You fucked up someone's life because of a plant.
I have received only 1 negative comment on the situation with Sebastian, I just got it.
A guy who used the name "no way", but has a valid email address, Gregory Rice, said this;
No fucking way was this a good idea. The kid/s already applied to
college. How long until he graduates, less than a month? But now, he
can take another year of high school, get put on probation, and you say
serves him right, like he was really trying to harm anybody. He was
probably just joking around with Sebastian anyways. Now he/s gonna get
fucked like nobody/s business. I can/t believe you decided to fuck up
someone/s life because of a plant. You/re all a bunch of dick wads.
fuck you.
I replied to him with the following;
It wasn't a joke. This kid has been trying to get my son to smoke all fucking year.
He would pull him into the construction hallways, light up, and try to get my son to smoke it.
He had tried sliding a joint in one of his books one day, invited him to his house to smoke, offered to walk home with him and smoke.
You don't know the situation, you don't know how serious the situation was.
Believe me, we agonized over what to do with this, it wasn't an easy decision at all.
But my son and I had a choice, turn this kid in, or risk my own son getting caught with it and expelled.
I nipped that problem in the bud, sorry if you don't approve, but if this kid valued his future for going to college, he shouldn't have persisted with his attempts to push on my son.
I know it's just a plant, I don't care if people smoke weed, I really don't.
Most of my friends do, I used to, the last time I took a hit was December 2005.
But it was my choice, an adult choice.
I don't think pot should be illegal at all.
We bust pot growers and sellers, users, and we throw them in jail over "a plant', when there are far bigger dangers in this world the ATF could be cracking down on, but it's not for kids.
If adults want to toke away, I have no problem with that, but I do have a problem with some asshat pushing drugs onto my kids.
They are kids, they can't make that kinda decision that has serious legal consequences if they get caught.
To teens, it's all fun and games, they don't realize just how fucked they'd be if they got caught with it.
Expulsion from school is just the tip of the iceberg.
And ya know what, if this was a joke like you say, the kid won't have any thing on him when they get the dogs, he won't be in any trouble if he has nothing.
They have the dogs at the school today, they are taking them room to room just like they do every year for the whole 4/20 holiday, and they let the dogs walk amongst the students.
If this kid has it, the dogs will bark, if he doesn't, he's free and in the clear.
The only thing the cops know is that this kid might be holding.
I'm not the one who fucked up this kid's future, he is if he's holding a bag of weed today.
I'm not the one who chose to push on a freshman all year, try to force him to smoke all year.
I'm not the one who said I'm giving you a bag of weed and a pipe to smoke it out of, and I'm putting it in your back pack.
I'm not the one who may be holding that bag of weed today, and neither will my son.
If this kid has it, he will be caught.
He will have made the choice today to bring it to school with him.
He made his choices when he kept trying to push it, insisting, telling my son what he was going to do.
If he has it on him, he made that decision himself.
If the dogs find it, then it's all on him.
He should have thought about his future before pushing all year.

I can't believe this person had the guts to say that crap to you....obviously he/she doesn't understand the situation at hand. ITs not your SON who is doing the pushing, it is the other kid doing it and he is the one messing up his future. Your only protecting your child, that person really needs a smack in the head already.

The guy sounds like a complete crackpot. One of the reasons I do not have a blog (even though I think they're lots of fun) is because of attracting nut jobs. I personally wouldn't even bother replying to the guy, because arguments rarely change anyone's mind. Of COURSE you did the right thing with the school situation. ...any sane person would have done the same thing.

I think we have a winner of the asshat of the year award there! Either that or a pot head. Yes, it is just a weed, but it's a weed that, whether we like it or not, has been declared illegal. And NO ONE has the right to push it on any one, let alone a child! It's called common sense, something that neither the "pusher" or the commentor seem to have.

People are such assholes, I'd be handling this situation exactly the same way as you are. What you and Sebastian are doing is right, and mature.
It's a plant, sure - but in this country its an ILLEGAL plant. Like you said, adults can choose to smoke up if they want to "face the consequences" but kids? Esp. if another kid is pushing? That's crap.
This dude obviously has not been paying attention to what's going on. But, you know what they say - "Opinions are like assholes" lol ....

What a joke - it's YOUR fault that Smokey McPotpants might get in trouble? Yeah - HELLO!

But it's perfectly okay to let Sebastian's life be fucked up, should he get caught with the weed in his backpack, right? This asshole makes NO sense to me.
The other kid made his bed, let him lie in it. Not your problem!

I couldn't have said it better myself. Fingers are crossed for Sebastian!

Yeah, I agree with you Kat. It's the kid's choice for bringing this upon your son and trying to get him to smoke. So it's going to be his fault for making stupid decisions and it's not related to you at all. Man, sometimes people like Mr. Asshat should keep their mouth shut.

Good move, Kat. Theposter is probly a dopehead himself

I highly suspect that the commenter is a happy little pothead himself, and since he sees no wrong in it he can't comprehend the severity and gravity of the situation.
Honestly, it's alright for your son's life to get messed up by a plant, one he doesn't use and doesn't want to use, but it's not for the child who is? Talk about an idiot's logic.
