We know that pot is a harmless substance, and quite often provides medical benefits. Now we also know growing pot is a family friendly activity.
By Steve Elliott of Toke of the Town A new study from Canada flies in the face of stereotypes regarding the offspring of marijuana-growing parents. Children from homes where cannabis is grown were healthy and drug-free, according to the study — in fact, healthier than other children — leading to questions about why such kids are often removed from their homes.
The research from the Motherisk Program at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children indicates the automatic removal of kids from marijuana-growing parents can be worse for the children than allowing them to stay at home, according to Gideon Koren, a University of Toronto professor and the program’s director, reports CBC News.
“After examining 75 of the kids over several years, we came to very clear conclusions that a vast majority of these kids are doing well,” Koren said. “Well fed, well kept, doing well in school and developing well.”
“In fact, the health problems found in this population were actually fewer than those in the general Canadian population,” according to a news release from the Hospital for Sick Children.

I don't think it has anything to do with growing marijuana at home. Its probably considerably more plausible to think that the children are healthier and happier because they are working outdoors and becasue their parents have an alternative lifestyle.
Many pot growers that I know are hardcore naturalists if they are growing outside. Food would fall in line with that. And just planting tomato plants and other vegetables etc gets the kids outside and moving. I know my son loves growing tomatos.
I want pot legal, I partake, and I don't see the harm with growing your own and your kids being a part of the growth process. But beyond that, I think they are making leaps of logic that are a smidge to far.
Legalizing Marijuana would cost us alot of jobs, enforcement, corrections, rehab
Would you rather spend that extra government spending on jobs enforcing a law that doesn't hurt anyone, or would you rather them be out building roads and bridges with that money?

The "Hospital for Sick Children"?? You have to be kidding me! Who would name a hospital that? That is what happens when you socialize medicine! Where is the hospital for well children?

Yes, you are probably correct. These families would be just fine if all they grew were tomatoes.
A nice vegtable garden may be a better choice for children, it would be better to be able to eat your harvest.
