due to alcohol addiction. All they care about is getting drunk every night, every last cent they make goes to booze. I've also seen people who drink responsible but still you have to take in account the whole spectrum of this matter. Why turn a child on to such potentially damaging habit. As for weed this one I have the least amount of experience with, some people I've known who used are successful in life others are stereotype pot heads who are useless, lazy, and unproductive. There's some health risks from smoking weed,but the biggest problem with this is it's illegal here in the U.S. unless you happen to have a prescription for medicinal use. Instead of turning on a child to addictive substances turn them on to a healthy lifestyle. Teach them the value of healthy eating, physical activity, the arts. There's so many healthy things to do with a child that are enjoyable and fun. I enjoyed life more when I was playing sports and eating healthy then when I was partying. I used to be like you, but over time I saw how these things have ruined peoples life's so my opinion on this matter has changed dramatically. In 20 years maybe your opinion may change, maybe not, but as your life goes on your experiences will influence your feelings on things. LITTLE GIRL LOVER
