Smoking weed as a parent

[Avante]

Pot is so nothing, it's not worth doing anything about. If I'm with somebody or around others where it's not cool, why bother with it? Sure it's stupid but we do a lot of stupid .

I do pity those who sneak around to smoke pot.

[ohmwrecker]

because having a single beer with a meal wont alter your behavior or appearance

Not that I condone it, but neither would having a puff or two tbh. Especially if it's not seen.

[bigzak25]

I condone it.

lol it's not a mirage either. Chemical highs don't go away because they need to. You might not feel as relaxed, but you'd still be just as high.

Ok

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.

Good post man

Ok but you can't just turn off any kinda fun after having a kid. I mean , it's not like I'd say light up if you're taking the kid camping or going on a road trip. There's ALWAYS what ifs

sure. But those what ifs do happen. If someone isn't willing to give up all of that, then they are going to run the risk (however slight) that it might compromise their ability to make decisions. Hopefully those decisions don't involve the safety and health of the child.

No one says "let's go have a smoke" when they are talking about pot. They say "let's get high". No one says "lets go get drunk" when they are going out to drink, they say "let's go have a few drinks".

That's a load of horse . Everyone drinks to get drunk. People would think alcohol tastes like if it didn't have the effect it has.

Also, smoking isn't a big deal at all for a parent.....you barely ever have time to do it, but it'll get you through some truly boring times.

That's a pretty bad at ude. Not being able to deal with boredom so you have to get high?

With weed I found that if I bought a large(r) amount (an 1/8 or 1/4), I would make it last a week or two smoking a joint or two spliffs a day. I like wee because it helps me fall asleep (have sleep deprivation problem) but it gets to a point where things just aren't as stimulating without weed if u do it every day: friendships, conversations, tv, video games etc. and I hated that. So whenever I smoke now (which is rare) I only buy a gram at a time, use it for weekend, and that's it. Otherwise I become a pot head.

Luckily I didn't live close to a dealer so I didn't have any compulsion to buy more when I ran out. When I was out that was it.

I think buying buy the gram and not larger amounts might keep it in check for u like it did for me

Not true. I drink beer now and then and I haven't been drunk in 20 years or more. I also drink crown and coke or a glass of scotch at times. I don't get drunk from it because I don't go into it to get drunk. If you're not getting drunk from a drink, you must be drinking because you enjoy the drink. Coffee tastes like , but people drink it, even decaf.

Well said.

To me: alcohol hangovers are physical while weed is mental. As you described the decrease in stimulation, which to me leads to the increase in quitting. My ability to sit thru a lecture, finish a workout at the gym or even hang out with GF/family starts to feel like an extreme chore.

Yes after smoking: movies, sports, even walking down the street is more stimulating BUT for how long.....15 minutes following a bowl? After that you are feeling more disconnected and less interested than when you are sober.

You don't always have to be doing something every second of every day, you know. Sitting back and relaxing isn't anything to feel guilty about.

So how many people do you know that drink NA beer because they simply enjoy the taste?

[cantthinkofanything]

Not disagreeing with that. But maybe try to find ways to relax without getting high. I'm sure not one to judge. But getting older and having a family means having to change one's thought process.

Beer is eh. But there's nothing like sitting on the porch in the evening enjoying a nice tequila on the rocks.

They don't make any decent NA beer. You do notice beer drinkers are choosy for the most part. If they all have the same alcohol content, why be so choosy? Why not just drink the one with the highest alcohol content. In fact, why drink beer at all? People who smoke pot would not turn down the strongest , they just can't afford it quite often. It was even said here, take only a couple hits of stronger , get high faster. No one says "don't drink that beer, drink this 151.. get drunk faster"

My folks do. Probably why our generation is such .
