life pushes you into certain situation where, sadly, driving while high is the best of the coices you have, maybe the only one.
you're not always left with a choice is my point, even if you think that might be the case.

I drive better high, slower, less road rage, less stress.
not me. I guess it depends on the person then.
The only bad thing about weed... is that it's illegal.....
I don't think parents should smoke (anything) or drink (more than one or two) in front of their kids because kids do what they see - they are little behaviour-learning sponges. This is not opinion, it's child psychology.
Get them to an age, say 10-12, where you can start to educate them and discuss these things, but doing these things around them at a young age is just programming them to do the same things, and in the case of mind-altering addictive* substances, that seems unwise to me.
* yes, I am aware that THC is not physically addictive, but it certainly has the power to be psychologically addictive. Alcohol can also very quickly become addictive. And nicotine is close to the most addictive substance we know of.
And as for the illegality of ganja, thankfully where I come from it is not illegal (it is decriminalised - possession of under 1 ounce might get you a speeding-fine equivalent, as will smoking in public). I find the legal double standard regarding alcohol and marijuana to be completely absurd. Legalise it, tax at, and put all the money back into health.

I only smoke with my two year old when my stash is burnt and i have to bum off his...
i don't encourage him. that would mean less for me.

ANSWERS
see, the thing is...he had money to throw away on weed and pizza...and your tip...not to mention the cost of diapers these days...be thankful!![]()
Is that meant to be funny? It may be my lack of a sense of humour, but I don't think it is, not when there are videos on you chew of parents who have fad ecstasy to their children or gotten stoned.
Marijuana and kids don't mix - all the science suggests that THC (and amphetamines) does serious damage to developing brains. I'm glad I didn't sample the wares until I was 22 (the adult male brain doesn't stop developing until very late teens/early 20s).
you see, you are only viewing things from a point of view where which smoking weed impairs someone mentally...and that just isn't always the case...
sometimes medicine like sweet sweet herb is for what ails ya. (or is it sweat sweat?)
no i'm dead serious. the lil one is hittin the bong right now as we read your post and laugh delirously...it really adds entertainment value to the likes of spongebob squarepants, blues clues, and bunnytown, not to mention that that hottie icarly seems 18 going on 21 when your stoned...
and don't go preachin against givin toddlers da smoke unless your gonna preach against all the ADD meds they give out to the kindergardeners too!
but if you are a champion in the "our kids are overmedicated by irresponsible parents and self-interest legal drug pusher doctors..." then as you were, hail aussies!![]()
When you're asleep you're mentally impaired and bad things that you can't predict can happen to you too, skippy. I don't think he was talking about smoking weed while driving or operating heavy machinery.
But then again, you may be right. Those horrible marijuana impaired couch-to-refrigerator preventable accidents are a ing epidemic.
Okay, I can see that you're kidding.
As for the overprescription of dexies, I'm with you. They can be very useful for real sufferers of ADD (I know one, now an adult, and he says they help him a lot), but there is no doubt that parents and doctors and pill companies have conspired, put bad behaviour in the too hard basket, and now massively over-prescribe meds to kids who in most cases just need some bloody DISCIPLINE.
That just means that you are a complete dumb ass ing re ed driver when you're sober. Anyone who believes they actually drive better under the influence of a mind and perception altering substance must be such a ing bad driver that they should never be allowed to touch a steering wheel again.
It's not difficult to drive well sober, you just have to be a responsible person who isn't a ing basket case. Unfortunately there aren't many of those around.
bloody discipline!!!
Is that meant to be funny? It may be my lack of a sense of humor, but I don't think it is, not when there are videos on you chew of parents who beat the out their children!
How in the can people be scared to death of such stupid ass as public speaking or going up to meet a stranger of the opposite sex but be completely oblivious to driving a ing 2,500+ lbs machine with the power to kill you instantly like a completely impatient ing asshole?
well you see, you threw that caveat in there for a reason brah...cuz you know something we do...![]()
Actually, I was wrong. You don't have to be responsible or not be a basket case. You just have to be smart enough to not want to die instantly. And yet, that's a difficult quality to find behind the wheel.
This post is a buzz kill.
I guess large shards of glass, metal, and plastic instantly piercing your skull, breaking your bones, tearing your flesh, and spilling your guts out in an act of instant death just isn't a good deterrent.
you see, i was thinking about this earlier, and my football team was losing...as always...and it was a slow, grinding loss...like someone just turning that knife in you, but it's not into any vital organs...and i thought...i'd rather just ing die and be done with it...and instant death>long agonizing one...as long as all your affairs are in order and ...![]()
Yeah, that would work except it doesn't...
Hit a child and you teach them that violence is an appropriate way to get what you want. That is not teaching them discipline.
OTOH, teaching a child discipline involves explaining to them what they did wrong and punishing them appropriately through denial of privileges and such.
If I had to watch the Redskins tonight I'd have preferred instant skull piercing death as well, but that is one of those rare, rare occasions. The Redskins are just that bad.
Best way to punish your kid is to take away his ciggies.
