| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 10:49:43 PM | river girl glad to her your mom overcome breast cancer, i also know first hand how chemotherapy can affect someone battling cancer, and i also know how pot can ease those affects,
trying to stay on topic, without bashing
however i do not have any medical issues that require me to smoke pot, i just like to, I will admit that some days i do feel like i need to smoke, same as a drinker may feel he needs a drink at the end of a stressful day, if that is a problem then so be it, however it is mine and mine alone and it really has no effect on my children, as far as i can tell anyhow, but if it did become an issue for them i would stop it in a heartbeat, they come first always

|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:01:24 PM | nope there was a "period" .........seperate sentance.......seperate statement... wasn't posting a reply to that part sorry | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:04:51 PM | | yes it can ease those affects, my wife who was only 31 when she passed away from breast cancer needed the pot to help with her appetite and the nausea, without it she would go sometimes days without eating, couldnt keep anything down, she wasnt lucky enough to do it pot free, but thats for another thread | |

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:21:41 PM | you know what river girl i was trying to keep the thread on topic without bashing but your adamant about having a battle with me,, then bash away, someone who says they have a loved one who suffered and survived breast cancer to take such a cheap shot as that, it only says that its not only pot smokers who have clouded judgement but cold bitter women like yourself who have no class, to make that comment only says what kind of person you are and how deep you will dig to get your mute point across,, | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:24:47 PM | wow man this river chick is really mean no wonder she is on a single site probally will be for a long long time with that attitude
smoking pot is a personal choice period you people need to get a life and live it anyway you see fit
opinions are like ***holes everyone has one | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:26:42 PM | | Correct me if i am wrong, and I did not read the entire thread, but can't parents have their kids taken away for drug abuse? | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:30:49 PM |
you know what river girl i was trying to keep the thread on topic
"Hey Kettle! Guess what? You are black!"
Was not taking a cheap shot--look back on the last 7 pages of YOUR cheap shots darlin'. | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:31:59 PM | hey reelycool way to live up to your name
fiesty this isn't about abusing drugs although some here will take it that far, this all started because it was posted that some parents like to smoke a little weed at the end of the day after the kids are taken care of,, somehow it got way off topic and we are into drug addicted parents who steal drugs from terminally ill loved ones,,
but to answer your question, nobody in Canada has had there kids taken away ever for smoking pot | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:32:38 PM | | yup fiesty. Im sure that skipped over their heads while smoking one. To put it out on a forum like that, one isnt the brightest crayon in the box. | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:34:13 PM |
nobody in Canada has had there kids taken away ever for smoking pot ..that you know of..
Keep on making excuses while its ok to do drugs as a parent! Smoke away my friend, smoke away! | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:36:13 PM | yes river i am a black pot head, i admit i took some cheap shots yesterday but today is a new day, rarely do i ever go to sleep angry( maybe cause i,m stoned) but the crack about stealing her weed to me was a very cheap shot, but if you want to carry yesterdays baggage with you then go ahead i could care less,

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:41:39 PM |
i admit i took some cheap shots yesterday but today is a new day,
...and tomorrow is another, and another, etc.
maybe cause i,m stoned
I wouldnt doubt it, the way you are so "proud" and take charge with your pride for doing drugs.
if you want to carry yesterdays baggage with you then go ahead Oh, is this called baggage? Because I seem to recall the last 6-7 pages of pure malice between you and tree and others. You have alot of history with him that you apparently cant let go of THAT baggage.
i could care less Ahhhhhhh! But you DO care, that is why you keep responding to my posts. | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:42:20 PM | Okay, let me rephrase my question.
Can parents not have their kids taken away, for using drugs?
they can have them taken away for not feeding them, abusing them, being drunks, abandoning them.....
i realize that pot smokers need pot "to relax..take the edge off things.." etc.... People even say ( friends ofmine included) that they only smoke pot when their kids are asleep....sure..sounds good and all..but what happens if your child suddenly stops breathing while sleeping, and its up toyou to take them to the hospital? How safe do you feel, driving while stoned...just a thought....
My sister smokes pot on a regular basis. thankfully she does not have kids, or else I would report her and have them taken from her until she could learn to control her habit. But then again, she is a true pot head, smokes all day and has a hard time distinguishing reality from "pot land".
ive heard it again and again, pot isnt as bad as booze and other harder drugs...but for the sake of your children, shouldnt you learn to curb your cravings, or at least reserve pot smoking for times when you dont have the kids at home, when you are out at a friends for the night, and have the time and resources to clear your mind and enjoy the full effects of pot.
Just a thought.

regardless of the illegal drug use!
Youve missed the entire point of the post--for medicinal purposes is ok, even by law.
I do have compassion for him, because I do know what it is like to loose a loved one. If he took the "cheap shot" as an insult, go back and read other posts where he has no shame of that behavior.
My comment about stealing her pot was not meant as a joke. It was to show his stupidity for being "proud" he does drugs. Thats how his post came off to ME.
Ive already told him it wasnt a cheap shot, if he wants to view it that way, that is up to him. I dont sugarcoat things. | |

| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:49:24 PM | thanx dustine, i believe all our departed are waiting for us somewhere, medical pot isnt and shouldnt be an issue, some here seem to think that pot is an evil mind altering drug, funny how most of them are Americans, i guess they have stiffer laws and penalties there, i dont think they understand that here in canada pot use is common and really not that big a deal even to most police officers,
river girl i never once said i was proud of smoking pot i just said its something i do, i do so many other things during my very busy day raising my girls and running my business,, somehow the fact that i smoke weed at the end of the day when the kids are taken care of for the day has been blown way out of proportion, like i said yesterday is gone get over it i cant change what i said then but i can change the way i post today and tomorrow and so on | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:50:25 PM | | In CA you can. Ive seen it happen. You can go to any court house and sit in during a hearing, as a citizen. Ive done this. My mothers friend also works for Child Support Services here locally, and Ive discussed this with her. I left my ex over his pot and alcohol addictions, my case is what I am going by-yes, some have. | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/22/2006 11:57:50 PM | you can go by any court house in BC and see people sitting out front smoking pot that's just how it is - it is so accepted - it is so tolerated - it is just so okay here period. the law enforcers just don't bother them.......thus our easy going attitude about this topic
stand?
edit/add....actually it is far more accepted than tobacco in public and in the pubs/bars fact | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/23/2006 12:00:48 AM | Do I stand? No.
So cops do it, ambassadors do it, so its ok then huh?
If someone jumped off a bridge, would you?
I am starting to understand the diff. laws in Canada, since the majority are posting fromt here, Im saddened that pot is so carefree in Canada. Especially to the children who have parents who light it up.
Just because its socially acceptable doesnt make it ok. There are still concerns and priorities you should have to your children. | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/23/2006 12:03:53 AM | That money you wasted on pot could go towards clothes for your child. Food. Your bills. Instead, you waste it on a few minutes to get high. THAT is sad, and your priorites are truely jacked up. | |
|
| single parents smoking pot Posted: 8/23/2006 12:04:15 AM | river girl you need to get off your high horse you think that everything you quote in this thread has any merit because you take a tiny snid bit and make a huge deal about it, i wondered what your problem was with this topic until i read about your ex being a pot smoker and a drinker that explains a lot
my kids want for nothing, the money i spend on pot isnt very much at all no different than the money some women spend on make up | |
