My friend truly believes that smoking with her husband has made all the difference in the world in regard to their marriage. The two of them share a bowl or a joint after the kids are in bed and asleep a couple nights a week as a way to wind down and enjoy one another. My friend thinks she might be divorced by now if they did not have this outlet. I tend to agree with her...

Here was our list of benefits:
-Out of this world sex that is fun and feels fantastic! If you have not had sex high, then please add it to your bucket list (not going to lie, this was the number one thing for the both of us)
-Lots of great laughs and deep conversations that really allow you to get to know the other person on a deeper level
-A way to wind down together that does not lead to a terrible hangover, which when you get to your late 30's seems to be what happens when either of us drinks more than 2 glasses of wine
-We both wake up refreshed and ready for work/life/kids, etc without having to nurse a water and take half a bottle of Asprin.
-Exploration of new music together, or bonding over your favorite songs or bands...or even watching a binge-worthy Netflix show that makes you crack up
-It is more affordable than a night out/date night and just as much fun, if not more if you are with the right person

Anyway, we were curious about others in DC, who also see the benefits of smoking weed with a partner and if you have your own list of benefits?

What would you do if your child woke up with a medical emergency?

What would you do if your child woke up with a medical emergency and you and your DH had consumed a glass of wine?

A glass of wine is not equivalent.

Call 911. No different than all the women on DCUM who drink their wine.

One glass of wine does not impair you like weed does. I would worry about diminished cognitive decisions making skills.

One can consume the amount of pot that works for them. -NP

This may sound dumb, but how do you figure out the amount? I remember when I tried it as a teen, it just always felt like too much.

Alcohol diminishes your decision making skills far more than weed does.

My husband and I have gotten up at night at least once for the past decade to take care of a medical need of our child. No alcohol or pot for us, it could lead to a fatal mistake.

“it’s awesome, my spouse and I are so close now because we share needles and nod-off together. You get to know someone so well after cleaning up their sticky track marks before taking your kids to their grandparents house! Y’all should try it!!”

Oh my god, I don’t even use weed (or anything else) and this statement strikes me as ridiculous. You need to move past what you learned from the Just Say No curriculum in school.

Everything you posted it what I do with my spouse without smoking weed.

I have nothing against it (for myself -- NOT my children) but definitely think if you need weed (or alcohol) for any of your bullet points there may be a bigger problems in your marriage.

I wish people would just say, "I like weed." None of this rationalization resonates with me in the least bit.

I really don't care what other adults do, but I am concerned about the societal acceptance of it as it affects my teenagers. The kids who use pot in my kids' circles today are no different from the "potheads" I knew when I was in college 30 years ago. They're not exactly the overachievers.

You're so right! Overachievers sniff coke.

Im not against weed but it does seem odd that it sounds like a lot of you can't function in your marriages unless you are high.

Do you know this from personal experience or are you just guessing? The bolded is definitely not true for me.

The class differences are pretty evident here.

You don't judge me for drinking wine. I won't judge you for smoking pot.

I drink wine, paired with food. I don't drink wine to be "on anything." I can appreciate and enjoy one or two glasses of wine with an appetizer or meal or dessert, and I can appreciate one or two cocktails once in awhile. My favorite is amoretto.

However, I'm not "drinking like a fish" or drinking to be "on alcohol."

It's not really the same as smoking pot.

I'm not judging you.

It's just I read a lot of judgment in your posts in this thread about adults over the age of 21 enjoying and appreciating wine and cocktails.
