Posted: 2/16/2007 11:36:37 AM | My true philosophy is to legalise all drugs. Divert all money used for drug enforcement and divert it education and treatment centres. Make all the drugs available at pharmacies so that they are clean and dosed properly.
Although the 1st decade will be traumatic, it will not take long for every child to grow up knowing someone who is either an addict or who has died. This view point is harsh, but, it will destroy the black market overnight and also in the long run, there will be no one who will want to do the drugs that will seriously damage them. The educational value alone will outweigh the loss ten-fold.
The social implications will be a controlled and balanced level of addiction in the 7% of the population that will be addicted whatever regime is in place.
Go chew on that one.....  | |

Posted: 2/16/2007 9:24:32 PM | | I agree and dissagree with many aspects of these discussions. Myself, i am a single mom raising my beautiful daughter I luv u Jordyn!!!!!! I get help from the father somewhat takes her every second weekend buys her the things she needs etc. I think smoking ciggeretts period is nasty, when u smoke a cigg. the CHEMICALS stay on your clothes, hair skin anyting u have on wether or not had a jacket or a swaeter on, IT STAYS! When your child goes to give u a hug he or she breaths in every single nasty raunchyness of a chemical inthat wonderful (so u think) ciggerette. Just becasue your child doesnt c u smoking itdoesntmean its still not hurting them. They dont have the skills yet to tell u that u stink. Trust me, U STINK. However, smoking weed (when baby is out of the house,parties,dates,etc) is totally normal for anyone who dealswith any level of stress in their lives. Some of u really tried to say people cut their fingers off while being high, this doesnt have anything to do with the ganja it has to do with the person being a dumba** and notwatching what they are doing. Weed does not make u stupied on impact, it mellows out your body when u are tense. Why do they give it to people for medicable perposes? Cancer,arthritus,etc. Sowhat weresaying is, its only illegal for people that are NOT sick, and ok for someone who IS sick??? That makes no sense to me? Out ofallthe drugs out there better yet, outta all the CRACKHEADS, COKE WH***S ,E-TARDS, wehre are the side effects of weed making someone look crackedout or sketchy or right out -of-er? Nah u c healthy,smiling,goodpeople just wanting to take aload off the only way that works for them. Peoplereally need to let us single mothers alone and stop looking at us like wereall welfare cases, casue some of us are trying tomake it in this crazy messed up world, n if smoking weed makes that day better adnmakes me happy for a moment while im sad or upset then HELL YA BABY PUFFPUFF PASS! POwer to the mommas of the world. | |

Posted: 2/17/2007 12:14:45 PM | (msg 1, I do agree with some of you people. Pot is illegal but that fact of the matter is that it affects the body and mind alot less then booze)
weed/cannabis whatever you choose to call it is 8 times more potent than alcohol. i don't agree with drugs of any kind being around kids, i think kids are easily influenced and don't need it when they grow up in the society we live in today. if you choose to take drugs then do it when you don't have the responsibility of looking after your child. this includes drinking alcohol to excess. my dd has never seen me drink to excess. the christmas just gone she saw me have to shots of baileys at a friends house and was really shocked. she's 12 and has never seen me take in any alcohol apart from then. we need to keep our kids innocent for as long as possible. | |

Posted: 2/17/2007 7:18:39 PM | | A family members ex wife did drugs (including pot) in front of her kids. They grew up thinking it was okay....and of course, she included them in her drug escapades when they were old enough. Her son nearly died from it. Smoked a bunch of pot, lost control of his car at high speeds, and hit a tree head on. Was in the hospital for a long time. Anyone who thinks drugs- even marajuana- is okay needs help. Anyone who does them in front of their kids or encourages their kids to do them in any way, needs to be rotting in prison. Have some morals. I mean good grief, parent's should be setting a GOOD example. Thats JMHO though. | |

Posted: 2/17/2007 7:31:34 PM | | smoking pot around kids is trashy. I wouldnt do it, I wouldnt get drunk around my kids either. There is absolutely nothing rong having a glass or two of wine around your kids when you are not getting drunk and so what if you have a little bit of a buzz there is a big difference between a body buzz from a glass of wine and smoking dope in front of your kids. TRASHY. | |

Posted: 2/17/2007 10:02:43 PM | | Hey, I dont do it. But I dont think the answer you gettin are correct! I think if the parent wants to smoke pot its not anyones bussiness.. and I dont think most parents that do, do it infromt of there kids. I am sure there are parents who do it when there kids asleep or not at home. Pot smoking is not only to feck you up! .. Some people do it when they have cancer or in serious pain to ease the pain. I think I would rether see a parent smoking pot then drinking in front of there kids.. pot is less dangerous! I have seen soe meesed up people beat the heel out of there kids when drinking .. but still people are only concerned about pot cause its against the law! But the only reason its against the law is becaise the gov cant get a profit with it.. Did you know that the one of are presidents smoked pot and got it as a gift! haha | |

Posted: 2/18/2007 7:52:16 AM | | ^^^I know lots of people that see nothing wrong with smoking pot in front of their children. Just one of the many things that I've seen that have contributed to my feelings about pot. | |

Couple of problems with it. First, when you smoke pot, in America, you're breaking the law. Your kids will model their behavior on yours, and if you're seen breaking laws merely because they're inconvenient to you, they will think the same thing.
Second, pot has changed in the last couple decades. 20 years ago, studies showed that there were no side effects (other than munchies and lethargy), no addiction, and no long-term behavioral changes. Pot today has a THC level 40 to 80 times what it had 20 years ago. As a result, they've found long-term effects, including paranoia, addiction and biochemical changes in the brain.
The difference between that, and drinking in front of your kids is that you're not going to be intoxicated in front of them off a beer or two. You're not doing anything illegal. You're not exposing them to second-hand alcohol fumes.
I personally think that the "war on drugs" is a waste of resources. Prohibition in the 20's succeeded in creating more crime, not reducing it. Though I don't condone drug use (I grew up with an addict, I suffered enough. I don't think anyone else should have to go through that.) I don't believe that our current laws are the solution.
Given that, I think you need to take your bad habits elsewhere, not in front of the kids. It's not ok, and they shouldn't think it's ok. | |

Posted: 2/19/2007 10:51:02 AM | I don't know if this was said before; I'm not going to read through 18 pages of posts. Please stop comparing pot to alcohol. We're talking apples and oranges. In the middle ages alcohol was safer to drink than water...people were not smoking pot. Today, you can take a drink for the taste and not with the express purpose of getting drunk. When you smoke pot, the intended purpose is to get high. I've never heard of pot & cheese tasting parties!?
My ex-wife smoked. And it interfered with her being a parent. It also resulted in my getting full custody of my kids when we split. She had to clean up before she could share the responsibility again.
The need to alter your state of consciousness with either drugs or alcohol demonstrates a deeper problem. If anyone states that it is just recreational then they're denying something and should look deeper in themselves. There are far better recreational activities. | |

Posted: 2/19/2007 10:51:29 PM | | Pot, like alcohol, impairs your judgement, not something you want to do when handling your kids. If you're going to do it, atleast wait til they go to bed. | |
|
| single parents smoking pot
Posted: 2/20/2007 3:27:44 PM | hmm i wouldnt do it with them in bed either.i would save that garbage for when they are out of the house entirely.
Pot and alcohol impair your judgement to much and in case of an emergency or god knows what... your children depend on YOU to get them to safety in any situation..and if you are stoned outta yer gourd or drunk as a skunk who will help them?? certainly not you in your bad state.
Save it for a no- kids weekend. Or make damn sure there is at least one stable person in the mix who can take a handle of any problems.
I have said it a zillion times before I have zero respect for ppl who toke...smoke..and drink in the vicinity of thier children. | |

Posted: 2/20/2007 3:28:56 PM | Hello, Fellow Adults, (Hi dee dee)
Pot Interesting Subject..Makes you look older, Plus you can't pass a drug test ha. If people don't just do drugs they feel more secure in the work force knowing in case just in case if a random came up. Plus i can say to myself i have no drug problem i can go out right now and get a job with my back-round. What would your kids say if you lost your job because of pot? what would you tell them that your a bad example, they start to wonder =/ just something really interesting subject on. | |

There are many, many products on the market today that will help you pass a drug test. And contrary to popular belief, if you are an occasional user, it leaves your system in THREE days, NOT 30. | |

Posted: 2/20/2007 3:41:49 PM | | When being drug tested, labs or other officals are also made aware of those chemicals that try to take the drug chemical away as well, and they will specifically test if that is in the stream. | |
