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.

Is this your opinion?

Smoking weed is reckless.

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.

Ha can you imagine if it was illegal? How would they enforce that? Tearing apart families just because a parent smokes? I think it's horrible for a parent to smoke around kids but not every horrible thing needs to be criminalized.

DP. Fine by me.

Sure.

Okay? They don’t. I don’t smoke around them, I don’t smoke and go hang out with them, etc. I know what I’m doing. Don’t be a jerk.

DP here. My dad smoked cigarettes when I was a kid. He never once smoked in front of me. He never smoked in the house.

It is simply inaccurate that your kids don't know the smell of weed. You are choosing to think that because you don't actually know. The smell clings to your skin, hair, and don't even get me started on your clothes, bag, and other accessories.

When your kids are older and can link the smell of weed to the actual drug, a light bulb will go off.

No, you’re out of touch on this. PP is correct (although it includes parents up to 50+).

My best friend growing up had parents who smoked regular cigarettes in the house and everything REEKED of smoke. My mom would wash every single thing I brought over there when I slept over because it came home smelling like smoke. My friend was so self conscious that kids at school would smell smoke on her backpack or clothes, she was militant about keeping her bedroom door shut to try to keep the smell out as much as possible. It does travel on you and other people notice.

Don’t expect a story spun out of whole cloth and Haribo bears to make sense.

Um, no. Those parents’ kids do not smell like weed.

My child at one point had a digestive/allergy issue that made their poop, farts, breath and B.O. smell like skunk whenever they ate a particular food. It took us a while to identify the culprit and eliminate it from their diet. Now I wonder if during that time people thought my child was smoking weed or if we were. LOL. Oh well, I guess if anything I have learned not to judge.

My adult daughter does too. I hate it and skunks are gag inducing to me
