Posted: 8/23/2006 4:30:48 PM | 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.
oh lord. now you're telling people how to spend their money? you're really reaching now.
oh, and i also had a drug dealer neighbour....watched him day after day running out to cars with drugs, running back to the house with money. a 20 yo girl died in that house from a morphine overdose. called the police several times, nothing was ever done. they got evicted for not paying their rent & are now dealing out of a house a few blocks away.
bottom line, parents who take care of their kids in every way & smoke pot on their own time are NOT automatically bad parents. | |

Posted: 8/23/2006 4:39:06 PM | | yeah, if the parents are DRUG ADDICTS. this thread isn't about DRUG ADDICTS. there's more than money to worry about when you are talking about the children of DRUG ADDICTS. | |

Posted: 8/23/2006 4:41:50 PM | Ahhh. I thought we were parents 24/7.
We set the standard and the behaviors of our children...
**Here is a very good song. It deals with either drugs or alcohol. Think about it**
I remember looking up
To look up to him
And I remember most the time
He wasn't there
I'd be waiting at the door
When he got home at night
He'd pass me by to go to pass out in his chair
And I'd say
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're swaying side to side
You're footsteps make me dizzy
And no matter how I try
I keep tripping and stumbling
If you'd look down here you'd see
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me
He stumbled in the gym
On graduation day
And I couldn't help but feel
So ashamed
And I wasn't surprised a bit
When he didn't stay
He stumbled out before they called my name
And I thought
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're swaying side to side
It's not just me who's watching
you've caught everybody's eye
And you're tripping and stumbling
and even though I've turned 18
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're still leading me
The old mans still like he always was
But I love him anyway
If I've learned one thing from him
Its my kids will never have to say
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're swaying side to side
You're footsteps make me dizzy
And no matter how I try
I keep tripping and stumbling
if you'd look down here you'd see
Walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me
Yeah walk a little straighter daddy
You're leading me | |

Posted: 8/23/2006 5:00:36 PM | when i dated an alcoholic..he never drank around me...nor his son...but he would wait til his son was asleep on nights i was not there, and drink away...or if his son was at preschool, he'd drink...he already had a dui so someone else had to pick up his son and bring him home....i was the only one who knew for sure he was drinking with the child in the house...he had his parents fooled and the child's mom...
one of the reasonings i tried to use on him was what if there were an accident during the night, or if the son needed emergency medical condition....would he be at full capacity to help the child?
so what about smoking pot...even if the kids are in bed...things can happen in the night...and even if u were able to get the child to a hospital....those people are trained to see things like that...if they suspected u were high or had been...they are required by law to report it in order to protect the child...
my mom and stepdad never drank or did any kinds of drugs in our house...and as for me i have never tried any drugs nor have i ever been drunk...my brother on the other hand has had issues with both drugs and alcohol....you just never know....but you should try to set the best example... | |

Posted: 8/23/2006 6:56:41 PM | okay, good, because you're not going to be able to convince me that occassional pot smoking NOT AROUND children is harmful.
my eyes are quite open to the harmful effects that pot smoking could have on children, were they exposed to it.
by the way, i'm not sure if i've mentioned it, but i don't smoke pot. | |

BARRIE -- A marijuana "factory" concealed within a sprawling old brewery just steps from one of Ontario's busiest highways is proof Canada's pot problem has reached "epidemic proportions," police said yesterday. The former Molson brewery in Barrie, plainly visible from Highway 400, one of the province's busiest commuter routes, was raided on the weekend by about 100 city and provincial police officers acting on a tip.
Inside, police found marijuana with what they said had an estimated street value of $30 million, along with a grow operation of staggering proportions -- the largest and most sophisticated in modern Canadian history.
"This is not a ma and pa operation," Barrie police Chief Wayne Frechette said at a news conference in this city an hour's drive north of Toronto.
Across a 5,400-square-metre complex the size of a football field, police found more than 25,000 pot plants growing everywhere -- even inside the cavernous indoor vats once used to brew beer.
Molson closed the brewery in 2000 and sold it to a company that leases space to about half a dozen businesses. The other companies included trucking companies and a bottling company, police said.
A police video shot shortly after the raid showed the vats teeming with marijuana plants and an elaborate electrical room where hydro was used to power the lights that facilitate the growing process.
Huge drawers, used to spread harvested marijuana to dry, were seen in the video, each one brimming with buds.
"This particular marijuana factory is the largest and most sophisticated I'm aware of in Canada," said provincial police deputy commissioner Vaughn Collins.
"Commercial marijuana operations have reached epidemic proportions in Ontario; they are in every community and most are controlled by organized crime."
The facility was set up to operate 24 hours a day and included living quarters capable of housing as many as 50 people at once, said OPP Det. Staff Sgt. Rick Barnum.
"These areas . . . included common areas with beds, televisions, fridges and stoves similar to dormitory-type facilities," Barnum said.
Marijuana grown in Canada is routinely shipped to the U.S., Collins said.
"Much of Ontario marijuana is destined for U.S. markets, and it's often traded for cocaine brought back into Canada."
Frechette, who cited the "big-box" operation as an example of how marijuana has allowed organized crime to penetrate Canadian communities, urged the public to be vigilant and watch for "suspicious activities."
Nine people were charged, eight of them with one count each of production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
Charged are Robert Bleich, 29, of Stayner; Tomas Gates, 33, of Corunna; Michael DiCicco, 60, and Scott Dillon, 23, both of Toronto; Scott Walker, 34, and Zoran Stojanovic, 49, both of St. Catharines; and Edward MacAdam, 43, and Craig Walker, 24, both of Niagara Falls.
Rayne Sauve, 36, of St. Catharines was also charged with one count of production of a controlled substance as well as one charge each of possession of cocaine, possession of ecstasy and possession for the purpose of trafficking.
A second grow house was also discovered Sunday just north of the city. Investigators seized more than 30,000 marijuana plants from the two locations.
The brewery operation is almost certainly not the only one of its scale in Canada, law enforcement officials warned.
"Just because we have not stumbled on them . . . doesn't mean they're not there," said RCMP Chief Supt. Raf Souccar, the force's director-general of drugs and organized crime.
"The risk is low, the profit is high, deterrence is not there, so it makes it an attractive proposition."
Police estimate there are about 15,000 illegal marijuana grow operations in Ontario.

Posted: 8/23/2006 7:44:48 PM | ^^^ Interesting reading BDJ
thank you .... it always amazes me when I read about some of the operations and how they managed to do it right under every one's nose..... ya this sounds normal and those stats you quoted are just Ontario...just a fraction of the country...can you imagine what's really happening out there?
and the fact that he said
"""""The risk is low, the profit is high, deterrence is not there, so it makes it an attractive proposition." """""""
is so true unfortunately ......
River, I liked the song you posted (well I actually don't like it) it reminded me of my children's father and how they feel about him (so that's a sad song to me) He is "not" a pot smoker though - his unbalanced walk & mind is from alcohol & chemical drugs...
I have never seen a pot smoker stagger - ...heck they rarely stand up !
thanks everyone for the kind words
and thanks for the "no hard feelings" to the rest of you

It is a pretty good song. Has a powerful message. Im sorry thats how they feel about him.
That song also reminds me of my ex husbands father. I can remember him telling me at one time, (when we were still married), that he can remember his dad being stoned, not showing up to games, being late to practices, etc. He witnessed alot from his father's drug and alcohol addictions. Even though his father thought it was ok that he didnt do it around him, his lack of actions, and laziness was apparent by his drug use. This comming from him. | |

Reel , oh yeah that's what i want an overweight narrow minded bitter man hater like river girl,who isn't over her last guy yet ( the pot addict)
treeman good post for the topic, it only proves what Dustine and I were saying, wow that sure is a lot of weed, i would venture that those responsible would get maybe 3 yrs, still growing is something totally different, there are mold issues involved there that can really harm your kids, that is something no one should do in there own home, but i still don't see the harm of smoking out in the garage, so i guess that still makes me a sad 40 something drugged out friend, | |

Posted: 8/23/2006 11:27:01 PM | Wow, things are really getting screwed up if your a parent and you think useing drugs is ok.
What a truly sad thing. The first and foremost thing that should be on your mind IS YOUR KIDS and their welfare. You do realize that kids can and have been removed by the police for this very reason. Why would anyone even let that even be in the equation!!!!
Anyone who would even think of taking that chance maybe shouln't have custody of children anyway.
It is really true that drugs make you stupid. | |

Posted: 8/24/2006 7:08:32 AM | | Wow, there are a lot of judgemental people posting in this thread. I'm sure their lives are just perfect, so they have to pick apart other's lives for entertainment. There is a difference between being a big pothead and casual use. Abuse of anything...food, alcohol, even sex, is not a good thing. Moderation is the key in life to everything. Just because things are said matter-of-factly, doesn't make them facts. Your opinions are just that...yours. Nothing more and nothing less than anyone elses. I think people should just agree to disagree on this topic. There is obviously no middle ground to be found here. | |
|
| single parents smoking pot
Posted: 8/24/2006 7:22:44 AM | your right there is no middle ground when you dealing with super do gooders, who never do anything wrong, or cant admit they do, say you smoke a little weed and next thing you know the cops are bashing down your door taking your kids and forcing you into treatment, give me a break,
i imagine some of you wearing Barney pajama's and sleeping on the bottom bunk with your baby monitors cranked up just in case your child wakes up and needs some great parenting in the middle of the night,
have a great day everybody, i am off to work and later after my kids are all taken care of and in bed, i will go out to the garage to have a nice smoke of some nice bud, and jump right into my other addiction, posting on the forums, lol
you know you can get square eyes if your on the computer too much.

Posted: 8/24/2006 7:47:07 AM | Wow, I guess someone should call child services on me right now, because guess what? I use drugs. That's right, folks, I use 'em. I'm on an anti-depressant, and sometimes I drink a beer or two. And get this- sometimes I even take a Tylenol PM before going to bed.
I'll go ahead and pack the kids' things while you call. We'll be waiting....
Seriously though, I do have a question. Isn't pot decriminalized in Canada? While quickly searching for the answer myself, I came across this quote, "They used to burn witches. Today we laugh at them. Today we jail people for marijuana. Tomorrow they'll laugh at us.” - Robert "Rosie" Rowbotham
I'm putting it right up there with whomever in this thread said they'd never put the turkey in the crib or the baby in the oven. I cracked up for nearly an hour over that. | |

| single parents smoking pot
Posted: 8/24/2006 8:32:19 AM | YAYYY! Im a super do gooder because I dont believe in drug use, especially when you are a parent...YAYY go me!!
I do not believe I have *ever* said I was *perfect*, however, I will toot my own horn for not condoning or making excuses for how I deal with life. I take the bull by the horns and deal with it clean and sober. For that, I must say, makes a great parent. | |
