Oh One more thing......
I would rather see my child when older smoke pot than become addicted to prescription paid medications... like his biological father did. My son right now is on a medication that cases large amounts of weight gain and diabetes, tremors, etc... look up Risperidone and the side effects. If he were older and marijuana could help him without all of those side effects I would sure rather him do it. I would put my son's best interests before my pride or ignorance any day. I know people who had injuries, became addicted physically to pain meds and ended up shooting up etc... because of Codiene! My son's biological father went in and out of jail, tried to commit suicide numerous time, abandonded his son because of pain medication originally prescribed for a shattered heel.... not pot.
When my OH stopped smoking it as he planned to join the armed forces, he stopped... that was that. I'm sure he missed it, lol but had no physical withdrawl symptoms, yet someone from pain medication after a few weeks of needing it could need weaned off slowly with methadone treatment. A LOT more people become addicted to pain medication than marijuana and it's A LOT harder to get off it than marijuana.
I also smoked it in my high school years, but wasn't addicted... every now and then I would smoke one with friends... You can drink without being an alcoholic cant you?
