Ah... lol, here comes the 'illegal' thing again. As far as I know, pot is NOT illegal in every country like every other drug, if pot was THAT bad, would it not be outlawed everywhere like heroin, crack, ecstasy, etc?
No strong movements hereno problems either!!!
If my OH smoked a joint and we needed to go to hospital, the sheer panic would sober him up enough that in all honesty it wouldn't bother me for him to drive (only in an emergency) but I also do have a valid drivers license, as well as around 1000 people in my town, area which I could get to drive me if need be. I am sure most people have neighbors, and I mean if you want to never have a sip of wine or what have you, just because something might happen and you might need to drive someone to the hospital that is really not teaching your children well either is it? Lets raise a bunch of paranoid people who do not know how to enjoy themselves without thinking What if What if What if. I understand your point, but to live in constant fear or worry, isn't a good idea at all either.
Also my post you quoted was a joke, and really I shouldn't care.
Also, I know a few who aren't too sharpe without smoking marijuana, lol... sometimes it's not needed to slow things down.
Joke... just so you know.
Also yes, we chose to have children. I was there, so I am sure I know and understand that part, but that doesn't mean everything needs to change. I can guarentee my home is just as safe, loving, caring, open, warm as anyone elses. Even though " Dum dum dummmmm" pot has been in it!
I am sorry about your friends child, that must have been terrifying
You do understand it is not medically possible for a 'shock' to rid someones system of a toxin that affects their brain. You might think he can scare himself sharp but the reality is, his reactions would be delayed. Not to mention again, driving under the influence is illegal, or do you think you can simply say 'Its ok office he got a scare so he's no longer dangerous
Look hunnie, I know my husband, I know how he reacts, and trust me when I say this (or don't, I'm a shady pot head lover with no morals, and break the laws like a total bad ass) but it wouldn't worry me if my husband just smoked a joint and we had to rush to the hospital. Say and think what you want, you aren't here so you do not know. Everyone reacts differently, just like 1 drink. I know many who can have 4-5 and still be under the legal limit and still be okay to drive. I though, am not one of them and wouldn't drive even after a sip. I know my body.
It's not about paranoia, it is about making sure you stay sharp. What I'm teaching my child is responsibility. That if there is a possibility you might need to drive, avoid taking a mind bending substance. I don't sit and worry all the time, I simply don't think that having a drink is so important and so vital that it absolutely must be done, regardless of the potential consequences.
Sure the majority of the time an ambulance is available but it does happen, especially in town, on a Friday and Saturday - ironically because they're so busy scooping up drunks. And it happens more often than you would think. But it only takes once. Just the other day there was a report in my home town that a baby had died because they were unable to get an ambulance to their home. Is a glass of wine worth that, no matter how small the chances are of it happening?
But for those who think it is perfectly ok. If you had a child in day care or used a babysitter and you discovered they were drinking or smoking whilst your child was in care, do you really think you'd be ok with that.
ETA: I did get that your link was a joke. But unfortunately people will seriously take that attitude. In that respect, it just wasn't funny.

My thoughts exactly
he has a small small joint, and only really smokes a good amount if out at a party, which happens maybe once a year or less.....You are saying what you think, but enough is enough.
That too is totally unacceptable. It amazes me how people think it is in any way, the right thing to do.
First of all, I'm not anyone's "hunnie"
I have no need to "lighten up" I'm relaxed enough as it is - and I am capable of being that way without chemical adjustment - legal or otherwise. If you need "something" to help you relax, I'd suggest there are bigger problems at play. That women choose to drink when they are in charge of children is their business. Whilst it remains legal that is their choice. As long as they are aware they can be charged with neglect if they are found unable to properly care for their children and fully understand the risks they are taking. What is worrying is that so many seem not to accept there are risks which means they really have no idea what they are doing. Personally, I don't feel that alcohol (or any drug) is a neccesary thing to have in my life. I'm not so sure what is so wrong with that.
In an emergency, that means a lot to me. I want to be the best mother I can be to LO and for that, I need sleep. Pills are addictive, and as I said, have no effect on me. Pot is not addictive and has the effect I need it to have.
Just wanted to share my opinion xx
