Yes it is illegal, bu...Welllllll.... couple things. Yes it is illegal, but unless you are selling it it isn't usually much more than a warning or a $50 ticket in Missouri. So you aren't going to go to jail for it per se. Most parents who still choose to smoke pot aren't necessarily selfish, they are just willing to take the risk of paying a fine to be able to smoke it. Some parents who smoke it do so for medical reasons. For example. Take the mom who has fibromyalgia. She can't sleep well through the night because of pain, she can't be active with her kids through the day because of pain, she is dull mom. Because of pain. Say this mom doesn't have insurance, or doesn't want to put prescription meds for fibro in her body because of all the nasty side effects. So this mom chooses to smoke a small amount of marijuana when the kids aren't around. She never keeps more than what is going to cause her a fine, if she gets caught. That mom isn't being selfish, shes choosing to do what she can to manage her pain so she can be the kind of mom that has fun with her kids. You have to get caught with quite a bit of pot for it to be enough to get arrested for it. I think, if you smoke responsibly, not around your kids, in small amounts and you don't drive on it then it isn't a big deal. Now don't be bringing back a pound of the crap on your family trip to Colorado (where its legal) obviously.a little crazy, but not full crazy. Never go full crazy.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06350722690149046609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915703366269834950.post-43158145493186876782012-01-29T10:06:36.330-06:002012-01-29T10:06:36.330-06:00Love this post!
