"But Dad, marijuana is just a plant..."

What if your child tells you "marijuana is a plant - it can't hurt me because it's 'natural'"?

You can say, "Poison ivy is a plant too, but I don't want you ingesting it either. Don't forget, marijuana is illegal. You can go to a juvenile detention center and/or lose your driver's license."
