So let me get this straight, smoking marijuana in front of a 6 year old is child abuse, yet smoking nasty cigarettes in front of them is ok? What about drinking alcohol.

Two North Carolina men were arrested for allegedly smoking marijuana in front of a 6-year-old child on Facebook Live, the local broadcast station WRAL reports. The 20- and 23-year-olds were each charged with misdemeanor child abuse, according to court documents.

Arrest warrants show that Tyreek J. Carpenter and Donta Dewayne Blue were arrested on Sunday and released on bond. Blue is the child’s parent and Carpenter is Blue’s cousin

What a waste of resources. Not to mention the trauma to the child form the police, not the dad.

Before long, this thread will degenerate into a post about how this parent and child should be permanently separated, then the parent executed.

After all we're talking about Marihuana here, the killer drug that causes people to eat faces off and kill babies.

Unless he shared the pot with the child I don't see how this is abuse in any form.

Marijuana has long been used by police as a form of oppression against minorities, and it still is today.

It is taking illegal drugs in the presence of a minor.

What's amazing is roughly two-thirds of Americans believe marijuana should be legal and 90% believe at least medical should be legal, yet the Republican Party continues to act like its still the 1980s. Why should the outdated, inaccurate beliefs of religious fundamentalists about marijuana carry more weight than the actual facts and majority opinion?

Just recently somebody was sentenced to 8 years for bringing medical marijuana across state lines from a legal state to an illegal one.

Don't smoke in front of your kids or anyone, for that matter. Second hand smoke kills. Try Juul instead.

So the day it is legalized, and that day is coming, you will suddenly be OK with it? Is that the day it becomes just like smoking a cigarette or drinking a beer in front of a 6 year old?

What shallow thinking.

Republicans are always backward when it comes to social policy. They have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the future by the rest of us.
