Damn... the question is, after that for show and tell, how do you keep the stadards she just set?

Five year old KNOWING how to make them tho? Sounds like they need to do some investigation... I couldn't make a damn thing when I was five, so if I knew how to make a bong.. um.. wha?

I am both amused and horrified at this. As an avid Poke Smotter I take offense at the authorities homing in on this incident. On the other hand... I wonder if her mom can get any good dope.

I blame it on society.

Someone needs to take that child away from her dumbass crackhead parents. Wanna bet she learned that trick at home?

Or maybe she is just a child prodigy in disguise!

Aw...c'mon. This is the 21st century. She learned it in daycare.

Social services definitely needs to do a check of that girl's household. There's no way that someone there didn't teach her that.

Though I must admit I find this very funny in a sad way.

RAMONES!!!

that is funny, but not so funny that a 5 year old knows it, i wonder who told her...

wow thats funny. I didn't even know what a bong was, or pot was at 5 lol.

YourNeverThere

see... do you ever see 5 year old bring beer bongs to school? or other drinking paraphenalia(ap?)? it's becuase pot is such a taboo, so that bringing it in to school is such a "big thing" if it was legalzed, then it would just be a thing is cigarettes, sure kids still think they are the coolest think but it wears off, and a 5 year old doesn't really think that cigarettes are cool, not yet anyway.

What? Even if her parents are the ones from whom she learned this from, nobody needs to take the kid away. I doubt any parent, in their right mind, would allow a child to smoke marijuana. Perhaps the child was in the room when the parents were doing this and picked it up, in which case the parents should tell the kid that marijuana isn't for her and is an adult thing, and they should smoke weed away from her. But taking the kid away from her parents because her parents smoke herb? That's going to mess the kid up 1000x more than having parents who consume a plant.

Kaos

That is really sad, and even if her parents didn't teach her that, they are doing something seriously wrong in raising their child.

sixate

Nothing, it's just a saying I use all the time.
Basically, I call everyone I know who does any drug a crackhead.
So, what I meant is that I'm sure she learned that trick from her irresponsible weed smoking parents who obviously don't give a fuck about their child because they're too busy getting high. Better?

So you think it's fine that a kid watches their parents get high? Many of my friends in high school smoked their first joint from stealing their parents stash. They all learned it from home, and once a few of them turned 16 they started smoking it with their parents...... I wonder why they're all 26-27, living at home, and have no jobs. Isn't it obvious? The best thing that coulda happened to them would've been to be removed from their worthless parents so maybe, just maybe they'd actually have a chance at doing something with their now worthless lives.

IC3

This makes her parents crackheads?

Parents can't be blamed for everything...I know that's where everyone turns thier heads too.

But parents can't watch over thier kids 24/7..It's impossible. Somebody is to blame, But don't be so quick to blame the parents every time.

Nobody is perfect..I don't care who you are.

Loki

this reminds me of a joke i once heard from a five year old.

I cant remember the exact joke, but people having sex was involved in some way. anyway, while i heard it, i got the distinct impression that she had no idea what "having sex" meant. but she heard it from another friend/overheard a joke told between older people.

It's probaby the same thing here. She saw someone making a bong, and it probably looked interesting enough for show and tell. it would be interesting to find out if she called it a bong or knew what it was used for, but im guessing not, because the article didnt specifically mention it.

Sapper

Yikes - this is kind of dark actually ...

No shit. I smoked a lot of pot as a youth and was lucky enough to "figure it out." Now, I'm the only one out of my highschool "close" friends that doesn't smoke. Come to think about it, I'm the only one of them with an education and a career rather then a job. What a bunch of dorks you all are who insist smoking weed is just fine. Not for your children, come on... give them the chance.

Sad_Machine

I never said that a child should see their parents smoke weed. In fact, I said " they should smoke weed away from her." ...and on the topic of your friends, that doesn't happen to everyone. There are truly a lot of very successful pot-smokers out there, a lot of which you wouldn't suspect to be.

Pretty much, if someone is stupid before they start smoking, they're going to still be stupid when they're a smoker. However, most people don't end up washed-up losers.

bernadette

it's just sad that a 5 yr old has half a clue about a bong.
and maybe she didn't learn how to make a pop bottle bong from her parents (who cares who taught her this nifty trick), the parents should be interested enough to KNOW what their child is taking to school for show-n-tell. i can't imagine any parent on either side of the fence wanting their kid to show the class how make a cheap bong.

I disagree. I think most people who smoke weed on a regular basis don't know who they are. I believe most people who smoke weed on a regular basis are hiding from reality. I do agree that there are a lot of financially successful pot smokers in this world. I do not believe that they are mentally stable. I think they are slaves to the drug and only interested in creating a flase sence of reality of the world once they get home from work. I do believe most pot smoking lifers don't have much to contribute to society.

sixate

Agreed, and I'm glad that you can say it in a kind manner because I can't. I've just had too many negative experiences with people who do drugs to have a nice thing to say about drug abuse.

MacGnG

that could just have been ADD medicine.

well thats still not good, but this is kinda ridiculous.

battlemouth

for some reason i doubt it was ADD medicine

YourNeverThere

Ruprex, This whole debate and every single nearly identical debate that goes on here comes down to the fact that you, or sixate, or whoever, don't like drugs, and other people do. Sixate has been clear and articulate about why he doesn't many many times and I can respect that. Granted, I don't live where you live, so I have no idea, but really, lets break it down.
I guess that was hyberbole, trying to overstate for emphasis, you think people who smoke drugs are dumb...


For sure for some people it is an escape, it's been proven, as far as anything concerning pot as been proven, that it's not physically addictive. So, it's not that they NEED to smoke it, not physically anyway. So I guess you don't drink, or really do anything distracting at all, because escaping reality is something that we all do.

Ya there are tons of financially successful potheads, but mentally unstable? really? because they get high? You think that becuase they get stoned, they are mentally unstable...
Man, you start off with some hyperbole, and I can only wish that this part was too, I mean, 'Slaves to the drug'? I've smoked pot for a long time, many of the people I know older and younger do, and I've never once met a 'slave' to it, ever. And you don't believe that we have anything to contribute to the society? do you like Jimmy Hendricks? Many many writters, now and in history, there are pot smokers in almost every niche that this world has to offer, I'm pritty sure they have lots to offer.

Dayam.

I couldn't make a coke bottle bong if I tried.

Nefir

When you've got no obligations to support, tech, and protect another human being that can't do it on its own, feel free to do all the drugs your poor body can stand. But when you're raising a child, that child needs you at your best, and your drug habit needs a pause.

This is a sign of the fact that many parents today have their priorities REALLY screwed up, cause the home is the only place this kid could have learned how to make a bong at her age.

The government is doing the right thing in investigating dealing in schools. Schools and homes with dependent children are no place for drugs, IMHO...

Personally, I think a lot of people who smoke weed actually have a deeper knowledge of who they are. Sure, there are some people that smoke weed to get "messed up," but marijuana also inspires you to look at things from a different point of view and different state of mind. One can discover many insightful things about themselves and the world around them when high. Marijuana helps one to relax and in that time, you do a lot of thinking. On the topic of smokers not being mentally stable, I really have no idea where your coming from on that one. And as for smokers not having much to contribute to society, art and music go hand-in-hand with drugs, as does most literature.

twotimesadingo

Many things make me reject drug use, but this argument alone really hammers home my decision on the subject.

People (and I'm generalizing; I'm referring to two standard deviations on the bell curve) don't smoke pot to ponder existence, they smoke it to get high. If you really want to argue otherwise -- regarding the proportion, at least -- then you're deluding yourself. I don't care how you want to rationalize it for yourself (you're doing something illegal, and there's no way around it), but don't peddle your veiled, false logic here. You tell me that it allows you to look at life in a different manner, from a different perspective; how 'bout you go on a fucking hunger strike, then? Not as enjoyable, is it?

It's all about integrity. I drink fermented beverages. I don't claim to do that because there's a delicate point between total inebriation and stone cold sobriety that lowers my inhibitions to a level which allows me to live a fuller, more enjoyable life and consider things in greater detail; I do it to get drunk, or to nurse something with some friends, or to dance like a white boy should. I'm honest with myself.
Yeah, I've come to some pretty strange conclusions when my mind is muddled with drink, but I'm not gonna lie through my teeth and tell you that's why I do it...

Beat those parents with a shovel, I say. Their self-involved activity is nothing if not detrimental to their child. Their inability to monitor such simple activities as show-and-tell, and secret their illegal activities from their child, show that they are still babies themselves.
