Can smell weed from the neighbours, will LO be ok?

[Feltzy]

I know not everyone believe marijuana can be a good thing for some people, even though scientific studies show it can be very helpful in treating certain symptoms. I know lots of people wouldn't ever do it, and think it's bad. I know and understand that, it just bothers me when I feel like my OH is being judged by one small thing he does which doesn't and isn't hurting anyone...

It doesn't matter what others think hun, alcohol and tobacco are WAY more dangerous than marijuana but plenty of people take these drugs without any judgement.

Dont worry, her oh smokes cigs too!

Sorry my point wasn't that people who smoke/drink should be judged (I drink and smoke cigarettes occasionally), just that a lot of people who smoke/drink will judge someone who smokes marijuana, when imo alcohol and tobacco are worse. I didn't get that point across very well lol.

Some people may say 'because its illegal' but the only reason alcohol and tobacco aren't illegal is because the government earn so much money from them.

It does my family absolutely no harm, so why would I have a problem with it?

is this the same family that think drink is poison? how can they think drink is poison if they smoke weed

I have just read all throught this thread and I have to say I pretty much agree with babybump. The op did the right thing moving her lo but why in gods name should she have had too. Her lil one had every right to be put in her cot and have a nice sleep. The morons next door smoking weed were breaking the law and they should be the ones punished.

thank you i love that pic of jessica in your avater(sp?) she is gorgeous! xxxx

Thankyou I just hate drugs and really cannot understand why people don't have a problem with them. The world would be a far better place without them and I will be drilling that into Jessica as she gets older I don't want her anywhere near them.

Hmm. A couple things about marihuana:

1. Unless you've grown & cultivated it yourself, you can't even say it is pure marihuana. Most stuff sold on the street is NOT, only medicinal is. A lot of marihuana is laced with a variety of substances, it is very common. You may think you know your dealer, but that stuff is usually passed through about 3-4 people before you get it. At least.

2. Breathing in smoke - any smoke - is not good for the lungs. This is a rather obvious point. If you or your OH like to smoke it, whatever, you are an adult and you are making the choice. I'm not sure why people would not be bothered that a mother would be upset that there is a lingering odor of marihuana in their child's bedroom. People have the right to not have illegal and harmful (smoke is harmful) substances in their own child's bedroom.

I didn't sift through all the posts, but I see the OP was going to speak to them. Good idea, I think. I'm sure they will be reasonable as a lot of marihuana users don't seem to realize how strong the odor can be and how much it can travel.

This is actually a common complaint at my job (I work in a police department too), and yes while it is illegal (although I could personally care less what people do on their own time), I think this mother has a right to not have her child exposed to a harmful illegal substance in her own home. Smoke pot, whatever, but do have consideration for your neighbours.

I'm not sure why someone would think that inhaling a substance into your lungs is not harmful. If you didn't grow it and cultivate it, you don't know what's in it. Even if it is pure for medicinal purposes, smoke is still harmful - medicinal purposes are for people whose illness (cancer, etc) is more severe than the risk from inhaling smoke. It's still harmful to them too - but it's a cost/benefit issue. If you choose to do it recreationally, that's your choice to make (after all, cigarettes and alcohol are not good for you either but all things in moderation I suppose), don't try and sugarcoat that it has no harmful properties. It does. You just decide what is reasonable for you or what isn't.

Backed up by studies or not it's illegal and tbh i think you will find most people would judge your OH for it, myself included as i find drugs just vile ... and i am not sure how you allow drugs to be around your kids (i don't mean drugs lying about, i mean your OH doing it, how it affects people, and that they monry he spends on drugs could be better spent elsewhere, like say on your childrens toys, school stuff etc, you get my drift)

I am just genuinely lost that some people think it's ok ............. it's scary

It isn't illegal where I am, first of all and there isn't many people who judge my OH here in real life as they get to know him for who he is (something that isn't done much anymore) and he doesn't announce it to everyone he meets...

?? Are you saying that marihuana is not illegal in New Brunswick? It certainly is... check the CDSA (Controlled Drugs & Substances Act), section 4. Is it enforced? Not too often (personal possession and being under the influence, unless while driving), but it is still illegal.

Hell, if it ain't legal here in Vancouver, it ain't legal on the East coast! LOL! Over here, small amounts (personal possession) is almost always seized for destruction without charge, but that doesn't mean that the actual criminal offense doesn't exist and can be forwarded to court.

Ditto

Same goes for drinking alcohol & smoking. I would be ecstatic if all three were made illegal. X

Well, a huge percentage of Canadians smoke weed, and I think the whole "arguement" started with someone saying all pot smokers are low life thugs, which is not true. A lot are just every day WORKING people. And for not raising a kid around drugs...impossible, unless you live on some private island. I come across a smoker every time I go outside.

No one has said it is ok to smoke near a child, pot smoke or tobacco smoke.

Well.. I dunno if it's a huge percentage, but I'm sure it is a larger percentage than other countries proportionally.

But yes, you are correct that a lot of normal everyday working people smoke pot. I have seen it plenty of times at my work. A lot of "average joes" sit down and smoke a joint once in a while on the weekend. They just don't do it in front of others or let it linger into their neighbour's condo! And TBH, the police really don't care in the grand scheme of things - that I can promise cause it's actually one of our lowest priority calls, LOL.

People would be surprised what their normal average neighbours do

I have to say my OH has always been mad to visit Canada but that isnt going to happen now not with me and my lil one.

no there is no way I can keep her away from smokers walk out the front door and you will bump into a smoker but as for drugs I go out nearly everyday and never come into known contact of drugs, not saying some people dont have it in there pockets though. But as soon as she is old enough to understand and take in the information she will have it drumed into her that drugs are bad I will do whatever it takes.
