But I always told my mom, listen, I'm going to smoke anyway. Why don't you just let me do it in the house? But she couldn't get past it. Like, hey, listen, it's illegal. And I got it. It's illegal. And I understand why she did it. But I'm like, mom, I blamed her, which is pretty selfish of me. But it was like, hey, it's also a way for me to remain safe.

I mean, of course, we couldn't come to the... from the terms on that. But now that the conversation is changing about marijuana in different states, that could be an option for parents, right? It couldn't be an option for me before in New York, but now it could be an option for parents depending on where you live. So that's what parents need to understand what safety actually looks like.

Like we said before, what does safety look like for you? All right, your kid is probably going to get a gun anyway, whether it be illegally, without your permission or whatever, because how many people in the house... I know my parents didn't know if I had a gun in the house, you know? How many kids are out here?

I know my parents didn't know if I had a gun in the house, you know? How many kids are out here?

Their parents don't even know if they have a gun because they're trying to respect it. Obviously, they're not going in their room. They don't want to ruffle any feathers, but we're not being honest with the people that love us the most, you know? Yeah, yeah.

So it's going to take a lot of it's going to take a lot of advocacy work and a lot of people, like I said, that identify with these intersection identities to say, hey, listen, I want to teach you and I want to teach you and I want to teach your kid how to be safe with guns. I need to teach you how to teach your kids how to be safe with a gun.

Maybe it's about working with the right going into these schools, teaching the educators how to talk to their how to talk to them. to the parents about gun safety and getting the parents to go to classes so they could teach their kids themselves and give them an introduction and then bring them out of the house. It's going to take a lot of work, but I think it's possible.

You know, I'm just happy that I'm able to have some conversations like these because I couldn't even imagine myself having conversations like these a few years ago. So I was thankful to have this conversation, this discussion. I'm happy to meet people like you and Tom and Clarence along the way to help me shape the person that I want to be.

And I just hope that this can inspire other people to have conversations and to get involved and to start to volunteer. You know, it's a great thing for us to have on our minds, especially now.
