Parents confess to their children that they use cannabis

Cannabis is now legal in 9 U.S. states and in Uruguay, and its medical use is authorized in 29 U.S. states and, closer to home, in several European countries (Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, among others). It will also be legal in Canada effective July 2018.

The legalization of cannabis also gives many users the opportunity to come out of the closet and openly acknowledge their use. As a parent, there inevitably comes a time when you need to talk to your children about the dangers and effects of cannabis.

The Cut, a channel we've already seen for its shows about grandmothers or former police officers After trying cannabis for the first time, he produced a video in which parents explain to their children that they use cannabis.

The children's reactions range from curiosity to harsh judgment, with some of them being quite surprising.

And even though it might seem strange to talk to your child about cannabis (think about nicotine and alcohol, which they’re exposed to from a very young age), it’s actually the best way to protect them. As as Geraint Osborne points out, a professor of sociology at the University of Alberta, says that the best protection against any form of substance abuse is knowledge and education. Education begins at home and should start as early as possible, using language appropriate for each age group.

In short, this video may shock, intrigue, or amuse viewers, and perhaps clear the air.
