Good advice is only useful if it's timely!


But seriously... it's her loss if she rats you out. What would piss off the parents more? ... the 13 year old looking for the weed, or the older sibling refusing to sell it to a 13 year old?

For a number of reasons:

#1 - the OP could be an adult (or at the very least, mature enough to use responsibly).
#2 - the OP may not have even started smoking at thirteen, or a close age.
#3 - As I said before - one person's poor choices do not entitle another to do the same.

If you knew someone who was terribly addicted to heroin - couldn't stop for the life of them - but still managed to realize how badly it was affecting them and told others "don't end up like I have," would you call that person a hypocrite? Because my opinion would be that this person is simply trying to make the best of an absolutely horrible situation. Or how about a drug dealer who tells a young kid to stay in school and away from dope so that they don't end up living a life of crime, but may not have any other options for him/herself due to being a convicted felon who dropped out of high school? Is that person a hypocrite?

However, docmitch, I foresee this venturing completely off-topic in the near future if we don't put a stop to it, so if you're going to address my post, please at least have the decency to also address the OP's concerns.

She is going to smoke no matter what most likely, you helping her out scoring some bud or not... I'm not sure if she has smoked or not, but this is assuming she has;

My thought is well, she is very young. In my eyes too young to be responsible with marijuana, but thats where you come in...

She's asking you, a highly respected role model for some marijuana. Now, she obviously has decided to smoke regardless of anyone else saying otherwise, so the best thing to do now is set a good example.

You should teach her responsibility and moderation. Find her a gram, give it to her and smoke a bowl with her. She will literally absorb you, and be influenced by your actions. I dunno, you could just say "Nah, I can't/am not going to get you weed." or you could realize she'll find it elsewhere and smoke with those people, better you the older brother role model, than an immature irresponsible young crowd or a degenerate dealer.

It certainly is a sticky situation however... before anything else I'd try to tell her she is too young and should wait until she is at least 16 years old to start smoking... Assuming she hasn't started smoking then you can teach her now that marijuana requires responsibility and right now she should just be young and care free, don't worry about it and in a few years she can enjoy a toke along with other young adult stuff that requires a tad big more maturity.

About 99% of the time that I agree with a post, I think: "That's exactly how I would have worded it!"

This is one of those rare instances that opened my mind to a different perspective.

I love it: she will likely smoke regardless of what you say, so take the opportunity to teach her how to do it correctly and maturely.

Great post, spiral. (although i did omit your last paragraph muahaha)

Try reminding her that her brain is still in the early years of forming and its best not to mess with it by introducing any foreign chemicals (be it alcohol, thc, etc.)

Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but I don't think I'd have accepted this sort rationalization at 13.

If you didn't smoke until you were older, just tell her that and make her wait the same. I have no solution for the part where she intends to narc on you but that is definately a no-no. Just talk to her and get her to realize she should not be smoking right now.

HehTheUrr

Even if she does narc, what is she going to say to your parents? "I asked HydroChronic to score me some bud, and he said no! -Pout-" I'm thinking that wouldn't go down too well with your folks

I would ask her how long she's been smoking, why she wants to smoke... Sit down, be sincere, and show that you're genuinely concerned that she wants to use marijuana at such a young age. Tell her it's not something to be "cool", and it must be used responsibly.

I wouldn't actually smoke with her, or score her bud, but I would definitely give her a talk about using marijuana responsibly, and maybe who to avoid... (You don't want her ending up in a bad situation with a dealer. Something tells me if she threatens to narc on him it won't end as easily as it can with you) Just give her the info, but not the materials

imFADED

Very good advice. I would not supply her with any herb and have a heart to heart talk about the whole situation. And I would not stress the narcing because it does involve the fact that she was trying to score some weed.

Sec

Well, You have already stated you started smoking when you wre 14, so you can't be a hypocrit if you don't help her start at 13.

You have already been caught by your teacher and failed a drug test given by your parents, so they know you at least smoked in the past few months. You also steal from you Grandfather.

Why in the hell are you afraid of your 13 year old sister? She can't do anything to you that you haven't already done to yourself.
