Why do people think it's so bad to smoke pot around kids. It relaxes you, so what's the big deal?

Question

l'm not saying l do it, l just mean if it has no adverse effects on the parenting, why are people so against it?

Answer 1

Listen, my mother and father and all my family smoked around me, and to be honest with you it really did affect me as far as the way I look at people who smoke now, Ihave no problem with it and I do not see it as a debilitating drug. They were complete advocators of the drug and I believe advocating to children should only be done in SCHOOL so keep it away from them, and let them make their own minds up.

Answer 2

Um, yes ... and coke gives you energy, so why don't you give them some of that? And heroin really relaxes you, so just leave some on the kitchen table for everyone. And, on that note - why don't you just smoke some crack around them?

Oh, and let's see - while your doing a great benefit to your children, you can also help them out with this smart guy ...
problems with memory and learning
distorted perception (sights, sounds, time, touch)
difficulty in thinking and problem solving
loss of coordination
increased heart rate
anxiety
panic attacks
People who smoke marijuana often have the same respiratory problems as cigarette smokers - ever hear of secondhand smoke genius???
These individuals may have daily cough and phlegm, symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and more frequent chest colds. They are also at greater risk of getting lung infections like pneumonia. Marijuana contains some of the same, and sometimes even more, of the cancer-causing chemicals found in cigarette smoke.

Marijuana affects memory, judgment and perception. Learning and attention skills are impaired
Longitudinal research on marijuana use among young people below college age indicates those who use marijuana have lower achievement than the non-users
more acceptance of deviant behavior
more delinquent behavior and aggression
greater rebelliousness
poorer relationships with parents
more associations with delinquent and drug-using friends

Why wait to let them ruin their own life with drugs??
I pray you never have children, and there is never a child left in your care. You obviously do not have the mental capacity to handle it.

Answer 3

Because it is illegal and sets a terrible example..Parents who smoke weed become lethargic and apathetic (go look those big words up. I don't have time to explain them to you). Reaction time is slowed down greatly..What happens if the parent is high and the kid needs a ride somewhere? Or what if the kid is injured? How would someone who is high be able to make split-second decisions?? And, have you ever heard of second hand smoke inhalation ?? Second hand smoke is very bad for kids and can make them sick..Duh!

Answer 4

Your a complete dumb ass if you do that.So many pot heads do that not caring that they are setting a BAD example to the kids.Anyone who parties in front of kids is stupid if you ask me.Nothing like seeing your parents all ****** up on drugs or DRUNK....yea,nothing like that are happy memories believe me!Parenting is firstly about setting a good example.Kids are always watching even when you think they are not.

Answer 5

Because one day they will be old enough to talk and being as kids say whatever they are thinking they are bound to blab. Than you will go to jail.

Answer 6

OMFG! Marijuana is a drug and its ILLEGAL! If its ok to smoke pot in front of children, people should also shoot up heroin in front of children right? Doesn't that relax people? A drug is a drug is a drug!
