Living in the boating capital of the world also means there's 'gonna be a lot of competition. I would think that you would want whatever competitive edge you can get. Put it this way, if I was a yaht owner and needed the kind of work you provided - I'm pretty sure I'd trust the dude without the conviction for drug possesion or known weed habit. And I woudl certainly think you would be in no position to refuse work. That's just down right stupid. Just sayin'.

SJ is right. You'll see once you have responsibilities and a family to consider and help support.

Stop trying to scare the kid. When he's in his 40's running his own boating business, no one is going to care that he got a conditional discharge when he was 20.

Obviously repeat offenses and jail time are not good, but he seems to be responsible and have things in order right now.

Seems to me like you are the one feeding the "little league mentality." Let the kid live his life and learn from his mistakes. Let him experience the positives and negatives and come to his own conclusions about his own life.

It's ridiculous reading all these "be very, very afraid" posts because a 20 year old kid smokes a little pot. Sorry but in all likelihood his job career is not going to be ruined.

Using fear to spread a message only works on the weak minded.

Again, not true.

I know a few people who got in trouble with the law for pot while in college, and all are working professionals right now. It made ZERO impact on their careers.

First time offenders get a slap on the wrist.

can you walk and chew gum at same time?

we said MAY hurt you. Of course some employers/people dont care about minor infractions on your record. But the higher you go up the food chain you MAY get nailed by it. Law school, med school, Bigtime companies, individual business owners who may be uber conswrvative etc etc..

Not 100%, but it MAY cause a problem.

Its just a warnin to him, that it COULD bite him..

Its advice any parent would give to thier kid. I dont know many good parents who would say 'go out and break law cause it MAY not hurt you some day. The hell with Law school and med school, you can always bus tables'..

I guess so. It came across as very alarmist to me, and the reality is that he will most likely be fine and his career will not be affected.
