i feel i have a great opportunity to talk to my child about drugs. all drugs. she knows she can asks me anything. and she knows it is medicine for me. Just like prescription drugs it can be a medicine and it can be abused. the difference is if you are taking care of your life.
any other parents smoke medical marijuana in front of their children? i debated this for sometime. to hide it is telling them we're doing something wrong, and they figure it out anyways.
i know some people have very strong feeling against this. so many more children are harmed watching their parents drink. so relax CPS is not beating down my door.

I don't smoke medicinal marijuana, nor do I know anyone that does, but I think as long as you are explaining to the child that it's for medical purposes, not just getting high, then you are doing the right thing. And as long as you are taking the correct precautions to protect your child while under the influence and not letting them breathe in the second hand smoke, then I think you are on the right track. I truly hope that you get better from whatever it might be that's making you so sick. Good luck!

If you legally are aloud to smoke pot...because of illness I still don't think you should smoke in front of your child...there is such a thing as a "contact high" and it is possible if you smoke around your child then they will be getting high. This would be NOT GOOD.
It is great that you can communicate with your child so openly! And you are right about abuse. But I would not be comfortable or able to do it in front of my own children under any circumstances. I hope your health improves and this will no longer be a question you have to deal with. Best wishes.

I guess it's no different than a white woman killing her newborn twins: Iowa – A woman deliberately killed her two newborn girls not long after giving birth last week and left them in the trunk of her vehicle, authorities say. Jackie Burkle, 22, of Huxley, Iowa, appeared in court Wednesday after her arrest Tuesday on charges of two counts of first-degree murder. Bond was set at $500,000 on each of the two counts. If convicted, she will spend the rest of her life in prison. Burkle admitted killing the children, police said in a criminal complaint. No information has been presented about how far along she was in the pregnancy when she gave birth, how long the babies were alive before they died, or where Burkle was when she gave birth. "The defendant further admitted that she intended to end their lives and was not at any time intending that they would live," Huxley Police Chief Mark Pote wrote in his complaint. Investigators said they believe Burkle killed the twin girls around 7:30 a.m. Friday. Police went to Burkle's apartment the next morning after a co-worker told authorities that the woman had appeared pregnant at work Thursday but did not look pregnant Saturday. Authorities haven't said where Burkle works. After receiving the tip, officers spoke with Burkle, who agreed to go to the hospital for a blood test, which showed she had recently been pregnant, according to the complaint. During a second interview, Burkle told investigators where she had put the two bodies, and police found the twins dead in the trunk.

Someone should call CPS on you. No it is not alright. Others have already listed the health reasons why it isn't ok.
However, it is an illegal drug and should not be done in front of your child. Did a DR really prescribe this??? If parents of your child's friends found out you had that crap in the house many of them likely wouldn't allow thier children over. I know I wouldn't.

Absolutely NOT. Any amount of smoke, whether it's cigarette smoke, marijuana, or whatever you may be smoking, is harmful to your child and you should absolutely not smoke in the presence of your child. Ever.
And FYI, "thumbs-downing" all the answers that you don't like doesn't make you right. LOL.

It is incredibly irresponsible of you to get high in front of your child. Strong pain medication can be prescribed too but I wouldn't take it when I had to care for my child. Grow up! You're an adult.

i think that its ok to smoke weed. someone said that you shouldnt be smoking it around the kids because of the smoke. maybe you are smoking it outside in front of them? i dont think it is in anyway wrong of you to smoke weed period, medicinal or not, but maybe you should just tell them you smoke it and why you smoke it, do you have to smoke it in front of them?
