Opinions On Drugs & Having a Child. Posted: 04-29-06 20:40pm
Okay so some of you don't know this but I
smoke marijuana, someone on the internet
called me a bad mom yesterday and I just
wanted to get everyones views on it. I
don't think it's all that bad, as I don't
do it in front of him or even in the house
for that matter, and it's not like i'm
sh*tfaced (like allie) and am not able to
care for him.
It's just a nice buzz really, one that I
like. I don't smoke ciggs anymore, or do
any type of other drugs but smoke weed
everyday.
So who does it? Who doesnt?
Opinions please, call me a bad mom and
i'll tie you to a tree and have big bubba
rape you.
Fer real.

I dont see anything wrong with it as long
as your not doing it everyday 24/7 , it
never sat well on me always made me tired
and health forum but both my parents did,
my friends and their parents do as well I
can actually say I know cops,judges etc
who smoke!!
As long as it isnt substance abuse(by
substance abuse I mean anything that
interferes with daily living!!) I see
nothing wrong with it, its like drinking
once in awhile!!
"d" your a an awesome mom and dont listen
to other ppl as long as your child is
happy your not neglecting him and your
happy who gives a caca!
F*ck everyone else..................Btw
where the "d" I used to know who would
have called her a c*ntface lol!!

I don't think there is anything wrong with
it. I think alcohol is 10 times worse. I
used to smoke every day but quit before I
got preggo (mainly because it's impossible
to find and our dealer went to jail, lol).
If it was cheaper and easier to get i'd
probably go back to smoking regularly
after the baby is born, but I won't since
it definitely won't be in our budget. But
yeah, as long as you're not doing it
around the baby, I see nothing wrong it.

Lmao sarah did u ask your doc how long
itll take to leave your system? That
alway bothered me cuz I know I can drink
and just not feed him for 12 hourssih but
what about smoking? Cant really ask your
doc about an illegal drug. But yea I
smoke when im not prego or breastfeeding.
Not everydfay mainly cuz thatd be to
expensive but whenever its available and
most of the time it just mellows me out so
I can still care for my babies I would
never smoke around them or in the house
its ok d I still love ya

Eh. Whatever.
It's not something i'd ever do, but then I
also grew up with a pothead father and
stupidass pothead friends so I don't have
great memories/experiences with it.
In the end, we all have things we do to
relax and most of them are bad without
moderation. Be it drinking, smoking pot,
eating junk food in front of the tv or
having sex. If it doesn't interfere with
your parenting ability or normal life then
it isn't a problem.
I don't agree with it but I don't have any
judges or opinions on other people doing
it that don't directly affect my daughter.
It was basically the major reason I broke
up with my ex. Him and his family all
smoke it regularily, and I don't like who
they are at all. However I do know other
people who smoke it and are great people.
I don't think your a bad parent for doing
it, that is your decision and if you and
your family are okay with it then there
isn't a problem.
Well I mean what I think is, yeah I smoke
weed, so? I don't sit on my booty all day
eating cheetos and not doing anything with
myself, I still go to school & work
everyday.
I like feeling high, but it really really
bothers me some girl, who don't even know
me comes off and says i'm a bad mother,
when I know for a fact i'm not! Talking
about brayden in anyway hits a soft spot
of mine...I love him a lot and would never
think about hurting him emotionally or
physically =(
my mom knows I smoke, and I asked her if
she thought I was a bad mother (that girl
saying that really made me mad!) and she
was like "oh dalicia god no!" and we
started talking about all those children
who get abused by their parents, for
instance this one lady stuck her baby in
the microwave, and we thought of how lucky
bray was that he gets love and all the
toys & clothes I buy him (mom too)
my mom said "if that girl is saying you're
a bad mother by puffing on the green a
bit, then she needs to get in check and
realize there's way worse things than
smoking weed!"
honey, I smoke it too!!
Lol...Glad you broke the ice. I'm
smoking because i'm not allowed to breast
feed right now, but as soon as the .Dr
gives me the ok to go back to the breast,
imma quit...But for now, light it up!!

i'm glad i'm not alone!

I would feel like a hypocrite if I told
you that you shouldn't smoke weed, because
I used to be a horrible pothead. But,
it's really not good for you. I don't
think it will affect you being a good
mother, but it's just not good for you. I
quit smoking about 2 years ago, maybe a
little less, but I used to be high
constantly. I wish I never would have
started smoking, because the reality is
that i'd probably be a lot further in life
if I wouldn't have. I don't look down on
people who smoke, I just think it's
healthier not too. But, you are a great
mother either way!
As long as what you do doesn't affect your
child(ren), and doesn't come before them,
then I see nothing wrong with it. If
you're going to get high, do it after your
child goes to sleep outside.
A girl I use to work with thought it was
hilarious that she had "back-up" weed and
no money in her wallet(and she had a 5
year old daughter)........ That's sad!!!
It doesn't affects bray's health and
that's all i'm concerned about!
I think i'm making it pretty good in life
at the moment, too.

I'm not saying you have a bad life at all.
I am just saying I messed a lot of caca
up in my life because I was a pothead.
But then again, I smoked about 6 times a
day everyday for 3 years straight. Bad
decision, especially when you drink every
weekend for about a year too. You should
care about your health though.

weed is not addictive, weed doesnt f*ck
you up like alcohol the only bad thing is
does to ppl is make them temporarily
stupid I know I asked the dr and had to do
a study on it in highschool. Just
because it messed up your life doesnt mean
its gonna mess up "d"s or anyone elses for
that matter I still smoke once in a blue
moon but hey its a natural relaxant to me
and helps me sleep.
Smoking weed 6 times a day isnt the
smartest doing it thing to do their hun
no wonder it messed up your life you
abused it I donty think "d" is but
everyday 1+ time a day is substance abuse
because it is taking over your priorities
once every weekend or two is nothing as
long as she aint lifting her kid for about
an hour after the buzz!
Its the same as taking advil or
painkillers etc everyday for pain that is
substance abuse!!
I smoke a joint a day and i'm fine with
picking up bray and etc, im not stoned out
of my mind just in a feel good state.
I dont smoke the joint all at once either,
I just puff on it through-out the day

Damn diamondsz, you really are a stupid
b*tch. Nowhere in my post did it say it
was going to medical question her life up
did i? Learn how to doing it read before
you comment. I didn't say it was
addictive either. I know why it messed my
life up, I don't need you telling me. Why
don't you take your head out of your @ss
and quit thinking you are better than
other people. You don't know sh*t about
me and I wasn't even talking to you. Go
screw yourself.

Ok...Well I dont want to get involved in
this little..Uhh..Fight that is occuring.
However I do have my two cents to throw
in.
1) smoking weed is addictive. No it is
not physically addictive, but it can be
mentally addictive. Trust me, being the
child of a drug addict, I know lots about
addiction. People dont consider it to be
addictive because it isnt physically, and
therefore people dont go through physical
withdrawal when coming off of it. But it
can be mentally addictive, as the addict
seeks the specific relaxed mental state
that goes along with smoking weed. Over
time if you are a heavy smoker it takes
more and more to achieve the same buzz,
which goes along with addiction. In
saying that however, not everyone who uses
it becomes addicted.
2) before getting pregnant I smoked a bit
every day as well..Mostly in the evening
to calm my nerves and help me relax a bit.
I dont think that smoking makes you a bad
mother. As long as you realize that you
do need to care for your son (which I know
you do), and you would always put him
first I dont see a problem. I might
classify it as a problem if there was a
situation you knew was going to occur that
would require you being entirely coherent
(an important doctors appointment or
something)..And you disregarded that fact
and smoked up anyway. As long as your
smart about it and recognize that it can
affect your child's life when he is
older.
Just another insight perhaps. My mother
was an addict of several different things
through my early teen years. Now that
shes clean of everything else she still
smokes weed. The first time I ever smoked
she got me high, and she encourages us to
only smoke when we are at home or in
another safe place. I think that by her
being so open about it, it taught me and
my siblings some responsibility and to
know when appropriate times to smoke were.
Dalicia dont take this as me attacking you
in any way cause im really not.
