[quote=Anonymous]He IS using it when your kids aren’t around - he goes out to the garage, sparing them the odor and smoke.

What does it matter if he sits there ‘looking stoned’? What does that mean anyway - he sits there all mellow? Are his eyes red? Get him some eye drops.

The bigger thing is, why are you being such a Puritan about this? Marijuana is legal for medicinal use because it’s effective and safe - much safer than benzodiazepines and even SSRIs/SNRIs. John Boehner is heavily invested in the medical marijuana industry now, so are many other conservatives.

Your teenage kids don’t have the attitude toward marijuana that you do, unless they got it from you. The world has changed and this country is finally coming to its senses about how ridiculous and damaging all the Reefer Madness propaganda was and how we’ve wrecked millions of lives over a substance that is far less harmless than alcohol.

I’m sorry I called you a shitty wife, that was a very poor persuasion tactic and it just wasn’t nice either. I’m trying very hard to be nicer to strangers online.

Seriously, please take some time to reconsider your attitudes about cannabis. Start by stopping your habit of calling it pot, and your habit of now thinking of your DH as a pot head. Think instead about how you’d feel if your DH succumbed to his anxiety/depression/chronic insomnia/stress/whatever that he is battling and for which he was approved to get a MMC.

Just FYI, I’m a former prosecutor and I know up close and personal the dirty little secret - that lots of the law & order types who sold us all on the war on drugs and the evils of weed are also folks who enjoyed it themselves whenever they wanted and benefitted from being the type of people whose lives would never be ruined over it. The decades long campaign to indoctrinate the American people on the evils of weed is finally dying; be on the right side of history AND be a supportive wife. This is not a terrible thing. Your kids won’t think less of their dad for him using cannabis unless YOU plant that seed.[/quote]
