I saw a story about this on the news and I was wondering what you guys think about moms who smoke marijuana together. The other side of the coin is that other moms are drinking wine and popping Xanax. Is marijuana really any worse?
-
I don't see a problem with it provided they aren't loading their kids into SUV's and driving them around right afterwards.
-
Yeah, that's a good point. Smoking and driving would not be wise.
-
I don't think marijuana is any worse that alcohol, but it is illegal in most states.
-
I am all for medical marijuana I have seen what it can do for a child who had seizures up to 300 a day and now hardly has one a day -- I myself have never tried marijuana but I am not saying that I wouldn't for my health reasons I do think if you are going to use marijuana you should not drive and put other people's lives in danger
-
Yes because it's illegal.
-
I live in Las Vegas and it is legal here and I love it. When I buy it I know it is safe and do not have to worry about any added stuff to it. I have many medical issues and take 26 medications a day. But I stopped taking pain pills that I was hooked on for over 5 years I quit cold turkey than about a month later I started smoking marijuana and never went back to pills.
-
I don't smoke weed. I only know one person close to me who does. I personally have no opinion about it. I've never been interested in trying it.
-
I heard that marijuana is good for medical condition
-
Yes,it is.It is illegal but sometimes heals some medical issues.
-
Illegal here in Florida unless you have medical marijuana card which is so expensive.

I think all are wrong. You should not do anything that gets you all zonked out and you don't know what your kids are even doing
-
I hope kids are not learning from them :sweat:
-
As long as the kids aren't around when they're doing it, I see no problem. It's legal here :rose:

Yeah.
If the legal trend continues, marijuana will be legal almost nation-wide. Thing is, people will have to be taught that it's not safe for kids just because it comes in candy or baked goods. It's like any other drug: what an adult body can handle, a child's cannot. And just because it's natural doesn't mean it's automatically safe. You can get high from with the right amount of nutmeg, but it could kill you.

I have no problems with medical marijuana. I wish it would pass here in Georgia.
-
Never tried it and no desire to start now. I guess if my doctor recommended it for reason I would have to seriously think about.
-
I say it is worse if for no other reason, it is illegal. And I feel bad for all of the people on hear saying that marijuana is good for medical issues. It's truly sad to me that people believe this and I only wish that people would do their own research when it comes to health instead of listening to such nonsense.
-
I feel like Alcohol is worse than marijuana. If marijuana helps someone chill out with anxiety, or seizures why not use it. When people drink they act like manics, drive drunk, fight, and get arrested. With marijuana, you smoke it to relax or to help with various medical conditions. Being a mom and smoking isn't a good idea because for one it's illegal and most states and you have to put energy into your children and focus .
-
I don't use it but I might if it was legal .I would like to see if it helps my pain
-
If it relieves the stress the moms has and helps them out then yeah why not.
-
If they're adults and it's legal in their state, it's their choice if they want take that stuff, but as long as they don't take that stuff around kids.
-
Personally I believe it is a bad idea. For those who say, but it's not illegal in my state/area; I say - just because something isn't illegal, that doesn't make it right. What if an emergency with her kids happens when mom is high? Sure she can call 9-1-1, but if her high hinders her from giving assistance to her kids and something bad results, she should be in a heap of trouble. (I say should but unfortunately that is not always the way it works out)...
Different drug, but a few years ago in late December in this area a mom who had been drinking and taking cocaine got into a fight with her boyfriend. She decided to leave but first had a friend who had also been drinking come over. This was at her parents' house who lived very close to a riverbank. Mom puts her two kids into her friend's car because she had a car seat. After the kids were strapped in, mom for whatever reason decides that she is going to drive herself separately in her own car. Drunk friend then backs out of the driveway, across the dirt road, and over the retaining wall into the river.
Long story short, drunk friend is able to get out of the car, seven year old daughter is able to be rescued; four year old son strapped into a car seat drowns.
Drunk friend is now in prison for a very long time. Somehow, mom is not (and blames drunk friend for her son's death). But it was her stupida$$ decision to put her own kids into the care of a drunk driver. Had she not been impaired herself, she might have had a clue that the friend was in no condition to drive either. The two kids were 100% innocent victims in all of this and did not deserve to be children of this selfish idiotic imbecile.
Some would say that my story doesn't apply to the topic at hand because this mom was high on cocaine rather than marijuana. So in anticipation of that I ask if there is really a difference. Impaired is impaired regardless of the severity or source.
-
I don't think that parents should smoke with their kids or in front of their kids. I think this should be a personal decision because my grandson smokes in the house and I have to smell it and I don't like it at all.
-
If marijuana, or Xanax are prescribed - ok. BUT now as a social thing with other girlfriends. These are medications and to be taken seriously. Wine is a social drink, but yes - only if you aren't going to be driving! And I do't think it is a good idea to drink in front of the kids. :-[
-
I don't see a problem with it since it will one day become legal in all states. Marijuana is the least of anyone's problem. I do not smoke the plant myself but I use to over 23 yrs ago and when I retire well that's another story .. lol
-
I must be way too old and out of touch. I just found out the otherday that you can buy marijuana gummys. For what I don't know? :peace:

weed is a legal herb in most states nowadays and can be used for medical no one has ever overdosed on weed however pills are another story
-
It's a drug. The problem is the users that get mentally hooked. Just like alcohol. And they absolutely should not drive for HOURS after. I have an rx for it due to chronic severe pain, and I can't stand the way I feel. I quit taking it. It worked on the pain, but it scrambled my brain.
-
I'm going against the flow here again. I see most people on FC are all in for drug use. My take is that marijuana impairs your judgment and so does alcohol. Marijuana can be a gateway drug if you have an addictive personality and alcohol is its own poison. Check out what it does to your body when you drink too much. No, really. Check it out.
Getting together to smoke joints is not my idea of good mothering. Never mind the example it sets. I don't understand why people purposely want to addle their brain. I need mine to be functioning well to get along in life. Maybe this is why people are leaving their children in hot cars while they run errands and such. Perhaps their thinking has been clouded by some sort of substance abuse.
Sure alcohol and marijuana make you kind of numb, but why is that something to attain in life. I'd much rather feel things, even if it is painful. Feeling nothing is a nothing life. And neither of those things can bring you happiness; only momentary elation.
Lecture over. Have a nice day.

The last time i smoked a joint was 1973.I didnt wanna do it either,but peer pressure made me.I almost had a nervous breakdown.NO i didnt OD,but if you think i wanna relive that nightmare take a hike.I also saw it impaired my memory.
I agree there is also a pill problem.Drugs when used as medicine the right way and from DRs that care of the well-being of their patients i am all for.
Alchohol isnt illegal in Gods eyes,but just as food can be dangerous to a glutton,it can also be.Self control,moderation and loving your neighbor can go a long way.

Unless they are using it for medical purposes, I think the whole thing is pretty sad in every sense of the word. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
-
I am against it unless it is used for medical reasons. I know someone whom i visited and she was loaded from smoking it and she burned her baby girls arm. I was really upset to see that and ask her if her habit was worth what she just did. So sad. Being loaded around your kids is just not safe.
-
All in moderation. To each there own.
-
If the moms are smoking when they are out having adult time, I do not see anything wrong with it. Marijuana is no worst than drinking alcohol and in fact alcohol may be worst. Alcohol can lead to many diseases which has not been proven for marijuana.
-
Not a problem unless the moms' are doing it while the kids are around or doing drugs while pregnant!
