Parents accused of rewarding sons with pot

CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) - Police have arrested a mother and father and accused them of giving marijuana to their young sons - as a reward for good behavior.
Toni Lynn Carlson, 31, and Aaron Virgil Carlson, 23, were booked on suspicion of possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia, possessing marijuana for sale, contributing to the delinquency of minors and endangerment, police said Friday.

The couple were taken into custody Thursday night after detectives served a search warrant at their home and found a quarter-pound of marijuana.

Police said the boys - ages 12 and 11, and a 4-year-old girl - were in the care and custody of a family member.

The investigation began after authorities received tips from a neighbor about the possible usage and sale of drugs at the home, police said.

Detectives said they didn't know about the family possibly smoking marijuana together until the parents and children were interviewed.

Its a shame people see this as a bad thing. The world would be better if everyone wasn't such a bitch about drugs. Bet that neighbour will be popular when they get out of prison *gets molotovs ready*.

Whooops... :p

I don't agree with it, to be honest. It's not that I'm against smoking weed, Lord knows I'm not, but giving it to such young kids is a bit irresponsible.

Yeah, if the kids were over 16, or maybe 14, but at those ages I think you could mess the children up properly.

Comon, the parents gave children pot. I don't have a problem if adults smoke weed, they're adult, they know the consequences of doing drugs, but children aren't able to grasp that concept yet. Espically when they're 4 years old!

I personally have absolutely no Idea why people would want to use drugs.

I like to keep a clear head thank you very much...

not only that but they cause organ degeneration, increase aging, and generally make you very stupid after long term usage...

I agree. US citizens make such a big deal out of a little pot, when in fact cigarettes and alcohol pose much higher health risks and addiction rates.

However, 11 and 12 is way too young to use any of these substances. Notwithstanding the lack of the needed maturity to take these substances responsibly, they're right in the middle of puberty, and substance abuse at that critical stage of one's life can cripple growth of body and mind.
