*For those of you who have no idea what is going on I appologize in advance for my potty mouth.*
I just got one of those private messages from a mom here telling me how horrible I am about what I wrote on the "Legalizing MJ" poll.
(I'm voting yes on this one. If you are going to start saying that pot maybe why some parents ignore thier children then the internet can be partially to blame too. I used to smoke before getting pregnant with our 3rd child. I was a habitual smoker. To be honest it I think it made me a better parent and I was healthier. I actually paid attention more to my kids. Habitual pot smokers are serious deep thinkers. Don't belive it? Think about when you were younger or have been around people who have used. They are always coming up wiht great ideas. In the 8 years I used I never once saw "high" person get into a fight. NEVER! As for driving when smoking you pay more attention to your surroundings (most of the time). I would much rather meet a person who had been smoking and driving than one that was drinking and driving. Legalizing MJ would generate revenue for our country. It would save us money too. All these people who get arrested for little crap and spend a few years in jail could be avoided and keep room avalible for people who really need to be there. Not to mention MJ has many many other uses. Hemp can be used for anything from lotions to clothing and paper. Which saves trees. Since I have quit smoking I have been put on 5 different "lab made" medication. 1 for depression 1 for nausea 1 for anxiety 1 to increase my appitite and 1 to relive pain. If it were legal I'd smoke it if nothing but to get the "unnatural" drugs out of my body. I'm not ashamed of that.)
I want to set the record straight. For starters at no time did I ask for your opinion on my parenting skills. Secondly since when do you think I really give a flying crap what you think about me, my problems, or the people on my friends list? I appologize that I gave you the impression that your opinion was welcome in a negative way.
I for one have never lowered myself to disrespect another woman without being disrespected first. Even then sometimes I am known to turn the other cheek. I welcome all resonable opinions to anything I post. If I didn't I wouldn't post them publicly. DUH COMMON SENSE! Just becuase I have smoked weed doesn't mean I am abusing my children. They are well fed and dress better than I do. I would have never dared to take from them for me ever! Kids are kids and if moms didn't learn to "ignore" thier kids on occasion we'd all be nutty. So yeah at times I ignore my kids. All of them have cried thier self to sleep more than once and have had thier ass busted at one time or another. I have went the wrong route and yelled at them at times and regreted it later. Does that mean it won't happen again. No. It means sometimes you can't help it regardless of the situation. So for you to sit there and tell me that me smoking pot is the reson my sons school called me the other day is for lack of a better words pretty damn ignorant. And just for kicks no I'm not brain dead. I am inteligent. My lack of typing skills I make up for in actual brain usage. Its a result of reading too much and not sitting my fat ass down in front of a computer screen all day. So thats that.

Good for you! We have all done things that have been learning experiences and we are better for them - not worse. Thanks for standing up for yourself!
High 5 .. I can't believe someone would comment you on your comment in a public post where your not the only one saying yes to making pot legal that just gets me where the sun don't shine.. ggeezzz.. that suxs and I don't smoke pot nor have I ever, but I agree with making pot legal.. no matter if pot was legal or not people are going to continue to smoke it.. but that doesn't make you a bad person or parent because you have smoked pot .. to me that would be saying that every person that drank with their children in the home at the time is a bad person and bad parent.. because I'll tell you what I have been around a lot of drunks in my life and a lot of high people in my life and I sure as hell would rather be around a high person then a drunk person!!!
peace ~~ penny
ps.. I applaude you for handling that hen picker with dignity the way you did!
