kids and head shops...

So this past sunday a new head shop opened up and was giving away a free pipe with every purchase. While there we ran into my chicks bro who had his kid with him. The kid is close to 2 years old.
I couldn't believe it. I would never bring my kid with me to a shop, let alone inside. This is unwanted attention... All the idiot pot heads in the shop didn't seem to mind though. This shit blew my mind...
I know its just glass, but as a parent I deem this extremely irresponsible and careless and as a shop I would have found it unprofessional with unknown outcomes and would have asked them to remove the kid...
As we were leaving a guy came in with his kid. 6 years old at the latest.
So... What do you think?

Well.. it's good you are so concerned about the youngins.. but this is probably the last thing I'd be worried about with my kid though..

I'd be more worried about un wanted attention. Who's to say some bitchy soccer mom sees you leave the shop with your kid and calls it in. My bro in law always has shit on him... This is texas. You can still be charged here. I don't even think its decriminalized yet.
Until its legal here, you need to hide it as much as possible. No weed leaf shirts, no 420 hats, and especially no kids in a head shop. All it takes is one wrong person to see you.

I also couldn't believe the shop didn't ask him to remove the kid.
Side note...
I live in a ghetto ass side of town and all 3 cats running the store were white goofy pot heads and were no older than 24. The store owner was a kid himself.
No cameras and a shit load of exspensive glass and other exspensive shit. They were right off the hwy too.
If this was 10 years ago I would have called up a few guys and we would have robbed them first thing in the morning. 5 minutes is all you need. 4 sets of handcuffs and 4 pillow cases...
I am no longer that shitty person though... I do give it a month or 2 before they are robbed.

im probably going to encourage my kid to think for himself and understand what things are at a young age. I feel like it will be best to expose him to things that life has to offer and let him make his own decisions.
but in the current state of society I wouldn't bring him into a headshop because they are providing a service id be using and I wouldn't want to jeopardize their business. its just a respectful thing to do and common sense.
however, I don't see a problem with it.
and yeah that setup sounds really ignorant. they probably aren't involved in much criminal activity to know better. ive done some crazy shit and that sounds way too easy of a score, things like that are enticing to criminals.

i honestly see no point in hiding marijuana use from children.. whether it be smoking around them, or letting em come with you to the headshop. i really dont give a fuck.

I fail to see the problem.... there is no DRUGS in these store. they are just pipes and glass. The attitude towards pot use may be quite different here then in texas tho. I dont see any problem with it.
And I agree with dmta, i see kids in liquor stores, and i think thats worse.
true story: when i was like 22 i was buy some supplies at a head shop. this kid 17-18 was trying to buy a scale.... the cashier totally wigged out. said she wouldn't sell him a scale without ID (very rudely). So i bought that exact scale. called the kid over (he was sitting on his skateboard across the street).and sold him his scale.
I started selling in high school so i felt for him, no one wants a "eyeballed" gram

Yeah I dont see the problem
I mean, I wouldnt take my 4-5 year old into one but I dont find it appalling
A 2 year old wont remember anything anyways about being in a headshop, and there's nothing illegal going on anyways... it's just another store to a kid

I don't see anything wrong with smoking, I just don't see any good in introducing it to kids on the level that it is now. Its still a mind altering drug.
Its not as bad as alcohol or cigs, but do you really think 12 and 13 year olds need to be smoking? I wish I would have waited until I was at least 18.
I'm not going to lie to my kids. I will tell them all the truths. I will also be upset if they start smoking at a young age.
The thc% is so much higher now a days... I have years of smoking exp and if I were to take just 1 hit, I'd be fucked for hours. I can't even imagine these younger kids...

If and when I'm cursed with a bastard child, I won't hide my smoking. My toking family members never did. I just thought it was tobacco.
So no I guess I wouldn't care.

Why should that mean it isn't real?
