We've all heard of the show Weeds...but do you know of any moms that smoke pot? Do you ever smoke? Would it bother you if a girlfriend smokes...after the kids go to bed? Do you think it should be legalized?

An old friend of mine supposedly is into stuff...ive heard thru the grapevine but she has 2 children ages 4 and 1. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG! I NEVER do anything drugs or alcohol. Im a stay at home mom and first of all I am always with my son and what if something happened and I was impaired to some degree it is not worth it. I can understand doing stuff when you're single and college aged, have fun do what your gonna do you dont have a child in your care....be responsible you have a child EVERYTHING changes its flat out time to grow up. Should it be legalized....hmmm touchy subject wont ever happen because the US will loose a lot of money on that one

I know of a few people who do this, and it really doesn't bother me. I'm originally from AK, where it is legal and not a big deal at all. I don't do it and my husband doesn't, but it still doesn't bother me. My husband feels differently from the way I do though. He grew up in the states, and it is an issue to him. He views it different from I. I have friends who are upstanding citizens who do this on occasion. My cousin is a state senator, and his wife uses it for her arthritis. I guess it sort of depends on where you were brought up.

That's a hard one. I think doing anything illegal is stupid, ESPECIALLY if you have kids. They could be taken away. But I don't think that it should be illegal. If it were legal it could be taxed and could make a LOT of money. It would be a cash crop like tobacco. And no one has ever died from getting high. Sure, you may get high and drive into a brick wall and die, buy you could also do that talking on the cell or eating a cheeseburger while you drive. It isn't any more medically harmful than cigarettes, and stinks a little less imo. But with that said, I've never done it and don't really intend to, legal or not.

My husband did it a lot in HS, and we were friends then. We even dated then. If it weren't for the pot he probably would have killed himself or someone else. It tends to have somewhat of a cathartic effect on some people who are stressed. But he wouldn't do it now. He would lose his job quick (works for the county) and not to mention the fact that he is a Dad now.

Now his mother is a terrible addict. Pot is the least harmful thing she does. She pops pills like they're Sweet Tarts, and then thinks that we will let her keep our infant. She had two wrecks in ONE day, and got arrested for shoplifting, and has no clear memory of it. She got high while pregnant. She's just irresponsible - but any parent who uses is irresponsible. That's why she didn't raise her kids.

I don't have any kids, but I strongly believe that having drugs around kids is just wrong (even if they are in bed). A mom should be a role model and set a good example for her kids to look up to.

I agre 100%.
However, i used to smoke pot alot. For years.
I didnt smoke it while pregnant, or breastfeeding or when my kids were small. But when my youngest at the time was about 8, I started puffing sumtimes after they went to bed, or when at a get together etc. I didnt drink when responsible for my kids however.
Alcohol tends to get people saying things they shouldnt say, and lets their guard down, and a zillion other things that i have debated on this board way too many times in the past.
IF you are against drugs AND alcohol, then great.
If its a fear of doing something illegal, then i think thats fine too,
But if there is the "alcohol is better for you than pot" argument, then i disagree whole heartedly.

I don't find it too ethical because sooner or latter your kids will know about this and I think this is bad influence for them, they will accept drug use a lot easier when they grow up. I also think this habit should stop and the sooner the better, an addiction may lead to another and I wouldn't want that for my family. If you ask me I think drug rehabilitation would be a food solution for our smoking pot moms.

I don't and personally don't want it in my house..I know several people who do though..I am not judgemental so it is their life and as long as it is not interfering in their care for their kids, than who am I to judge
