| I was told I am a bad mother because I smoke marijuana.
Posted: 3/28/2009 6:40:41 PM | Here's what makes me a bad mother: I'm pro-legalization for marijuana and like most other legalization activists, I partake. I don't deny it or try to keep it a secret from anyone because I don't believe it's a bad thing. I have my boundries and I do respect others, most importantly my daughter. There's a time and a place for everything.
Back to the "single mother" thing... No, I'm not on welfare, foodstamps, or any other kind of government assistance (aside from my student loans).
To start with, ~ what others might say about you does in" NO WAY" make it so!
For what it worth to you, I 'd say your a "GOOD MOTHER" with a bad habit.
we all's got one! some over eat, some drive poorly, some stay up too late, yours seem to be thinking that taking a mood altering drug is not a bad thing and no one is injured by it.
If you got off of it ~ you'd fall apart ~ go to pieces ~ maybe replace it with something worse.
I'd not judge you but I would offer you this, ~ if you could stop this usage and not replace it with another bad habit , your life would be (someday) sweeter then it already is.
I know! ~ the thought scares the hell out of you~ doesn't it?
Drug becomes our friend when we have none and they don't complain or make us feel bad , but good for the moment.
Well ~ you asked.
I gave it up decades ago, ~ just didn't want it anymore ~ I was done. not sure why?
This don't happen to everyone, I just finally realized I wasn't very smart and the stuff kept making me think that I was.
I think I'm smarter now however. ~ Hmm , could be just the reality.
My memory is back ~ I can find things ~ I can remember names, faces, times, dates and places for many years and 60 seconds. Life is simple, not complicated or confusing anymore.
People depend on me and respect my words and thoughts.

Posted: 3/29/2009 8:54:51 AM | | Does that make you a bad mother,no but it sure as hell eleminates you from the good mother category. i was a child who was brought up around weed smokers, so even though I never thought about smoking weed when the chance presented it self i didn't hesitate to jump on it, that was 12 years ago and I can't stop when i try and it makes me feel bad about myself, good thing i don't have kids, might be from all the weed smoking. Bottom line yo should try your damnest not to bring anything around a child that would hold them back. And weed can stop you from getting a good job, good women, and it makes you lazy an neglect important things. With all the good things you doing to help your child progress why show them that that's that exceptable let her decide that on her own, Go smoke in the garage!!!! | |

Posted: 3/29/2009 9:26:39 AM | A few years back in NYC,a Jugde Sat on the Superium Court jugdeing this very issue about asingle mother of two who had been caught smoking on her way home from college.the judghe took statements and deleberated for about an hour,The lady in the Judges oppion had not done anything wrong enough for the state to take her children away . I truely believe that eveyone opion will shift back and forth over this issue,especialy since not all ofd the info's out there, My final point is that anything that takes presidence in your life over your relationship with your significant other or children is Bad for you,Would you approve if your child started to do that's the real
question that you have to ask yourself. | |

Posted: 3/29/2009 12:56:58 PM | | Second hand smoke is dangerous to children regardless of the source. My advice is--Don't smoke it--damages your lungs too--eat it-- make brownies or cookies and keep them away from the children. Enjoy your high without damaging your lungs. | |

Posted: 3/29/2009 3:53:49 PM | | hi... doing drugs is illegal and as a role model do not be surprised if she has some confusion about obeying rules... mind altering substances make you ~altered~ and parenting is an important enough position where you are NOTthe only one affected by your use of mind altering substances.. hopefully you do it when you are away from your child, hopefully you are completely down from your high when you have charge over her .. to me a really good parent would be completely alert and present for their child, at least until the child is able to care for themself in a emergency situation...Op, for the record, people dont drive, cook or parent better when they are high... blessings, warmly Mona | |

Posted: 3/31/2009 8:25:36 PM | So I got thinking about something.
When I was in school, there were kids who set themselves to different standards regarding their grades.
Some kids strived for the highest achievement they could attain. Grades didn't matter, they did their honest best. Some got near perfect scores, some would even fail grades, but they all did their best.
Some kids slacked off as long as they got an A grade, because that was good enough.
Some kids slacked off and relaxed as long as they did good enough to pass the course. If they failed, there was a problem. If they passed, no problem. Simple, why give it more thought than that, right?
I wonder if the OP figures as long as she doesn't get a failing grade raising a human being, then thats good enough, f**k it, time to go off and smoke a joint already.
I wonder how many other people figure thats a perfectly acceptable attitude to have when raising a human being. | |

Posted: 3/31/2009 10:05:22 PM | | I really hope this thread is some fool's idea of a joke. But if it isn't, you are not only a bad mother but also an addict. That's because the right to smoke pot gets more rent in your head than the rights of your child. Can't get addicted to marijuana? You can get addicted to anything. Read this post with 6 months of clean time under your belt and be sure to hit the garbage can when you make yourself sick. | |

Only if the government is a parent and an adult is its child for that is the only applicability of such a 'rule' dictating what a person can or cannot consume. | |

Posted: 4/1/2009 7:00:41 PM | No you are not a bad mom!!! There is nothing wrong with you choices , as they have been presented. If you are arrested , with a small amount it is not a felony. Anyone who has been to college , has tried it. Clinton was even elected , because he tied himself to it. It is like a train that is in motion, or government , doesn't want to admit they were wrong , hence it is still illegal. I'll climb off my soap box ,happy 4:20 mustride | |

Posted: 4/2/2009 10:30:26 AM | | You are NOT a bad mother, dont even pay any attention to this guy. From what i read, you sound like a very good mother. There is a time and place for everything. So, girl, no worries, ignore the small minded people, you know who your true friends are. | |

Posted: 4/7/2009 10:16:38 PM | dustie has left the building. Dear Heart, doing illegal drugs, do in fact make you a bad mother. Stand in line, your nominated for "Neglectful Mother of the Year". You need to go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass "GO", do not collect $200. Stupid people on here, with your fried out brains, and addictions, and forms of escapism. If life is so bad, and you need to get high to escape, It's time to rethink your situation, get an effing grip on reality. Leave the dope alone. Get a job, get a life, get a hobby. Those are not illegal alternatives. You break the law, they take your baby. "The Dingo ate your baby" stupid crap people try to pull to validate their weaknesses and failures.
Maybe the police have patrolled this site, and pinned OP. You reckon? | |

Posted: 4/8/2009 12:44:40 PM | Kinda off topic
I glanced through AB 390 and read this paragraph. Read the second sentence. Do you think this means that one would not be able to cultivate it to make clothing? Do you think this is to protect cotton? I dont mean to go to conspiracy land here as I just want to clarify.
25400. For purposes of this chapter, "marijuana" means all parts
of the plant Cannabis sativa L., whether growing or not; the seeds
thereof; the resin extracted from any part of the plant; concentrated
cannabis; and every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative,
mixture, or preparation of the plant, its seeds or resin. It does not
include the mature stalks of the plant, fiber produced from the
stalks, oil or cake made from the seeds of the plant, any other
compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of
the mature stalks (except the resin extracted therefrom), fiber, oil,
or cake, or the sterilized seed of the plant that is incapable of
germination. | |

Posted: 4/8/2009 1:26:26 PM | So let me ask you all this:
You are a mother in CA who is going through cancer treatment. You are PRESCRIBED this substance. For all of you who say it's bad and illegal. Hmmm the doctor with the PHD didn't think so. Neither does the state if they are allowing it to be a legalized constrolled substance. So doctors and legislators are wrong now too? What an interesting concept. | |

Posted: 4/8/2009 1:37:15 PM | I believe you don't smoke it around your daughter no matter what anyone else says. I am for legalizing it as well, but I don't partake in it.
You are a good mother for showing her how independent and hard working you are. You aren't blowing it in her face and video taping it.
There many jerk in this world sorry you had to get one. Hold your head up and move on.  | |

Posted: 4/8/2009 8:05:43 PM | well I think smoking pot and parenting are two different issues.Maryjane is illegal and you choose to partake in the herb...so you might be viewed as a lawbreaker..low social morals.....rebuke authority...type of person. When your daughter is older and may want to try a splif...what would you tell her? This answere might tell you a bit about yourself...
As for your parenting skills ,you sound like a picture perfect mother who loves her child and does the best that she can for her...
i'm far from perfect, have my vices..lol...i do know that all of your interactions will be picked up by your child and imbreded into them as they grow and soak in everything around them. M y children are like sponges..lol.. ( in a good way)..every thing i do is picked up by them and it soaks into thier brains which makes them the person they grow up to be. ..D. | |

Posted: 4/8/2009 8:53:25 PM | You sound like a great mom, but I dont think smoking Marijuana is a good thing. Smoking might be ok when your young without kids, but when you have kids you enter a new part of life where you have to let bad habits go. I dont think you want your kid growing to smoke Maryjane.
Some people might compare Mary jane to alcohol but both are no good for you. especially with kids around. You dont want your kid to have an accident around the house, just because you were high and not aware of whats going on.
You sound like a good mom, but that dosnt make smoking the Ganja right.
Thats just my opinion, but then again who knows these things :) | |
