Will you still smoke weed if/when you have kids?

I'd encourage them to smoke (after they turn 15 or so).I'm not a pothead by any stretch, but smoking weed really opens up your mind, and i think it can be seen as a crucial aspect of the growing up process, they need that quality of it. It's fun too, lol. :)

I wouldn't encourage it because I think it's kind of something you need to find on your own, but I would make sure they're aware of my views and know they can ask me anything, know how to be smart about it, all that good stuff
 
I dont plan of having kids for at least 5 years, so who knows, it might get legalized by then.

But otherwise, I would only smoke outside of the house. I doubt I would be buying it, but if offered at a friends house or something, sure
 
I have kids now in their 20's & I only smoked after they grew up a bit.One doesn't touch it & the
other smokes.We sometimes smoke together now.I don't see anything wrong with it if they are old enough.I would rather they smoked than drink alcohol.But that is just my opinion!
 
If marijuana's still illegal when I have children, no, I'm not going to smoke it.

That's irresponsible parenting to risk criminal charges and social service involvement when you're 100% responsible for the welfare of something as vulnerable as a child.



It's not a matter of personal preference for me because I sure as hell would love to smoke bud as I transition into that stage of my life, but I'm not going to do anything that risks me having to go backwards or, even worse, remain stagnant in life.
 
I think I'll still smoke, it's a pretty casual thing to do around here. Everyone is smoking with their parents. I live in Cali though so I'm sure it'll be legal by then.
I'd wait until I thought they were mature enough for it, but I'd try to be secretive about it until then.
 
As far as the legality issue goes, I'll let them know how I feel about it if it's illegal but I won't risk charges. I would want them, however, to understand that I don't approve of the law and I feel one should thoroughly think over moral issues and fight for what they think is right. At the same time, I'm not going to risk fucking over my family just because I disagree with a law.
 
sure i'd smoke even when i have my own family. it's no different than getting drunk. weed simply have a social stigma to it because it's an illegal drug in most states. but ironically weed is the safest recreational drug...no known case of anybody OD'ing on weed
 
Absolutely! the most confusing aspects of my life are the ones my parents were not straight forwwards about, since as a child you trust your parents more than anyone a curtain over an obvious aspect of life... confuses the child.

i'll keep smoking it AND tell them thouroughly what it is.
 
yes. i will grow it as well. i am not going to smoke around my children though (unless they're over the age of 18 ) and I'm not going to broadcast it. I'll probably smoke after they go to bed, and probably a lot less than I do now.....but mostly for time reasons, since I assume once I have kids i'll have a lot more shit to get done each day. :) But I'm also assuming my stress level is going to be high when taking care of kids, I'm going to need it at least a couple of times a week.

I'll probably be that mom with a q.p. in the closet, that my teenager thinks I don't notice when he takes some from it. and hell, as long as he gets good grades, I won't say anything.
But I'll never smoke around my babies or toddlers. i can wait until after they fall asleep, and then go sit on the porch and relax with a bowl.
 
Why wouldn't you teach your kids that cannabis is medicine, and teach them to have respect and reverance for this sacred plant (if you ever have them)? Would you honestly be afraid of legal trouble? If 90% of sexual assault crimes go unreported (often perpetrated by a sick fucking family member), then why would you assume your kids would report you for un poco mota (especially when the plant should never have been criminalized in the first place)?

As for me, I will still consume cannabis if and when I ever have kids. And I will be sure sure teach them the history behind the contemptible criminalization of Our Lady Mary Jane.
 
Personally I would only smoke it when they weren't around and I would not smoke it in my home. From a young enough age I'm sure they would know there was a funny smell.
 
I never actually stopped smoking when my kids were born, but I kept it very discreet. I never left anything out anywhere and I slowly got rid of overt signs such as my pot leaf t-shirt & 4 foot bong. My oldest is 22 now & lives in Cali - she's a huge pothead & grows some awesome herb. My other daughter is 19 and lives at home... she knows I smoke and she doesn't care for it, but she accepts the fact. My son is 13 and he's got learning disabilities. He doesn't know I smoke & do other things, and he would be devastated if he knew. I also worry about him accidentally saying the wrong thing & getting me busted. He's very easily influenced by others and I have a bad feeling that if he smoked, he'd soon overdo it and not know how to make himself inconspicuous. He's the type of person who should not do any drugs.

I cut back when the kids were small, and I never really encouraged them. I tried to teach them that not all laws are good, not all drugs are that bad, etc., but in a non-direct manner so they wouldn't think I was trying to influence them into using. I think it's their own decision whether to smoke or not, and I respect that.

The past few years I've gotten more into psychedelics again and I never trip when the kids are around. But that's a whole nother issue...
 
I would still smoke yes. When they are at a very young age I would not have it out on show for them to see, nor would i smoke it/prepare it in front of them.

When they hit their teens and they are old enough to know what it is, I shall explain to them that i smoke.

And like previous posts have said, parents get drunk in front of their children all the time and can become very aggressive or have dramatic mood swings when drunk. I personally think its better to have a joint, the worst your going to do is laugh at stupid stuff, fall asleep, or eat everything in sight. Thats not really setting a bad example compared to what could happen if you was ridiculously drunk lol
 
nowt like getting the baby finally off to sleep and having a nice big spliff.... when they get a bit older and they ask - tell them ur putting tobacco in your cigarette. when they're older still you've got to be a bit surruptitious and hope they don't notice. From teens into adulthood you'll have to hide your stash well or they'll steal it!!!
