Full article here Volunteers rally to clean up the Grand[snip] While the cleanup was going on, 53-year-old marijuana promoter John Turmel was nearby handing out flyers promoting his pro-pot stance. Turmel’s earlier public urging to teenagers to attend at Brant’s Crossing on Saturday at noon to “smoke a doobie” — part of pro-marijuana events around the world — also resulted in a heavy police presence. Possession of marijuana remains illegal and about 10 uniform and undercover police officers dotted the area and kept an eye out for drug use. But no one was seen smoking marijuana and no arrests were made. Turmel, who advocates the smoking of marijuana by everyone — even children and drivers — spent most of his time on Saturday speaking to small clusters of young people. Turmel’s behaviour offended Coun. John Starkey, who had spent the noon-hour serving up food to hungry volunteers fresh from three hours of community beautification. “For him (Turmel) to latch onto an event like this is the worst kind of exploitation,” Starkey said. “I didn’t see him picking up litter or doing anything productive."

Med Man I have to disagree with you here. To recruit "children" into our ranks would be no differant than Hitler's Natzi Youth Movement.
Is THAT what Turmel is promoting? Recruiting Hitler Youth???
LOL! 
Toooo many ZZZZZ's in your BuZZZZZ....SWARTHY's screed, imo...
Straining at gnats to swallow camels maybe?
Burp! It gives me spiritual indigestion!
Quote:
I am a father of three and in my world I believe those impressionable years should be respected and in no way would I ask, invite or entice any one in that age bracket to do anything.
Again, is THAT is what is going on with Turmel? Is THAT what he is doing? Corrupting impressionable youth with his paricular insanity of pushing the envelope of "pro-marijuana zeal"?
LOL!
Quote:
If you can't see the damage done by that idiots actions then you should put down the pipe and take another look.
It's definitely dumb, dumber and dumbest and not very wise to recruit the underaged, immature and/or childish babe, in such highly-charged, controversial activism, especially as hyped by the media, as marijuana is, as the many ill-informed and the brain-squashed folks, influenced by Prohibition, compliments of the bloody (and it is very violent and bloody!) WOD etc. It's something informed PARENTS, along with the "youth" in question, should decide among themselves, if it's appropriate or not, the legal, social issues etc. notwithstanding, soberly brought into the light of reason and expediancy, to be involved in any cannabis activism.
Quote:
We will win this war but it will be won with our heads held high and not by riding on the coat tails of our youth who have no business in this "field".
Age and the related maturity level etc., is probably the key criteria to weigh.
Quote:
If in fact high school kids are prone to sparking a few Im OK with that but I draw the line at exploiting them for our cause.
Exploitation of anyone, especially immature children and the underaged, is obviously a BIG NO-NO!
DUH???
It's not rocket science, is it?
Maybe it's Bong Science! lol! 
Quote:
If we cannot win without them then let's accept a graceful defeat rather than stoop to such deplorable actions.
There's lots of deplorable things that go on in this horrible, unjust and violent world, and when it comes to "deplorable actions" of some "activists", who for whatever reasons, good and/or bad, are screwing up, by the sheer weight of ignorance, stupidity and foolishness, what is that? Show and Tell! This is good... This is bad... Etc., etc., etc.,
Is there a big problem with that amongst activists?
Maybe we can discuss something more constructive to ATTACK, then that extremist, Turmel and the idiocy of advocating for underaged children, in light of the dicey aspects of the WOD and all the bullshit laws it corrupts throughout our society etc. and how it affects the cannabis plant and its users.
Like the DARE program, supposed Drug Awareness Education, and all those LIES that are manipulated and PUSHED on our children, (by cops!!!) under the ruberic of teaching wholesome Drug Education information to youth in schools etc.
Quote:
Any others who feel that it is OK to walk the line with Turmel on this issue should seek the services of a good therapist.
He might get a gang of lynching parents after him if he's messing around with immature kids, that's for sure!
Quote:
As for an age to draw the line at, each person is differant and each situation should be based on the maturity level of the individual as well as the circumstances.
What you just said should be pretty obvious.
Teen years begin with a transition from childhood to adulthood. It's a very BIG subject, in fact, what kids should or should not be "allowed" as they "grow-up".
Quote:
It is a very slippery slope and I for one feel it would serve no purpose to get the sort of negative press as was seen in today's Brantford Expositor.
It certainly got your goat, didn't it!
Quote:
I am fifty and I have made many mistakes with my three kids but to admit that now does nothing to un-ring that bell.
Keep the past as a guidepost; never a hitching post.
Quote:
I will bet that this thread will fill up with those who disagree with me and in anticipation of those responses I say again, "We have no business influencing the minds of our pre and early teenage children in this way.
So in "WHAT" way do "we" have business influencing the minds of "our" pre and early teenage children in this way?
What is this "WHAT" refering to? Activism? Promoting the use of cannabis? Passing out condoms to high school students? Promoting harm reduction alternatives? What?
Who is this "we", who would be doing the influencing of "our"...children?
Parents? Educators? The police? Politicians?
peace is of the pi,

Healing is not a crime.
