What a immature inconsiderate *******!!!

[mummy2jack]

To those against marijuana and expressing their opinions like adults, without terrible, ignorant judgments- Thank you, and I totally understand why you would feel as you do. Not everyone is going to agree, after all it is an illegal substance, and well not the best thing to be doing, especially as a parent.

To those who aren't against marijuana but do not do it themselves, but may have a spouse who does- and just because your spouse may smoke marijuana doesn't mean they are terrible parents, in fact my OH does and can put most dads to shame and I don't need anyones approval there, lol Don't listen to the terrible judgments, you know your partener/spouse and that is all that matters.

To the moms who smokes marijuana daily, weekly, monthly, yearly- It doesn't define you. You are doing nothing terribly wrong. Yes breaking the law, shit...I've broke it probably already today, lol... not hard to do. You relax with a joint just as others relax with a drink, not a big deal to people who have the means to understand

To those who are AGAINST marijuana and feel the need to harrass or be ignorant and judgmental towards others on here- #1- I truly don't care... you aren't affecting me personally since I do have a life outside of this computer. #2- You are not perfect, no one is. #3 finding out your parents smoke marijuana isn't something most find life altering in any way... it doesn't do psychological harm nor does it cause the child (who chances are is a teen/adult) to loose trust, or respect for their parent. Why you might want to know? Well because we weren't raised with large sticks up our asses and sheltered from the real world and raised to be so darn judgmental and ignorant, which to me makes a very well rounded and openly honest person, which is being a good parent, IMO. Some of you ladies are being terribly rude, and go ahead and say, "oh I feel strongly about it, blah blah blah" I feel strongly about a lot of things too, yet I do not feel the need to judge someone on here, or hurt their feelings etc... IF I went around voicing my opinions on everything I feel strongly about, I would probably hurt a few feelings on here and to me, it's not worth it.

Someone said clearly you can find other ways to deal with things? Sure, and coming on here and judging someone else to help with our own insecurities is one of them, which I do not feel is needed.

I think some sticks need a removing, some joints need a smoking, some drinks need a drinking, some sex needs a having etc... and we can all come back, refreshed and maybe realize everyone has their own quirks and differences and one way or another it's okay to at lease one person.

Just because You feel it's wrong, doesn't make it wrong and bitching to people, or preaching isn't going to help, if anything you are adding to the stress in the world which causes more people to turn to pot to chill out hahaha sorry, had to say it.

Good day ladies, and why don't we all find something more productive to do than to sit here and argue when it doesn't change anything anyways?

I'm off to clean and cook some lunch as I am hungry, and no... not from the munchies! haha

This! All of this... I can't put it any better than this without saying some very bad words about certain opinions which I personally find very uneducated. I know I have researched weed and am comfortable with what I know. Has anyone who is anti-weed or are they just bent on saying it's 'drugs' and it's 'bad' lol? I don't mean to cause offense by saying that but a lot of the anti-weed posts have said 'weed is illegal, so it's bad' and that is that. Well, I am offended by such a narrow-minded view.
Wow... I must be missing out and it must be good to be on your high horse, 'cause I see a LOT of it going on in this place about certain topics, why can't everyone just respect and ACCEPT everyone else's opinion instead of repeatedly trying to make the minority feel like shit, which is exactly what is happening in this thread.
Sorry if I have offended anyone but when your lifestyles are attacked, that's what tends to happen-- you get mad and you want to stand up for yourself...

Here here xx

Yes, just today actually (classified maritimes) and I couldn't help but laugh, yet it is so true to so many! I get a kick out of him!

Thank you as well

 

[ShanandBoc]

I love how people who are against pot are somehow uneducated lol ? And u say that we shouldnt judge.

Sorry i think its societies place to judge parents who use illegal drugs around their children, whether the kids see it or not, they are in ur care.

But dont mind me, continue patting eachother on the back for ur drug use u all feel the need to so fervidly defend

 

[RinnaRoo]

Were trying to educate you on the MARIJUANA SUBJECT. Were supporting our argument. I don't think that any one said that those against Weed are uneducated in general, just maybe as to why it's illegal in the first place, and that against popular belief, we are not all irresponsible couch surfers that are unable to rear a child. Cause proof is typing this post.
It's not socieities place to judge anyone. Who are you to judge anyone? You or anyone for that matter are not more holy that Him, and should not pass judgement on any body. Who knows what kind of skelingtons you have in your closet.
I don't think that any one is patting anothers back for drug use, but for standing our ground and sticking up for our actions and choices

 

[ShanandBoc]

Thats exactly what you are doing

Supporting ur argument to do drugs, hmm ok, like i said dont mind me.......

Im sorry there are some things that should be judged, thats why we have laws.

Anyway im sick of going round in circles, lets just hope ur actions dont come back and bite u on the bum, which im sure they will

 

[RinnaRoo]

Do you have any idea how many girls PMed me to say thank you for standing your ground and not being scared to speak my mind? Even girls that don't smoke have PMed me.
So all in all, Im tired of defending myself, (but I will continue to) so I really think this should end. I'm sure if wearing green underwear was illegal you'd be too stubborn to even think about buying a pair from the guy in the house two blocks down.
I'm sure he has a nice fat sack of weed though.

 

[BlackBerry25]

RinnaRoo, don't worry about it.

Some people should not be in the debate section...yet they keep coming in and taking things way too personally.

Those of us on this side of the debate, like you said, are not all pot smokers nor are we all lazy stereotypical potheads. You are right

Shan, you seem to be the one stereotyping us all and then coming in and saying rude little remarks. No one is "patting each other on the back"

If I write in a McDonalds thread, that I don't agree with it, then its judging people who choose to feed their kids it. We say something about something that is not effecting our children whatsoever, and we are horrible parents. :eyeroll:

I don't get it.

We are allowed to have a different viewpoint. We have walked in different shoes then you. Maybe they aren't your style of shoes, or they don't fit your feet, but this is a global board, and people from all different cultures and viewpoints post here.
Its not rude to assume we are more educated on the legalisation process of marijuana, since we are the ones advocating and protesting for change to happen.

 

[BlackBerry25]

If you want us to "don't mind you"
WHY POST A PUBLIC POST FOR US TO READ?

Obviously you want us to read it, and thats what should be left out of this forum. Sarcasm.

Well then I seriously hope you've decided you are too sick of it to come back, sorry but I had to. As for things coming back and biting people? Yeah, maybe, since every action has a reaction but well, not everyone is as prudish as you and so rude. I usually don't say a whole lot but I tell ya, you are really bothering me and I don't think I am the only one wishing you to not come back on this thread.....

 

[BlackBerry25]

I don't know, but I feel like my posts usually are unrelated to others and are trying to point out other sides of the debate. I don't think I come in here to argue. I think its a valid point to be personally against marijuana, but I don't think its right to attack people who are for it, if you have no reasoning behind it except that fact that its illegal in some countries. It is illegal to be gay in some countries, does that mean the law is right?

(Not in response to anyone lol)

 

[RinnaRoo]

I love these girls!!!!

 

[xnmd1]

i wish this thread had a poll, so i could see who was in the minority.
TBH i think the reality of it all would be that the majority of people wouldn;t see a problem long as it wasn;t in front of kids.

 

[ShanandBoc]

Well ok, firstly i apologise if i have come across rudely. I dont like to be thought of as such, i really dont. The 'dont mind me' was because its hard not to get your back up when on this thread (esp over the last few pages) anyone who had a differing opinion got jumped on by 5 or 6 of you. You dont know how educated any of us are on the subject of dope

I guess its hard not to sound rude etc when this has turned into a pro weed thread, and there are many people who are against the use of drugs around children. That doesnt make one prudish.

Earlier in the thread i actually admitted that i used to smoke it for around 11 years, so did my ex that whole time too, all before i had my daughter mind u. I know first hand that it can affect you, and sometimes u dont realise until you are off of it how much so. I grew up with alot of people that smoked it too. In that 11 years nearly everyone i knew smoked it, grew it etc. And i have seen the effects on them too, including my ex whom i lived with during that 11 years, So my opinion of it is from first hand experience. I also researched alot about it when i was trying to give up, to try and make myself stop. Needless to say i dont hang around any of them anymore.

It can and does have detrimental emotional and mental consequences, not to mention other health issues from inhaling the smoke, thats just common sense. I really do hope it doesnt come back and bite any of u in the bum, i wasnt trying to be smart or rude when i said that, i find it really sad.

I too think a poll would be interesting, but its still not a reflection on how society as a whole views it.

Anyway im sorry again if i offended anybody, i am passionate about the subject as i know how it has affected me, and i never said any of you are terrible parents, not once. I just think its a bad habit. One that i struggled to give up, one that i seen many others struggle to give up also

 

[BlackBerry25]

Many people who smoke on a regular basis would use a vaporizer now, which removes toxins, as well as removing a financial strain, as you use less weed, as its more efficient.

It is the smoke that causes lung and respiratory problems.

Smoking pot in itself doesn't make someone a bad father. Plenty of attentive caring nurturing parents smoke pot. My husband smokes bud every day when he gets home and he is an excellent father. He doesn't drink and pot is his way to relax after a long day.

It can be very hard for young men to give up their vices, I know I'm married to one. But I have to remember that where I live its decriminalized and it's more socially accepted. I see people smoking outdoors in my neighborhood and when I'm downtown shopping.

I'll openly admit here that my OH smokes weed. He doesnt smoke it in my house and he is a great dad, he looks after his children.
People should really think before they write because its hurtful that people think because someone smokes weed they arent a good parent.

Edit: My brother has also smoked it for years. I know how it affects people and I dont like it. I dont smoke it and I wouldnt smoke it.

I have to say I've found your tone to be one of the rudest and most sarcastic and patronising to those who don't agree with smoking. If you're so comfortable with your decision then who cares what other people think?

 

[indy and lara]

The reality is that some people find some drugs acceptable, others don't. I don't like drugs as I have said already, because I choose to be in full control of my emotions and body. The same goes for alcohol before you jump all over me.

I find some of the comments above like people being 'prudish' because they choose not to take drugs or condone those who do really ridiculous. This isn't high school and peer pressure doesn't rule the roost. The reality is that many people who are antidrugs will think that taking drugs while a child is in the house (asleep or not) is not okay. I have never seen the attraction in escapism. Life here can be pretty great so I choose to get my 'highs' that way.

I agree. I dont like drugs and I dont take drugs. Judging people for not taking or had a try at taking them is not fair.
Like I said, My OH doesnt do it around my children or even when they are in bed. He smokes outside and they dont see what he does. If he chooses to smoke weed then what can I do to stop him? Im certainly not going to 'end' my relationship with him cos of it when in reality him smoking weed rarely comes into it.

This is what offended me, thank you very much and I wasn't calling anyone prude for not smoking marijuana... I do not smoke it! lol I used the term prude because I felt it was
appropriate here... maybe I am wrong, but I will give a definition.

a prude may have reservations about nudity, participating in romantic or sexual activity, drinking alcohol or consuming other drugs, or participating in mischief. These reservations usually stem from, or are at least justified by, moral beliefs. Actions or beliefs that may cause someone to be labeled a prude include advocating or practicing abstinence

what do I know though.

I just hate when people come onto someone and judge them, people can say "Oh I don't think you are a bad parent for smoking marijuana" but it's comments like I've quoted above which makes me seriously think otherwise.
