Nothing. I think the OP just wanted to talk about pot, and since you have to make it appropriate, he/she made it about single parents smoking pot. | |

Your argument for why pot is illegal is, well, dumb. It does nothing but take us back to "why is booze legal?
I wasn't on a soap box for why pot is illegal....I was stating the facts.
I personally don't care if you smoke it or not? I just don't want to hear anyone whining about the police doing their job, social services doing their job and your kids saying WELL MY PARENTS DID IT WHY CAN'T I. Just because you do just pot...doesn't meant that you are not going to influence your kids...and it doesn't mean that they are going to do JUST POT.
I hope your kids don't steal cash outta your wallet either....i don't think dealers take interac! | |

Posted: 2/8/2007 7:05:06 AM | You really think that pot is illegal because of the driving aspect?
Just because one does pot doesn't mean their children WILL. Just because one's parents DON'T use pot doesn't mean their children WON'T.
I personally don't care if you smoke it or not?
Apparently you do care or you wouldn't be asking me. If you want the answer, read back a few pages. | |

Posted: 2/8/2007 7:39:58 AM | Most kids will do what their friends do.. Some won't.. There is always that child who will choose not to follow the crowd..... But if parents are doing it too it makes it alot more acceptable to the kids.. Hopefully I will raise that kid who will make the right choices.. We don't smoke in our hourse or at all for that matter and hopefully when my kids are faced with the offering of drugs, they will say no thanx... If I did smoke pot , how can I expect my kid to say no? For those who had pot smokers parents and they themselves didn't try it I give it up to you .. Obviously something in you knew it was wrong!! I know many parents who smoke and now their teen is smoking right with them... Now where is the parenting in that? | |

Posted: 2/8/2007 8:12:00 AM | Can I just explain something that seems to have escaped everyone. As I grew up I wanted to be NOTHING like my parents!!!!! I did what all self respecting teenagers did and rebeled
So maybe the kids of the smokers will all become nuns and priests LOL | |

Yup. My ex is the same way.
His dad passed him a joint, they got high together *father/son bonding* 
Now the young half sister did coke at 16.
How sad is that? | |

Posted: 2/8/2007 12:36:53 PM | i know 2 couples whos kids/parents use the same dealer... or go over to moms so she can give them a gram.
UNFEAKIN beleivable. When my parents were still smokers and i was going into my 20's I wouldnt be caught dead smoking in front of them like my friends did with thiers. It was respect for my parents.
Thankfully all of us quit one year and its been over 15 yrs for them.For myslelf.. with having kids.
all i can hope for for the parents that DO SMOKE UP time to time.. is keep it very private.. keep it out of the house, dont involve the kids and they also need to do a drug talk with them.
Pot wont kill you.. but a jiont can lead to a line... then to a crack pipe.. then to a needle.. then even death.
I had an employee who was 3 hours late for work one time. After hours upon hours of phone calls... his room mate calls. He found him dead by overdose. Try having to call his family and his ex wife and kids. | |

Posted: 2/8/2007 7:36:42 PM | Yeah, there was Clinton with his "I didn't inhale" line of BS. And then we have Bush. I bet his opinion on pot is much like the majority of peoples on this thread; totally against smoking pot, but has no problem formulating lies to launch a military invasion of a foreign country, et al. Just like a number of community reps that are "totally against" one thing or another, but molest little children and/or engage in other acts that people can generally agree without a doubt are immoral and heinous in the extreme. But hey, at least they didn't smoke pot or encourage it's use. And thats the "important" point, right?
You always have to keep an eye on the ones that work their mouth about small issues. They're generally try to kick up a cloud that will mask much greater wrongdoings of their own.
I personally involve myself in my kid's life. I'm his father, and I'm his friend. And he reciprocates. Maybe one day my son and I will smoke a joint together. We'll probably drink a beer together too. Maybe. Someday. And when it comes down to him and I having the drug/alcohol talk, he is going to be confident and respect that what he is being told comes from a standpoint of "experience-enough" and not your usual ivory-tower moralizing. How do I know? 'Cause I've been there, done that, along with a huge heap of other people. In the end, whatever my son decides to do, he will do so from a standpoint of awareness and responsibility, as opposed to blind obedience. | |

Posted: 2/8/2007 11:10:52 PM | | I see you've entirely missed the point in your response disney_mom, yet again. So, as we know we can't attribute this lack of concentration of your own to pot smoking, and then proceed to ridicule it as you have done, whats your excuse? 'Cause I know at least one other glaring reason some people usually miss the point, but then, I'm not the type to draw conclusions on things that stand at arms length, let alone ridicule them based on my own presumptions, so I'll just leave it at that. | |

Posted: 2/9/2007 4:12:26 AM | | I've been there, done that too and I had to learn some pretty hard lessons. I've personally witnessed too much of the damage pot does to believe that it's a harmless drug. | |

Maybe it wasn't pot that screwed up your life, but you, yourself. Kind of like guns don't kill people....
Just thinking outloud, but I think we as humans find it easier to blame our issues on other things rather than look at our inner selves. | |

(since we are talking about ruining lives) | |

But you can't really blame the pot and booze. It was his choice and his doing, no? | |
|
| single parents smoking pot
Posted: 2/9/2007 11:18:30 AM | | It was his choice, yes. I blame both actually. I see where you are going and agree. We all have choices in life. He choose to let it control. (dont know if that makes sense) | |

Posted: 2/9/2007 12:26:49 PM | S- I understand where you are coming from as well. We don't agree, but I understand your view. Just wanted to let you know that.
Oh, and I never pictured you as an "S". lol Should stop by and visit us again sometime! | |

Posted: 2/9/2007 2:17:20 PM | Talking to you, Disney. You introduced yourself elsewhere as S..........
Or I've inhaled too many fumes? Oh dear.... | |
|
| single parents smoking pot
Posted: 2/9/2007 2:30:15 PM | LOL
Ive never referred to myself as S.
Hmmm...do I have another stalker? (  )
But, thank you. I can see both sides of the spectrum. My ex was/is weak, as he had allowed those drugs to take over him and destroy not only himself, but others as well. | |
