Question

You catch your daughter smoking pot alone. What should you do?

Answer 1

talk to her ,whatever age she is, and explain to her why you dont want her to and then ask her to explain why she feels she needs to ...that is the only way to start is communication.

Answer 2

smack the hand thats holding the doobie.  ask her where she got it.  tell her next time, I'll take her to the police station and make her fess up.

Answer 3

Be her parent. Don't just play it off even if you did it when you were younger. It is illegal. (PERIOD) What are you teaching your daughter if you allow this behavior. Are you going to say that it is ok to steal if it is just a little bit or if you don't get caught.

IT IS ILLEGAL. The consequences need to be based on how you are raising your child. I would definately become more involved in her life. Get to know her "friends". She will not like it but being a parent is not always the popular thing to do but it is the right thing to do.

Best of luck to your family.

Answer 4

I say....

1.)ask how long she has been on pot

2.)send her to rehab

3.)take it away before rehab

Answer 5

Tell her society has way overreacted about the effects of marijuana and that it has killed 0 people while cigarettes kill 400,000 a year.

Answer 6

Confiscate it ... then enjoy it at about midnight with a bag of popcorn, a box of Chips Ahoy, a big glass of Iced tea and Tommy Boy in the DVD player.

Answer 7

First of all, smoking weed is a pretty minor infraction. Taking her to the police, or putting her in rehab would be idiotic because it will damage your relationship severely. Rather, ask her how often she does it. If she does it once a week or less, then it is not too big a deal and won't really be damaging to her.

It is unrealistic to expect teenagers to stay completely away from drugs and drinking. It is just too prevalent in high school and college culture. It is NOT unrealistic to expect young folks to be responsible about it. That is a requirement. Tell your daughter that you would rather she not smoke weed very often, and if she does to not drive or be a passenger in a car with a high driver.

Don't believe what you hear on the radio or TV ads. These advertisements do a horrible injustice to the public by giving incorrect, and sometimes completely false information.

Answer 8

Smoke with her!

Answer 9

Are her grades bad? Is she slacking? If not, I wouldn't worry, not about the pot, anyway. But I'd make it clear to her that if she ever tried hard drugs I would personally throttle her and throw the remains to the alligators at the zoo.

Answer 10

how old is she? if she is over 20, I say tell her to share.

Answer 11

take it away and make her talk ;to you and tell you exactly what all she is doing go to walgreens buy a home drug test for everything and test her. then taljk to her about the consequences of all drugs and why she is not allowed to do them as long as she is under your roof. thenm randomly test her she has broken your trust already so she has no need for privacy now randomly inspect her room if she does it again or its more sign her into a rehab at that point or better yet bootcamp.
