At what age should I show my child around my father in law's small vineyard?

Would anyone freak out if I took my kid on a tour of the vineyards and then showed them the barrels of wines that are aging on the racks? There's nothing wrong as long as they don't drink any wine, right?

At what age would it be cool for me to let my kid help out at home in the small craft beer setup I have in the garage? They're really into plants and would get a kick out of helping with the hops and grains that go into the beer. There's nothing wrong with them helping out making craft beer, as long as they don't drink any, right?

How fast would the Department of Family and Children Services remove my child from my custody and prosecute me if word got out that I let them help me in my grow room where I tinker with an amount of plants that are currently legal in my state? As long as I don't let them consume any cannabis, it should still be cool right?

Imagine where we'll be in ten years. Legal weed has let the genie out of the bottle. In the near future, there'll be no stigma to crafting your own home cannabis.

If you tell me that I'm insane and that it will always be taboo to let your kid help cultivate legal weed, I'd ask you how then in a few years Florida has gone from completely illegal to possess or consume cannabis to the point where the repuke governor just signed legislation that allows the state'a current 200,000 approved medical users ( of which I'm one) to smoke cannabis along with consuming vapes, edibles, tinctures... Flower will be in stores by Summer, if not sooner.

Yes we cannabis!

If I ever did grow anything, I'd be the first to legally do it in my family.

Every little bit of this country will have to be legal before we will ever even discuss it. They are trying to get medical marijuana for us but ONLY for vets, at least for some time. This state is about a stupid over this kind of stuff as I have ever seen. I even heard that one of the members of the R party tried to turn the state dry again with the old law that nobody could drink flying over the state! Still fighting CBD even though it has no THC in it.

I love many things about my state but the sheer stubbornness to hang onto old and stupid things like this just make me want to pull my hair out.

We did, however, just make the state a hemp producer. Waiting....
