[quote=Anonymous][quote] Of course it's acceptable. We've been fed a bunch of lies about cannabis. Unless you are both new to it and smoking too much, the effects are quite mild. I would be much more impaired by a few glasses of wine. I wouldn't work or drive on cannabis, but other than that I am perfectly capable of normal conversation and normal household activities such as cooking, cleaning, and yes, parenting. When my kids are old enough, I will tell them the truth - that cannabis helps a lot of people with various health conditions feel better, but it's not good for kids whose brains are still developing and of course smoking anything is bad for your lungs.[/quote]

NP.  This is not reality, it’s the excuses you use to justify your actions.  First, you set up a false dichotomy because there is not a necessary choice between alcohol and cannabis.   The reason you would not work and it is illegal to drive under the influence of cannabis is because it impairs your reactions and decision-making process.  Those are basic functions that you also need in order to parent (especially in an emergency), cook, etc.  If you are high when you are “on” with your kids, you are a shi!!y parent.   How can you help with homework or discuss substantive issues with a teen when you are high?  Many studies (some cited above) have concluded that cannabis has a negative impact on motivation.  I don’t want that for my adult partner, let alone my kid.[/quote]
