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

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.

The discussion is kids who smell like weed. White wealthy parents who do smoke are not blatantly smoking it in the house around their kids. Plus they tend to do more gummies rather than smoke it.

They are smoking out on their front porch or back deck - yes, while their kids are around. I live in a neighborhood with houses selling for over a million dollars. The new couples moving in are definitely smoking weed - my kids are constantly asking if there's a skunk somewhere.

How many white wealthy parents of ES kids in an urban area do you know who are only 30 years old? I know zero.

My kid is at a private K-8 divided between very young parents who could pull it off because they come from money or made a quick fortune, or older parents. The older parents drink too much and the younger parents are very liberal with pot and edibles. We moved from Texas so the “what to do if you see a gun at a play date” speech I gave my kids is now supplemented with “don’t eat candy or treats at your friends’ houses.”

I’ve been at multiple grade level social events that involved casual talk about pets getting marijuana poisoning from edibles like “tee hee, can you believe it?”. If a dog can find it, a kid can, too.

Oh my goodness, that's horrendous!!! Those people should not be allowed to have pets (or children)

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.

At least it resulted in you never smoking!

You may not know quite as much as you think you do.

I do not smoke weed, nor do I consume edibles. I do, however, have a medical marijuana card for a cream/ointment that contains both THC and CBD. It cannot get you high. What it does is relieve pain. It’s topically applied and significantly reduces swelling and pain on my knees, back and shoulders. It is the one thing that works. I am grateful for this product.

If my kids give me a hug after I’ve applied it in the morning and you choose to judge me and them for that, that is on you, not me. Not them.

Be mindful of this. Even if you don't smell it, others do.

Weed is for losers. Pathetic losers.

NP I would completely judge their families as trashy.

Is this only in super rich neighborhoods? I have not noticed this in my middle class townhouse neighborhood.

If you see someone smoking weed while driving, for gods sakes please note the make of car and license plate and call the police.

How do police determine if someone is too high to be driving? Is there a breathalizer for weed?

I call bullsh*t. Dumbest weed thread ever.

Unless those parents are hotboxing sans vape, at drop off, this is bullshit.

UMC and above neighborhoods reek of weed. I'm in a lower middle class neighborhood and the air is clean.

I grew up in the 80s - I distinctly remember kids in ES who smelled like cigarette smoke. Smoking in the house was very common back then (I remember everyone had ashtrays out in their living rooms, even my parents who never smoked did because they had friends who smoked. I have not encountered children who smell like weed, but given my experience as a child, I would not be surprised if there are kids like this -- that smell is even stronger than cigarettes.
