What the fuck. Why is it such a big deal to do so? My baby's mom never had a problem with me smoking till we had a kid, and other parents think it's awful as well. I'd much rather smoke and go to bed by 12 then drink all night and feel like shit the next day.
She wants you to live long enough to support the kids, tbh
Somewhat common around here in California
The difference is: a drinker still is not allowed to booze everyday. Plus it's difficult and usually weights on the person morally to be (secretly) drunk around the kids/family. While stoners have always been secretly high so it comes natural: just spray cologne and put in eye drops da-da [no different than lighting up cigarette right?]. Sometimes you can still tell and bottom line you are not sober while around the family.
I know some smokers that have the ability to ONLY smoke after 8PM+: all workday sober and came home, had sober dinner, finished the home duties and then lit up. But this is very rare. Eventually there will simply be times that you sneak a toke before work or light up right after coming home from work. Or bringing it with you when commuting long distances. AND main point for your significant other: there will be times on the Weekend when you light up in the daytime.
Some of my smokers realize it's over once kids come into the picture. The others seem to not have desire in kids. One of my good friends quit after kids, now he lights up rare occasions. If you don't quit, how can you properly teach your kids about drug awareness? You will be nothing more than a hypocrite and they will eventually come across your stuff or in general catch on.
When I smoked daily [still always been a drinker] the thought of sober life was very odd. Realizing i will have to go weeks and even months without a foreign substance in my body. But this is when I am at my best. When I mentally and physically reaching my potential. No matter who you are, if you have smoked within the past 10 days, you are not at your 100% best. You also face hurdles in life differently when you are able to use marijuana as a crutch. Essentially any substance you take on a daily basis is bad news.
If you truly only smoked on weekends. I believe it's different.
"my baby's mom"
:lmao
My gf quit smoking years ago, and as of late tried to make it known that she thinks I should be "growing out of it"..
I stopped that shit right there like wtf this ain't a phase.. I have made compromises and cut down drastically, and only smoke when everyone is crashed out these days. I'll stop when I'm good and ready.
Damn, the truth. Grow the fuck up, man-child. If it's a Friday or Saturday night type thing after the kid's asleep then go at it. But like he said, usually not the case.Quote:

Tbh I call her my baby momma because we aren't married, but using the word "girlfriend" sounds odd when you factor in kids.
And it is a weekend type deal, or something to use to go to bed. If there is an emergency, she can drive.
A nigga wants to get high and get his dick sucked. What is the world coming to if I can't get that?
..and they see and know EVERYTHING. I knew my parents were high flyers when I was like 5.. they would leave the bong out when they had company over, and I can remember finding it in their hiding spot and smelling it. I always knew the smell of weed, and I can remember all the people in my life at that time who's house had that smell.Quote:

Tbh by the time my son is 18, I'd be more mad if he didn't pass it then if I found out he were smoking.
I only toke up after my kid goes to bed, and only on weekends. Not nearly as much as I used to- an eighth-ounce lasts me 4-5 months now, whereas in the past I'd smoke through a quarter-ounce in a week or two. And I'm never so fucked up that I wouldn't be able to handle an emergency if one comes up. I almost never drink anymore, mainly because a two-year old doesn't give a rat's ass if you're hung over.
yeah, but you can have a beer with dinner... and nothing will come of it. when you smoke, it will always be visibleQuote:

You probably shouldn't smoke weed around your kids, tbh. lol But whatever, as long as you're not being supported by my tax dollars I could really give a fuck what you do.
cosigned on the bolded. my parents were never like that. but i distinctly remember the first time I smelled it. I was like 12, it was U2's Zoo TV concert in Dallas. some bean3rs in front lit up and I was like "whoa, what is that smell." it's been a love/hate relationship with mary ever since.Quote:

...or those who fear getting random tested...or might need to change jobs. All bets are off when they legalize it in Texas though.Quote:
