Would you take your toddler to a dispensary?

[Shreddingbetty]

So if he is so in need of THC that he can't wait to get it later does that also mean that he will be smoking it around your 18 month old? If not, what does he do with the kiddo while he smokes it? Honest question.

[karmasabiotch]

I wouldn't. I support the for true medical reasons mile cancer or MS but so many people get it for a little back pain or whatever. The cards are easy as hell to get. I get a coupon in the mail at least once a month to come and get a card and bring friends for a bulk rate discount with the Doctor.

I also see so many kids that are in 5th and 6th grade now who have been caught getting high because they think it's ok because their parents are doing it. It's setting a bad example.

I'm not necessarily a rule follower because I like getting high but even if your state allows it it's still illegal on a federal level from my understanding. I haven't gotten high in forever because I'm always worried my dream job will come along and I will need to pass a drug screen. I don't know what my dream job would be other than getting paid to watch tv.

BRILLIANT.

I have a van with no windows. Would that work?

I was going to offer up my creeper van.  We could have a chain!

Weed delivery. It should be a thing.

The best pizza in my hometown was from a party store, and we'd always get so stoked when my parents would give in and let us have pizza for dinner. Then we grew up a little and realized their "giving in" was because they had run out of gin or vodka, and the party store would also deliver booze with their pizza.

I've never gotten a contact high. And not for lack of trying.

That's because contact highs are a myth. Unless you're hot boxing Cheech and Chong style, that is. There's virtually no THC in exhaled smoke.

Why can't he go after you get home from work?

I wonder if the use of the term "red card" in this context has put Target's marketing department in a tizzy.

Definitely not.  Target absolutely pumps some sort of drug into the air in their stores.  This is why I own 4 decorative wreaths manufactured by Target.

Hell, it was probably their idea.

[definitelyO]

I don't think you can even go into a shop if you're under 18 (that includes infants, etc...)

Well, if he is that desperate then why not just pay the taxes?

I mean, if he is willing to take the kid, is it really that big of a deal to pay a bit more? 

And TBH, now I am really side-eyeing wanting to take a kid with him over just paying the tax to have you grab it.

I'm 100% for it being fully legal and have no issues with people partaking, but this is getting stupid. 

It's a significant price difference. $50 versus $15.

And just so everyone is put at ease, he is NOT taking the kid.

Uh, no. Lol.

We're in CA, H has a medical card and we get weed delivered to our house by the dispensery.  Perfectly legal.  they don't accept Visa/MasterCard though, not because they wouldn't do it, but Visa/MasterCard won't accept this type of merchant - lol.

Our guy says there are quite a few people in our neighborhood he delivers to (doesn't name names though).

It comes in many "non-smokeable" forms: chocolates, sodas, ointments, dermal patches, vapor, etc.  So he's not necessarily smoking around his toddler.

I have a card in Ca. but I choose not to bring my kids inside, they stay at home or in the car with their dad.  I have been in there when there was a father holding his baby once, that's the only time I have ever seen a child inside a dispensary.  You can't smoke inside but it does smell very strong.

I guess if you're out of your meds and you have no one to watch your child, then I can see why someone would bring a child inside.  It's just not something I would personally do.

[sandyapples]

Even if it was legal I probably wouldn't. I just seems weird to me. No real logic behind it. I am an occasional smoker and have no problem with weed in general.

[jojoandleo]

I live in the bible belt, where children are not allowed in liquor stores, liquor is not sold in grocery stores (only 3.2% beer), and weed is illegal. So, it would never even occur to me to try and take a kid into a liquor store, let alone a dispensary.

If it was all legal and you could take your kid in, I wouldn't have an issue with it. My mom explained responsible drinking to me when we were kids and she would drink. I think you can do the same thing with weed. It would also take away the taboo quality that would make your kid sneak and smoke weed/drink.

Okay guys, clearly my teens and early twenties were boring and did not involve the Marijuana.

Next you'll be telling me that one can put this pot weed into some sort of delicious treat, like a brownie, and then eat it.  What will they think of next??

Actually, in CA it is. Weedmaps app has listings of dispensaries as well as delivery services in your area.

You're like my great-aunt who calls it "smoking a pot."

I just wrote an article for work on the first year of Colorado's legalization, and was floored to find that 40-45% of the market is in edibles. And so were the government officials I talked to - everybody was pretty blindsided by the demand for edibles.

and, so we are clear, I DID take my babies to a dispensary in Colorado. They were 19 and 21 at the time; wouldn't let the 19 yo in. I bought them some stuff, too.

I never took them into a liquor store because I was sure they'd break shit everywhere.

My biggest fear when taking E into "the beer store" is that she'll wind up knocking bottles of top shelf booze to the floor.

[stellas]

I'd say this is a situation where you park right in front of the door and run in, leaving Jr. Air conditioned, of course.

Ends meat.
