Michael Jolton was a young father with a 5-year-old son when Colorado legalized medical marijuana in 2000. Now he's got three boys, the oldest near adulthood, and finds himself repeatedly explaining green-leafed marijuana ads and "free joint" promotions endemic in his suburban hometown.
"I did not talk to my oldest son about marijuana when he was 8 years old. We got to talk about fun stuff. Now with my youngest who's 8, we have to talk about this," said Jolton, a consultant from Lakewood.
A marijuana opponent with a just-say-no philosophy, Jolton, 48, is among legions of American parents finding the "drug talk" increasingly problematic as more states allow medical marijuana or decriminalize its use. Colorado and Washington state have measures on their Nov. 6 ballot that would go a further step and legalize recreational use of marijuana for adults.
Parent-child conversations about pot "have become extraordinarily complicated," said Stephen Pasierb, president of the Partnership at Drugfree.org, which provides resources for parents concerned about youth drug use.

"I'm a little a little nervous about those conversations, but I'm having them now," Haskins said. "I tell Hannah it's not a smart choice, that she needs to focus on school ... You can't just be a pot head and be lazy."

Harden said her own parents battled drug problems that started with marijuana use, and she tries to convey to the youths in her care they could risk the same fate.

But she finds it harder now to get that message through. "Because it's so popular, they truly believe it's harmless."

Kind of funny that even the parents that smoke "medically" buy into the standard propaganda. Are you lazy potheads?

Do these ppl have the same problem when it comes to beer ads? When your 21 you can drink when your 18 you can smoke cigarettes or pot... don't know why this conversation is so difficult... as far as I'm concerned beer is just as illegal as pot is if not more so since you have to be older to get... it's just ludacris. Stay high.

what makes people lazy is the food they consume. and when you are a child going to school, you usually eat at the school (school lunch = big business). and what kind of food do they serve at the schools? complete and utter garbage unless you go to a private school. there are some exceptions here. i am talking MOST.

It is because we still live in a drugs are bad mmmkay mentality. We will continue to see problems.
We should teach children (and adult society) that there is a diffirence between addictive substances and those natural substances humanity has been takeing with no negative impact (some would say it had formative impact rather), on our evolution as a species.

The all drugs are bad paradigm makes people question drug advice when they encounter something mild and unlikely to cause problems like vapeing pot... If the pot doesn't harm them, then obviously the other stories must also be lies....

That is how I ended up addicted to crack as a young man.... Thank god that is so long ago I concider myself as totaly 100 recovered.

My daugther will not just know about drugs, she will betaught everything I know and have experienced with every substance, as well as how to plant propagate, prepare and extract plant materials.
