Found some Marijuana in my nephew's bookbag..

[OneMoreRep]

So my nephew decided to spend the labor day weekend with my husband and I.  He did so, not so much to spend time with us, but because his girlfriend lives about half a mile away.

Anyhow, while with us last night, I asked if he had an extra pen I could borrow.  While he was watching tv in the living room, he yells out that in his bookbag's front pocket, he should have a few pens available.

So, I go and open his bag and upon not finding any pens in his front pocket, I then search in the main (large) pocket of the bag.  As I unzipped it, I noticed he had a herb vaporizer and 2 ziplock bags with marijuana in them (one of the bags was labeled sour diesel and the other purple haze).

I didn't say anything to my nephew, because I know he probably didn't want me to know about it.  I discussed it with my husband and he felt that it wasn't a big deal (for as when we were growing up, every teenager smoked pot).

Now my question to you guys is, would you:

(A) Call his parents and tell them that he is a pothead?

(B) Steal half of his supply and pack those bags generously with oregano to compensate for his loss?

(C) Bring it up to him, demand that he give up his supply and mention it to his parents, to only then smoke the stuff with your own colleagues?

Decisions, decisions..

What would the NSA have to do with marijuana?  They don't deal with such petty issues..

Im confused, a 17 year old with drugs would imply he is black (no racist), except you said he has parents

Let him be, but let him know, you know.

[99 Bananas]

Just speak with him about his life in general. If he's keeping business life straight I say let him do whatever he wants so long as he's over 17-18 and keeping it together. If he's fucking up in life it's almost certainly due to being preoccupied with weed though.

He is white (Israeli/Greek).

Marijuana is very popular among this age group.  I just wasn't aware of how popular it had become for teenagers over the last 20 years.

Wiggs,

Any long term side effects to using that stuff?

He is a good kid.  Does well in school and keeps out of serious trouble.

Laziness, lack of motivation, temporary loss of short term memory.

Increased creativity, view things in a different way, relaxed, stress free.

I never touched it till I was 29.  He's still growing and his brain is still developing.  I read last week that it can stunt the IQ of kids not fully developed...Don't know how credible that is.

[K-1]

Just keep it real with him. Sit him down. Give him the gateway drug speech and drop it.

If he turns out to be a crackhead later on or the never get anything accomplished pot head it's on him.

If he turns out to be some billionaire, He'll trust you more than anybody on the planet.

Marijuana is a gateway drug.

Chances are he will move onto illicit harder drugs in the future.

Well you have your answer... but smoking weed that early and alot will slow him down. Research shows that becoming a full time pothead after the age of 23 is better than starting early when the brain is still developing.

[hipolito mejia]

If your own  kid was on drugs (yes Weed is a drug) and ilegal one....you'll be grateful if your brother/sister let you know in the event that you didnt have a clue your son was smoking/hanging around with drugs....



That's how I see it.

[CAPTAIN INSANO]

One,

Does your nephew have somebody related to him with drug or alcohol addiction problems? That should raise a red flag.

My major concern revolves around the legality of possession here in NYC.  I wouldn't want him to get caught with it and possibly get a record and fine.

I think I might have to sit him down for more or a serious chat then.

Back iny teenage years, everyone smoked pot, seems like today it is highly frowned upon.

Captain,

No one uses or has had any drug related problems in the past, but his current girlfriend is a bit of a free spirit with a pair of hippie parents.

He is 17 already, if you rat him out on something you do yourself your just going to alienate yourself from him. He will never trust you for shit and in 3to 4 years when he is over the whole 'pot' thing or just doing well for himself he will remember the time you ratted him out to his peeps. If it concerns you enough, talk to him one on one, tell him what he needs to know and let him know that he has a safe place to go to if he needs one.

legality of posession in NYC ? hahahha cops dont give a fuck about weed in NYC, as long as your not blowing it in thier face. I wouldnt put it in my bag though, cause if he takes the train then he  can be searched, tell him to carry it on his person so if he does get randomed searched at the subway or PATH it will not force the cops to do something ie arrest.  

When your nephew is buying an 8 ball after finishing one off 15 min earlier, then you have a problem. Hell drinking too much is a problem.
