Also, your response to the question did not address the question. According to the earlier poster’s classification scheme, would you consider exposing a child (who by definition is still developing) to secondhand marijuana smoke as high/low incidence and high/low consequence? Keep in mind, not everyone has a backyard, or will limit their smoking to one, even if they do.

Nobody cares. It is extremely common for drunks to beat their kids. It is extremely uncommon for people high on cannabis to beat anyone. REMINDER: There is an exception to every rule.

They may not be beating their child, but are they providing adequate care and supervision? Moreover, you still haven’t addressed the brain damage and other health consequences they’re inflicting on their child by exposing them to secondhand smoke while they’re still developing.

DP. Are drunks providing adequate care and supervision? I'm with the PP. I've met people who were angry, violent drunks. I've never met an angry, violent pothead.

The whole county’s going go smell like skunk.

I’m more concerned with the smell of blood after school shootings, but hey, we all have our concerns.

Your concern is low incidence, high consequence.

The smell of cannabis is high incidence, low consequence.

Treat accordingly.

And how would you categorize the effects on children’s development when their parents are smoking around them?

Same as alcohol. Don’t get totally wasted in front of the kids but a couple of beers or a joint if you prefer in your backyard is just fine.

Pot smokers are so incredibly selfish, and their bud stinks and they stink. Literally. Their breath, clothes, cars smell like *ss. I feel sorry for MD.

+1 but prepare for the pot-lovers of DCUM to leap down your throat.

Until you live somewhere with shared walls and your weed smoke permeates my apartment or townhouse. Vomitous.
