For reasons beyond what I’ll get into I’d say pot is far from kid-neutral. Kids dont need isolation or shelter but they thrive under safe healthy conditions and a positive environment moreso than not. A single 32 year old male from NY with a disdain for authority and no life experience in parenting is not a relaible source of information nor is a bitter old lady in the south bay. You can have each other as you both “get” it.
Fine.
Let me say this: the only difference between OB and the rest of the world is that the purveyors of said herb are slightly more visible. Regardless of where they live, if the kids are going to a school with other rich kids, trust me: weed and much, much, worse will be available to them. It’s not a question of kids finding a dealer. It’s a question of dealers smelling money and coming to the kids.
And it’s funny. I believe the “bitter old lady” had a kid or two in her day. How many do you have?!
