If you already have your answer, why post?

No having 2 year olds in my class coming to school reeking of weed did a number on me. Having infants vcoming to my daycare with baggies in their diaper bags instead of extra wipes, diapers and snacks did a number on me. Having an 8 year old offering another 8 year old some weed did a number on me. But you keep smoking your weed because you're so cool and enlightened, just do the rest of us a favor and make sure you wash your kids before they come to school, make their lunches instead of your baggies and not turn your elementary student into a dealer. K? Thanks. |
Stay on topic and answer the question. Yes or No. Is it a good idea for parents to leave their weed lying around for their children to get into? Simple question. |
OP didn't say it was lying around, she said she found it searching for a power cord, and that another time the father had it out when she got there. It's not exactly packed in the diaper bag. But there's no convincing all you Lovejoys that your false distinction between cannabis and alcohol is just a myth you've bought into. You guys strangle yourself on pearls all you want; quit your nanny jobs; do whatever you need to to flee from a legal, nonaddictive substance. Prayers up. |
Lol who even said I smoke! |
It is a fantastic idea

I can't wait till the 13 year old start school again. |
| I found weed in a family's freezer when I used to babysit for them about 15 years ago. It was much more taboo back then and this was in the south. I told my parents but didn't do anything else. |
The nanny being able to find it in searching for a power cord means it was not in a safe place. Non-addictive does not mean healthy. Legal for adults is not legal for kids. Adults can do what they want in their free time, but kids should not be ingesting drugs or have access to them. I'm certain you kid's pcp would agree. Feel free to ask them the next time you bring them in if you can put your weed down long enough to do that, but that's probably why you have a nanny so your kid doesn't interfere with you being stoned. Don't bother praying for me, but you do need to pray for your brain cells. |
I didn't ask your feelings about weed vs alcohol. Strange how stoners always fall back on that argument. Answer the question I asked you. |

Wow, this thread went off the rails.
Look, pot isn't evil. However, leaving it lying around is really idiotic. If my bosses did that, I would mention it. I am a safety hawk. Boil the entire argument here down to pure safety issues. As far as intoxicants and parents go, alcohol and pain killers are much more addictive and debilitating as far as functionality. Most people have those substances in their homes. The judgement on both sides of this thread is really moralistic. Anyone yelling about a joint better be very certain that they are always going the perfect speed limit, etc- don't break a single law. I live in a legal state. The tide is turning. Those of us who wish for non debilitating relief from chronic pain, insommia, and other issues without turning to pills with nasty side effects are grateful. This idea that all weed smokers are idiotic stoners really isn't true. The daycare example posted earlier is sad- but that is a very small segment of the population. Making pot legal cuts back on criminal activity and provides a medication and yes- an occasional escape- much safer than any other substance, legal or non legal. Animals in the wild have been observed to deliberately ingest plants that cause intoxication. Humans have been using forms of drinks and drugs since we started walking erect and having a sense of spirituality. I firmly believe this activity is only for mature adults that understand the ramifications, and not for growing minds or those with addictive personalities. Prescription drugs have caused much more grief and addiction than any baggie of weed. I once found edibles and a weed infused foot rub at a home I was cleaning. Turns out it was being used for pain relief for the mom's dying father. You never know what folks are dealing with. I would implore these parents, OP, to put it in a safe place. Accidental ingestion by children is an ER visit. |
Brain cells, brain cells, brain cells STFU! |
There will still be some ignorant person to shame your response but you got it! |
