Parents - if you partake in smoking weed, your kids will smell like weed.

Sure.

Okay? They don’t. I don’t smoke around them, I don’t smoke and go hang out with them, etc. I know what I’m doing. Don’t be a jerk.

Well that’s quite an assumption.

The kids who smell like weed are not the kids of the parents who are checking DCUM and fretting over first world problems

Except these days the weed is MUCH more potent. My DS developed psychosis and the onset of it was most likely due to smoking weed.

Right?

Also, I have never smelled weed on a parent or child at my school. Im sure parents partake but they go to the dispensary and get gummies.

nobody thinks worse of the children. We feel bad for them. Smelling like anything other than nothing or deodorant is not what kids want. And one kid I know of was drug tested at school because he smelled like pot all the time. He was clean, the smell was coming from his parents.

- Not OP

DP I think it's a bad thing for people to have such a strong odor about them that it affects others. Especially if it's children who have no say in the stench. I'd feel the same way if someone drenched a child in perfume.

I’m in DC and it’s spot on.

Bookbags absorb smells. Cigarettes and marijuana.

No parent should be smoking anything INSIDE around their kids. Period.

I grew up with 2 parents who smoked inside. I was always the smelly kid in class who smelled like stale cigarettes. It got worse as I got older because in middle school and high school, teachers thought I was the one smoking.

Friends didn't want to swap clothes with me because all of my stank. I remember getting a ride home from cheerleading practice from my friend's mom and she had me hang my pom-poms out the window because they smelled so much like cigarette smoke that it was causing her to cough. I was mortified.

LOL at your assumptions and noting that you must be 40+. It's the 30-35 year old wealthy white parents of young ES-aged kids that are smoking the most weed/eating gummies. I've told my kids repeatedly not to share candy with friends at school, I know for a fact some of their friends' parents smoke pot and buy gummies, and am terrified some kid is going to bring the gummies to school to share candy with their friends.

Gummies are far more dangerous.

I think less of the parents. I bet you’d be pissed at a parent smoking a Marlboro around their kid.

Really?

You see "plenty of people" smoking weed while walking or driving their kids? How do you know this? Are you in the car too?

If you can’t see someone in a car near you is smoking you should see an optometrist.

I’m never peering into other cars when I’m driving so I would have no idea. There are ways to smoke weed without the odor, vaping, gummies, whatever. It’s legal so it’s more noticeable but if parents are walking down the sidewalk with a joint smoking away with children there I would talk to the head of the school.
