it's all the same in my book, recreation drug use is a stupid and self destructive choice regardless of wether the law criminalezes it or not. since you can not OD on pot I guess that, but then again a hangover would make it easier to punish my son.
-
neither, but I'd come down harder on them for pot 'cuz it's illegal at all ages.
-
neither would be best. children really should not do either. they would be in trouble if they did either one. its not a choice. they dont make the choice. i dont make the choice.
-
I would rather my kids become doctors or lawyers and worked for the defense against drunk drivers and cleaned their idiot splats off the highways after drinking and driving!
-
smoke pot. legal or not alcohol is way worse. but im gonna do the best i can to see he does neither
-
Pot, I mean Alcohol can kill you.
-
Neither, but if I HAD to pick, I'd go with the alcohol. Researchers in Europe have found that marijuana use is linked to higher instances of mental illness and depression. As rates of teenage depression and mental illness are rising also, I think I'd go with the alcohol. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/05/08/AR2008050803004.html

If I had to choose, alcohol. It's not illegal and it's something that can be controlled and done with family (wine with a meal, etc). My child can't do either so I'm safe!!!
-
If I had children id prefer they got drunk and slowly killed their brain cells rather smoking pot.
-
I would prefer weed over alcohol for I have see the damage alcohol does.
-
Drink alcohol. And wine, preferably, accompanied by food.
-
None to be honest. But if i had to chose i'll say pot, because at least with pot, i feel the person tends to be less aggressive,tired and most times sleepy......It's recovery will be easier than drinking....I don't recommend any!

I am not a parent, and although I probably had a far from normal childhood, here's what my parents thought of the subject. I was allowed to drink from a young age (in moderate amounts, aka a sip of dads beer, a sip of mom's wine) When I was a teen and started highschool, my dad told me that if I planned to drink, he'd rather me do it at home where he could make sure I didn't get into trouble. A year or so later, he informed me that if I were to do weed he would rather me do it at home and have him provide it so that he could make sure it wasn't laced. Some may say that it is not good parenting, but at least he realized I was going to do it whether he approved or not, and he would rather be able to keep me safe in my adolescent adventures. I definitely appreciate it.

How about NEITHER ? With what either of those items can do to the brain and body .. No one "NEEDS" either alcohol or pot .... certainly NOT children .
