The only reason I don't smoke pot is that it's illegal. If Erik's mom ever tried to get custody of Rowan I wouldn't want her to have anything to use against me. So I stay away from pot. These things would make me look like a bad mother (by some other people's standards).

That said, I don't think pot is evil. I don't even understand why it's illegal if alcohol is legal. Driving while under the influence is responsible for so many deaths, people die of alcohol poisoning, etc. Yet for some reason the drug that makes you want to eat a whole pan of just-made warm gooey rice crispy squares and listen to some ska is illegal. Makes no sense to me.

I miss pot, and it's one of the most harmless things I've done. I think alcohol is far more destructive.

As soon as pot is legal I will smoke it again. That doesn't mean I'm going to smoke bongs around Rowan, or let her be around a bunch of stoned strangers, just like I'm not going to get plastered out of my mind around her.

WHat I meant by I grew up was "I really grew up".. meaning I got older and realized that I had a step son and he didn't need to see roaches in a ash try and I had to hide things all the time in my home if someone one came over and hide the smell.. I meant I really grew up..
I did not mean you where immature.. Smile

you are not a loser!!! fun things are hard to control.. I like wine.. I don't drink it everyday but I woudn't mind.. It doesn't make you a loser..

If you are like me you like the mellow feeling you get from it..
It's not hard to control. I have plenty of control, I just like to do it because it makes me giggle a little more and also makes me mellow Smile

Everyone has their opinions and that is fine...I just know how my body reacts to ANY kind of smoke and would never subject myself or any one else to it if I can help it, legal or not. I have never had any desire to try a cigarette or pot or any other drug for that matter, I am not a goody-two-shoes, I just feel, personally (not trying to offend anyone) I have more sense than that. I was, stupid enough to drink underage and that got me into trouble...now I don't hardly touch the stuff. Again, this is just my personal opinion.

to those who think only losers smoke pot, i think you would be *very* surprised at the people in your lives who do smoke. (i don't mean immediate lives like family, i mean anyone you know.) it's just not talked about because of the stigma.

I agree. Dom's mum does it and she's a pre school teacher

I smoked in front of a cop once. . . I didn't know he was a cop until my friend brought me to his house. We all chilled and before we smoked it came out that he was a cop but didn't care that we smoked. That was a little scary.

Well if i didn't have my kids i would still be doing it. I enjoy it, and i miss it too. Just like Tanya said. But i know if someone got ahold of information on me smoking i would be labeled as a bad parent by a few select people i know, and they just might turn me into social services, but it's ok for me to go to a bar, and get sh%t faced? I don't get it.

My favourite teacher worked nights at the bar, and if you were there and sat around talking to him he'd offer to get you high.

He was the best teacher I have ever had, and one of the most exceptional and clever people I've ever known.

He had one wooden leg, and I had one huge crush.

You know, I don't understand where people get off saying pot is so horrible for you and it does this and this and this to you and it makes you such a bad person and stupid and immature and incapable. I bet half the people who say it, never even tried it. ANd if it's not for you fine, but you can't label it for a few idiots mistakes that were made. Hint: it's the person on the weed that makes the difference, not the actual weed (if that makes any sense to any of you).

i've never done it..but i don't have a problem with it..
my brother and his wife do it
my parents used to do it..
my english teacher at my PRIVATE SCHOOL did it..

TONS of people you would never expect do it..
it's not a terrible thing at all..
it's all herbal (unless it's laced..then it's a bad deal)
but i agree with all you ladies saying that alcohol is way more dangerous than a lil marijuana
