I think it's a very interesting story and will be most interested in seeing exactly how Jeb and "W" react.

With sadness. They're parents. How would you react? They can't ground her!

I would react the same way that any father would react to a child with an admitted substance abuse problem: I would continue to love and support her and try to get her whatever help she needs. I would not support getting the government morality squad to destroy her life; her future prospects; take away her property and children. I would not support sending her to a government rape camp., etc. You know, just like any normal loving parent.

However, our normal loving parental law makers, such as the Bushes, support doing that very thing to over 700,000 pot possesors every year in the U.S., unless one of the possessors happens to be their own children. Then they excuse themselves for rescuing their children from the grinder because "that is what any normal loving parent would do!" The public will just have to understand their loving motives in rescuing their friends and family while continuing to "make an example" of nasty "drug addicts" and "potheads".

If love and leniency is good enough for their kids, it's good enough for mine. If my kid has to fry (I don't actually have kids), so does theirs!
