ARE U RALPHIES FRIEND FROM A CHRISTMAS STORY? LOL

D.A.R.E.

DRUGS ARE REALLY EXCELENT


When I was in the dare program i won a $50 saving bond for submitting the best anti drug moive. It was a movie of me and my friends pretending to smoke, then we had this dude tied up to the chair like we were mafiosos and then my other friend ran in with a fake pistol pretending to be a cop and arrested us. and we won for that video


a few years later I snuck in my parents room got the savings bond that they were holding for me and cashed it.

I then purchased $50 worth of Marijuana and proceed to get lifted on the dare programs money paid for by the tax payers

i love it. and that was the acronym we all new it by anyway. in fact, i still don't rightly know what it is....but god i love the irony

The wife and really enjoyed all the feedback from this thread...thanks again!

We have another question for ya...

What kind of terminology do you use with your kids? This question is especially for the indoor growers...

Do you tell them that "Daddy is working in the garden right now?"

None of our friends or relatives even know that we are growing and would hate for the wrong phrase to slip out while people are over.

I believe that choice is an important thing, now I hear people saying that they don't want the teachers warping the childs brains against it, but by having it around them and showing them what a part of every day life it can be are you not warping them towards wanting to do it. I believe that you can't do this until they are at an age where they can understand what you are telling them and why, plus they have to be strong enough to make their own decisions based upon what they want and not what they think someone else wants.

Agreed, but here is an example of what I'm looking for...

When I need to work in the "garden" I will say something along the lines of "I need to go take care of the girls".

Now this works well for us because we also have 2 female dogs and my son is only 3 1/2.

We were just curious as to what other terms people use with their kids, or between each other when referencing your grow.

ok,ive been atcually writing this on paper for few days,please understand that where im from and everything ive done in life has led me to who i am today.it is nessecary to explain what ive been through for everyone who's reading to appreciate my answer to this thread.i started out in a gang at 15,1st dinking,followed by smoking marijauna,coaine, crystal meth,pcp,mushrooms and acid,after weed it all might of came in a diffrent order.the drugs made me into a monster,they made me into alot of things,things i am not proud of.it also took me to places id never wish on my worst enemys(prison)im not bragging,but dont think im one of these guys who got a taste of jail, and then got scared strait.ive wasted 10 years of my life in a place filled with people who have done crimes,most of which r drug offenses.in there i was introuced to heroin,needless to say it was the biggest mistake of my life!ive been a dope fiend for over 20 years, in some shape or form.ive been off heroin for 7 years,clean.....or am i.istill smoke weed and pay my bills.i know weed is not a hard drug,but there is a road to which other drugs r introduced.1st its this and then that,and then think,well lets try this.i hope my words r coming out right?anyways,saying this i hope everyone can understand my reason of thinking.I,personally dont want my kids to do drugs period!!!!2 of my children r 15/16,the others r too young to understand.i talk to them about the consequences of drugs(all drugs),becouse believe it or not,in some way,shape or form there r risks!!!and it would crush me to know that my children r doing drugs.my children r my world!!!!!!!!!and even after the fact of what ive done in life i know that i am 1 of the few fathers that can call themselves "DADS....and drugs at a young age can ruin a persons life,no,not all kids,ill admit that...it does depend on the person.i read in someone elses post,"pros and cons" about weed(drugs)i taught them well,and i hope when its time they can make an educated desicion on the problem at hand.teaching them is all u can do,showing them mommy and daddy does it,well that just makes it ok?im not looking down my nose at anyones way of how they deal with their own chidren,but "personally"ill never tell them its ok,and even though i do it(which i do outside of my home,go for a ride,what have u)it will always b the wrong thing to do.as for growing,well that is a a diffrent story!im not a big grower,actuallyjust a few plants iin my yard,which they never seen,yet.i do plan on,and already in the process of a bigger indoor grow,under lock and key outdoors!i will do everything in my power to keep them out of view,all i can say to them is that their plants.after 18,i hide nomore.....respectfully,rascalone

ps,i hpe this doesnt make me a hyipocryte,and if it does ,i dont care,their my children for godsakes and ill do and say whatever i can to keep them on the right path,i can only hope and dream that they have a better schooling and life for themselves,one i never had!and its only becouse of my own stupidity and lack of knowledge about drugs..........rascalone

Hey there, my daughter is 5 now and asks all kinds of questions. Like yesterday for example, I took 10 clones from my current vegging plants and have to put them under a flouro in the kitchen (the one in the cabinet is broken and plan is to fix today). Well she was asking all kinds of questions. I basically told her I was making new plants from ones I already have. She was fine with that answer. All she knows is that Mommy likes to garden. When I am tending to my plants, I am gardening. She does help me out in my gardens outside where I have lots of other kinds of plants so she can't make the distinction. She knows not to come out in the garage where the cabinet is when we are out there. She thinks the cabinet is a big fridge. When the time is right and she can hadle it, I will tell her the truth.

I agree with the honesty. To a 5 year old though they are just plants that mommy grows in her garden, lol. When she is old enough to understand, I will have to tell her all about it from our perspective. We will let her make her own educated choices when that time comes. I hope I have a few more innocent years,( I doubt it though) time flies and they grow up eh?
