Man grew pot so he could be a "cool dad" to his teen son
Did he ever consider taking the boy to a baseball game instead? (Salt Lake Tribune)May 29, 2009 | Permalink

Aw...how cute, what a great way to bond with your son. Gee dad, can I be a loser like you when I grow up?
Hey son, look at the bruises on my hips from where my cellmate held me.....cool huh?

Hey dad, do you want to play catch in the back yard? Do you want to play golf? How about let's do some fishing? Mybe we can give the car a tune up that you said it needed.
Ah cool, you want to roll a doob and smoke it...you really are the coolest dad on the block!

Wouldn't it have been easier to just play Halo together?
If Dad really wanted to embark on a manly gardening project with his son, they could have grown habaneros and had a hot pepper-eating contest at the end of summer.

The first thing that popped into my head was that old anti-drug PSA where the dad was holding the box of drugs yelling at the kid asking where he learned it, and the kid yells, "You, all right? I learned it by watching you!"'
Anyone else remember that?

I remember that d'ep. I've used that phrase a number of times on my mother and usually get a good laugh out of her. Because it's true.

Speaking of PSAs, my fave was the one where " Iwork more, so I can do more coke, so I can work more, so I can do more coke"...
We need more productive people like that!
At least the man had a job!

Hey Dad, is it OK to bring my teacher home to smoke a few then have sex?
Sure son.
Thanks Dad! You're the coolest!

Child endangerment? Well, I guess they would be eating too many salty chips together and end up with high blood pressure.

I gotta tell you, as a teenager in the early 80's, EVERY ONE of my friends smoked pot, everyone. My sis and I had a big bag of seeds in a baggie in our dresser, along with a pipe or two. A few of my friends and my sis and I went into my house to find my mother and a friend's mother in the kitchen smoking a bowl of pot seeds. First we were shocked, then somewhat amused, because they wanted to be "cool" and see what the big deal with weed was. My mother and friends mother COULDN'T BELIEVE that we would actually smoke that "horrible sh*t", is what the term my mother used. We really didn't have the heart to tell her that you don't actually SMOKE the seeds. But anyway, that was almost 30 years ago. Back then, my mother wouldn't have gone to the slammer. They just would have taken away her bag of seeds and that crappy pipe that the bowl fell off of all the time.
