Parents Explain Why They Use that Good GoodParents ExplainCut

- If I smoke weed when I'm a teenager, what do you think? - Well I can't be a hypocrite because I smoked when I was a teenager but I hope that you don't follow my steps. And what? (Quirky music) - Do you know what we're
going to talk about? - Not so much.
- Not really. - Do you know what drugs are? Yeah. - It's a bad thing for people to have.

- It's a bad thing for people to have? - Some drugs can be very bad if you don't need to take them and you do or if you take too much of them. - They can do bad stuff when they do that. They get in fights a lot. They can go to jail.

- Smoking can really hurt your body. So we have to be real
careful what drugs we use and when we use them. - What drugs do you know about? It's okay, you can say it. - Weed.

- Have you heard of marijuana or what some people call weed? No? It's a big plant that they grow and they roll it in a little cigarette. - A little green - I think I've seen it. - Yeah, you've seen it. - Have you ever seen people smoking? - You saw someone smoking
in the wintertime? What did you think about that? - You thought it was very cool? - Do you do it now? - I do.

(Laughs) - I've actually tried it, probably four or five times
over the last several years, marijuana. That okay? - No. - Oh. - Why did you do it? - I wanted to feel a little different.

Sort of like having a glass of wine. Why do people have a glass
of wine after dinner? - I don't know. - Well you know sometimes
life gets stressful, right? Sometimes we all have a hard time. - When I get up in the morning,
I feel this panic sometimes.

Like Oh. You did felt that feeling before, right? Like that nervousness and when I smoke, it helps me calm down and be like, okay, I
can think about my day and figure it out. - Not everybody who uses
marijuana, smokes it. Some people eat it.

- Sometimes I eat this plant, yeah. - Well, the plant doesn't taste yummy but sometimes, you know you
mix it with other things to make it taste better. - How does it make you feel? - More relaxed. - You just sit there like mellow and you wanna have some Doritos.

- Sometimes it makes me hungry. - Well, to be honest with you, I don't really know why
it makes you hungry. - Do I seem different
when I've been smoking? - I don't think so because
you've been smoking a lot. - Hard to tell? - It makes you..

- It makes me what? - Trippy.
- Trippy? - Like your vision trippy. Like when you wave your
hand, it kills like a.. It goes like a echo. - Like you see than hand like.

- Uh huh. - Okay. Yeah it doesn't do that. It doesn't affect my vision at all.

- Is it fun? - Yeah, we had a, we had a good time. Recently, I was with a couple of friends and we smoked a little and chatted and we had a nice time. - You are in trouble. - Absolutely not.

- No especially not
when you're a teenager. - Okay when you're 30. That's fair. I like that.

- 41? - Perfect. - So you have to be 21, legally to smoke marijuana in Washington. - How bout in Mexico? - I'm not sure. - When did you first try it? - Like two years ago.

- I was, I think about 14. - 14? - Hmmm hmmm. - 14. - I know.

It's way too young. Don't do that. - How? Why would grandma let you? - Grandma didn't know. I was being sneaky.

- I'm outta here. - What? He's mad at me cause I said
I smoked weed as a teenager. - When your brain is all developed. When you're an adult, it'll be okay for you to try it.

- For younger people with smaller bodies, using drugs is not safe or healthy. - Well it wouldn't be healthy
if I did it all the time. - It can make it so you
never want to leave the house or never want to go to work. So you have to be careful
to use it in a balanced way.

- Do you think that drugs
are something you're gonna do when you grow up? - No. - Why won't you do drugs? Why do you think that
you immediately said no. - Because I know it's bad. - Everybody makes mistakes
when they're a teenager.

Everybody does. And you're gonna make mistakes too. And guess what? I'll have to forgive you. - Do you think I should
do it more in the future? - No.

You'll get in more trouble. - If I do, are you gonna judge me? - Maybe. - So should I tell you
and be open and honest or should I just not tell you? - Tell me. - Okay.

- So you think you're
gonna tell me in the future if you decide to try something. - I can try. - Deal. - Hey, it's Marina from Cut.
