Five Things You May "Know" About Marijuana That Aren't True ***Spin Off, mj smokers with kids***

Im by no means bashing anyone who do any type of drug, alcohol, etc..

I was just curious, the ones who agree that mj should be leagalized, do you have children. I know some ppl aren't going to admit that they do it since its illeagal so i will ask it this way if it was illegal --- Do you smoke it in front of your children? Do you drive under the influence with your children in the car? Would you want your children smoking weed?  I noticed in the other post that someone said something about, if ppl didnt do weed there would be higher suicide rates bc of depression. If you feel you have children and you have to smoke weed so you dont kill yourself, maybe it's best if you seek medical attention or maybe take birth control so you dont have children. Idk just my thoughts on it.

My opinion on it is, my daughter is my high. She makes me smiley and act silly everyday we play games together, read books, and everytime she smiles at me in the morning. I don't need any type of drug or alcohol, to flush my problems away, bc if you dont face your problems they will never go away. You will just be teaching your children to run from their problems and to seek unhealthy avenues. As I said I am not trying to bash just was curious on other ppls thoughts about this.

I just wanted to add I am not an angel, I have tried weed in highschool but I wasnt a fan of the reaction. Burning in my chest, coughing up a lung lol, and having delayed reactions on everything i did. Idk not for me i guess.

 I have seen many cancer patients here in California who have medical prescriptions for it and they say it is the best pain relief they have.

People drive under the influence of a lot of different 'legal' drugs.

Is it the word 'illegal' you have a problem with? Just asking.

nope its not the illegal part. like even when i had my wisdon teeth out and they gave my percocet and ibprufen 800 i didnt use either bc i had to care for my child alone bc my husband was deployed and i wanted to be sure i was 100% focused lol. I have no problem with prescribed medicine including weed. I just dont agree with ppl who abuse drugs of any kind including alcohol. Expercially when they have children to care for.

I used to smoke pot, I don't any longer and I can honestly say that I wouldn't now even if it was legal.  They have that K2 in my town, and it is basically legal pot, I thought about getting some but still felt that it was wrong to be high regardless of wether or not it was legal.  That is how I feel about it.

 Ok but do you have a problem with people who use or drive under the influence of legal drugs?

I don't smoke to get silly and smiley, myself. Nor would I kill myself without pot. I enjoy it, it helps the anxiety I've had my whole life, and saved my teeth to boot- I used to grind them so badly at night that my back molars are all worn down.

I smoke, I have kids- no, they don't know what weed is, and no, I don't smoke in front of them. No, I don't want them to smoke weed, have sex, drive my car, drink beer, skip school, or anything else- they're kids!
