I'd rather smoke occaisionaly and be happy than be an emotional wreck like I was then
your own words
WHY do you smoke it then? | |

Responsibility is my anti-drug (dont ask me why I said that-saw that on one of those anti-drug commercials about drug use).
Ya know, the one that has the parent walking in on the kid smoking weed. The father asks where he got that(or learned that), and the kid goes, "I got it from you dad!" DOH. Slam.
I saw this commercial too. | |

Posted: 2/6/2007 1:27:28 PM | There's alot of things the UK can do with their law system our countries (Canada and the USA) cannot do because of a difference in culture, and crimerates.
And again, I'm not really concerned with the legalities, I'm concerned with the moralities. There's countries that legalise prostitution. Does that make it right? No, it simply makes it allowed.
And I hate to say it, but if you're attempting to justify smoking pot around children you're telling me you can't stop smoking it. AKA you have an addiction problem. It's not a healthy habit. You need to find another way to calm yourself. | |

Posted: 2/6/2007 1:30:58 PM | Scratch the around children since you've just stated your daughter isn't around. (Though that still applies to people that do do it around children)
But as a person. Not even a parent, as a person. Pot is not a healthy release.
And as a parent, what are you going to tell your daughter when she wants to know how to calm down in her worst moments? Smoke a doob? | |

Is she around after you have smoked it? Is she around while you are still under the effect of it? | |

Posted: 2/6/2007 1:37:58 PM | very good point!
AND it's not very appeling for a 2 yrs old to have that smell on you after you smoked it, cause the smell DOES stay on you | |

Posted: 2/6/2007 1:40:30 PM | | I smoke sometimes when my daughter is away for the night so no, she doesn't smell it and no, she doesn't see the effect it has on me. | |

Posted: 2/6/2007 4:08:53 PM | swilie... my remarks were not intended to you whatsoever...they were towards ppl who i know that smoke ALOT. You misinterpreted my post.
Everyone has a right to do as they wish in thier own homes...but when you involve children and the smoke and when it runs your everyday life where the decision comes up..POT OR FOOD OR RENT?? I dont respect that.
It really really makes me angry when I see them smoke with thier kids mere feet away.
Keep it small.. keep it private....smoke outdoors...keep kids away...they have no business knowing and seeing that crap. | |

Posted: 2/6/2007 4:13:30 PM | All the justifications for smoking pot that I have been reading is "it helps me relax" and "I dont do it in my kids presence" seriously boggles my mind.
What? You cant "relax" drug free? Geez. When I want to relax, Ill take a bubble bath, turn on some inspirational music and dance around my house, grab my daughter and head out to Disneyland, or call up a friend for a chat session.
Isnt the job to set an example for our child? Whether they be in our presence at that time or not. We are parents 24/7. Start acting like parents. Leave the weed back in high school or those "college experimentation" years and GROW UP. You are parents now. Start acting like it. | |

Drinking in moderation will not kill you. Studies have proven a glass of wine a day is beneficial to your health, but the topic at hand is smoking pot and having children.
BTW, if you don't drink.....why do you list it as "socially" in your profile? LOL! | |

Second, it is not a gateway drug.
Third, For those of you who drive a car. Did you stay within the legal speed limit?
Can't tell you how many times I am tailgated by a woman or man in a car with kids exceeding the speed limits. For me I find that more deplorable than smoking a doob.
You are not only putting your children at risk but strangers as well. What is that teaching your kids? Do you yak on your cell phone while driving? Please give me a break that activity will kill your kids faster than pot.
Fourth, Soldiers are dying every day because of OUR addiction to oil. Would you give up your car? Do you reuse your shopping bags. Have look under your sink or in your cupboard for that plastic bag full of other plastic bags.
Fifth, if you are so against pot and want nothing to do with it. Start burning alot of books and turn off your TV, radio because many of your artists who created them were stoned.
Pierre Burton was a stoner ask Rick Mercer who had him on his show rolling one.
I am not saying that smoking pot in front of your kids is ok but the attitude will not help your children when faced with pressure from peers. The more you try to shelter them the more likely they will experiment. | |

Posted: 2/7/2007 8:23:40 AM | ok but having kids who can come downstairs and see mom and dad rolling is ok??
how can a pot smoking parent caution against the dangers of drugs and the dangerous effects they have when they themselves do it?? How in the world can they do that??
Drinking wine or a beer with dinner is nothing to seriously worry about. In sooo many cultures its acceptable and a way of life. BUt passing out before noon on a weekday.. hell yah yer an alkie.
The point im trying to make is how can a child respect their own parents "DANGERS OF DRUGS TALK" when thier own parents are users?? Its retarded...and a total catch 22. A practice what you preach so to speak.
I dont give a darn if you want a doob every now and then.. but when you bring it into the household... kids are not dumb. If they know mom and dad do it.. a teen will hand it to them one day and they will be none the wiser. | |

Posted: 2/7/2007 8:34:02 AM | DANGERS OF DRUGS talk, whats that then, oh like the one my parents gave me that left me in no doubt that drugs would kill me the first time I tried them???
Well it was with great trepidation that I took that first draw and ....... I was alive my god it didn't kill me
So they LIED to me dope didn't kill or hospitalize me, so off I went to try all of the other stuff
Heres the list
Cocaine - Liked Cocaine very good too good I could have seen myself using a lot of that
Acid - Didnt like it, very weird yuk
Speed - Did lots of that in an official capacity we were given stuff to keep us going
Heroin - Chased a dragon or 2 very scary didnt like it much but could see what some got out of it
Ecstasy (MDMA) Weird, that lasted a day felt nice about the world didn't repeat though
So I am a serious drug abuser, or just someone very very curious?
My drug of choice is still Adrenaline | |

Posted: 2/7/2007 9:00:43 AM | | I just wanted to say that I agree with ya....The parent dont understand it is just like say well it's illegal but it ok to do it. That would be just like handing your kid a gun saying I know its illegal but go ahead .Why would parent want to introduce there kids to thing that could hurt them maybe not physically but financially,emotionally,sociallly.You know my job is to protect my kids as much as I can. | |

Are you actually serious? A hot bath SOBER relaxes me JUST FINE. I dont need to "self medicate" myself to relax. Judgemental? Yes. Very. I will admit it. You know why? Because I dont condone DRUG use, PERIOD. You are a parent. Get a grip on life, SOBER.
Amazing the amount of justifications for doing drugs. Unbelievable. | |

Posted: 2/7/2007 9:17:28 AM | but the attitude will not help your children when faced with pressure from peers
..and neither will your advocacy for acceptable drug use. "Its ok hun, you can smoke a doob before you take your history test. Yanno, cause it helps you relax!"  After all, thats all Im hearing from those parents who do drugs. That its ok to smoke to deal with everyday life. Im sorry, but I deal with my issues sober. And you know what? When my daughter grows up, she will see that mom handled her life drug free. Too bad that in your case, drug use will be indirectly related as an ok out to relax. As for me, when I was younger, before children, I tried it, didnt do anything for me and I didnt care for it. Yrs. passed, I became a mother and I knew at that moment, what it meant to be a mother and my responsibilities.
I speak harsh and I speak the truth, be strait for your kids sake. Be a good role model. How you conduct yourself as a parent will shine thru when they grow up. How can anyone possibly justify doing drugs, yet, when their child is in school, they are taught the dangers. Sounds a bit hypocritical to me. Why cant some just raise their children drug-free? Is it that hard? | |

Posted: 2/7/2007 1:00:50 PM | We live in a world that is hypocritical.. Full of excuses and reasons why... We all remember those famous words "But I did not inhale" and thats coming from a man who at the time was suppose to be a leader of a country!! Its freaking funny!!
People will do what they choose, right or wrong? Does it matter? Cause you already made up your mind! And believe me it will bite you in the a$$ some day when your child comes home baked, what do you say? Don't do as I do? Yea o.k!!
I myself tried it as a teen didn't do much for me... I personally don't drink much.. I don't even let my bf smoke cigerettes in the house! Kids are smart, someday you need to have that 'drug' talk and it will be very hypocritical if those parents who smoke to tell that child 'drugs are bad'... Come on... Just too funny..  | |

Posted: 2/7/2007 1:15:58 PM | I never tried one drug while I was in school. I had many, many friends who did and their parents did not smoke pot. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that my more rowdier friends were the ones who came from strict religious homes. My mom openly smoked pot in front of me all of my life. -- And I'm the one who didn't try it until I was of age, and living on my own.
Now, I'm not saying that everyone should smoke pot so their kids won't, but I am saying that just because you do something doesn't mean your kids are going to do it. Perhaps I am the exception to the rule, I don't know. But from my vantage point, it's not a vaild arguement that your kids are going to do it because you did. I guarantee you that I did not try it because my mom did it. (Just before anyone brings that up.) If anything, it was her use of it that made me stay away from it. | |

Posted: 2/7/2007 1:42:37 PM | I see where you are comming from PWG, regarding growing up. Myself, I went to a private Christian HS, whereas alot of my classmates were there because their parents thought a private school atmosphere would keep them in line. Wrong. Some of my friends were 'punk' and a bit 'worldly'. However, I was not. I come from a drug-free family, with good instilled morals. Once I grad. HS, I met a few friends thru work, one of which her parents grew pot in their backyard and everytime you walked in that house, the smell permiated everywhere. The mother would smoke it in her bedroom. I could always tell when I was near her when she was high. My gf was extremely wild. She never smoked it, even though her parents did. Well, we stopped being friends because she got out of control and started smoking it. That lead to speed a few times. Her justification? Her mom and stepdad did it, and even though back then, she didnt have much interest, she felt it was more acceptable because of her parents attitude.
I guess my point being-is that upbringing contributes to ones actions. Yes, there are exceptions and it doesnt ALWAYS mean that the child will follow down that path, but, what kind of example are we REALLY setting for our kids with drug-use? | |
