I would love to relax and get high w/ DH some day. But I would never have it around my kids, period. Weed isn't regulated like alcohol. That shit could be laced w/ who knows what. I'd be afraid of losing control and doing something totally unsafe and out of character or something. I just can't see taking something that unpredictable that you can't control.

Not likely. Some people do lace it with PCP, but that shit is expensive and you would never accidentally buy it. Besides, weed is a plant and you can easily check out the basic quality just by looking at it.

Have you been watching Reefer Madness, or did you just go through a really good DARE program in school? I'm sorry, but this made me laugh.
My parents smoked pot throughout my childhood. They were high-functioning, high-earning, stable members of society and also very good parents. I occasionally smoke, as do many people I know, including people from all walks of life. Maybe it's because of where I live, but this just isn't that big of a deal, IMO. I would rather smoke pot, and I would rather be around a pot-smoker, than drink or deal with drunks or heavy drinkers absolutely any day.
Don't get me wrong. I've had great experiences w/ weed, personally. haha
But I will never forget my freshman year roommate in college coming back after being picked up by campus police...She was hallucinating all over the place.
Glad to hear its so unlikely though. Maybe i will smoke up around my kids one day after all :-P

Oh, and weed actually IS regulated (and taxed) in some states. CO has some strict standards.
Once the state legalized it, I was actually mentally rating the business names that instantly popped up touting medical Mary Jane. I think at one point there were more marijuana dispensaries than 7-11s?
Is it just me, or does announcing to the internet that you're using an illegal substance while your child is present sound like a bad idea - like, a good way to get DCFS called and your kid taken away?

Good question. Where are Helvetica and Snickers when you need them? Did they ever get Sunny Rae back?

There were literally 7 within about a 2 block radius near my house. I was amused by the names.
I'm not pearl clutching, and I was amused by the article. Waldo probably is a lot more engaging if you're high. The only thing I don't like is being obviously impaired around kids. A little high is fine (if dad's on duty), but don't be so wasted that you spend an hour staring at the ceiling fan or freaking out at every knock on the door.

Ah it's not really an hour, it just feels like it. It's more like 90 seconds.

Starbucks, but yeah. After the regs took effect, lots of little dispensaries went out of business.
I agree with the drinking analogy. An occasional smoke is nbd, just like a glass of wine, but being impaired is entirely different, esp if you're responsible for a child (which she was not).
I wouldn't want to be that impaired - drunk or high - around my kid, to the point where they could tell. There's something icky to me about a kid getting older and thinking back to that time mom was so fun watching Dora and realizing its 'cause she was wasted.
I also find it a little bizarre to "ask" for time off to get silly. Going out is one thing, but I just wouldn't be interested in asking MrP to watch the kid while I get drunk by myself and hang around the house. Of course, my hatred of being drunk is due in large part to hangovers, so maybe I would feel differently with pot.
I've never been high and don't see the appeal, and I don't like alcohol enough to just want to get buzzed when my kid is at home. Of course, I've had alcohol to get drunk plenty of times, but I would just never be at home with my kid and say, "You know, I want to be buzzed right now" And if I did it would certainly not be something I would be proud enough of to want to write an article about how cool I am to do it.
But I'm a nerdy Debbie Downer about that stuff, so there's that.
