Kaycee Bawdon is out to show that smoking marijuana while taking care of children is perfectly acceptable.

When the mother of four from central California gets together for a playdate with other moms, they often enjoy some herbal refreshment while kids frolic in the yard nearby.

Whether it's smoking from a bong or lighting a joint, these moms make marijuana a regular part of their lives.

I remember a certain cop in Minnesota saying he feared for his life because someone apparently smoked weed in front of their daughter...but..

Well they must have been some real parents if they have to get high to be a better parent, UNTIL they forget that the kid is outside and drowns in a pool or something.

seems a bit lame to me. When kids are small you want to be able to engage fully with them.

i have no issues with recreational use in moderation but not when you are taking care of kids. unless of course we are talking LOW THC and high in the other cannabinoids....

as to the "smoking " part vaping leaf/flower is the sensible option. it costs more but avoids the damage.

"I can smoke it and go clean my whole house and do all my laundry and just get everything done,'' Elizabeth Orduno told Shriver.
"I feel like I am actually more focused and attentive while I am medicated, it kind of gives me that spruce of energy that I don't have,'' another mom, Saydee Perkins, added.


Is she sure it isn't laced with meth?

Lots of people around here smoke and then do chores like mowing the lawn. It's much easier to remain focused while high than while drunk. Face it alkies, marijuana is just the superior way to alter one's mind from a safety and body perspective.

Most people don't get drunk and then try doing laundry, though. Maybe mowing the lawn. In any case even sober parents can forget where their kids are and let them drown.

I always hear conservatives bring up the argument that it's not the gun, it's the people who use the gun.. the gun is just an object, or tool. Well same thing with marijuana... we could ban both guns and marijuana because some people are not responsible enough to use them properly, or we could legalize both.

If you had to pick one of the two options which would you pick?

(It's fun getting so called freedom loving people to open up their minds, get past what they were taught, and actually THINK)

I would think the smoke followed by a period of sustained work, would be common to many pot smokers.

I can't speak for others, but it's never been a drug to get me sitting down and eating chips, or whatever.

I know a few people like that. Not the meth part. Helps them get through the daily chores in life that they don't like to do but need to be done. Better than blowing it off imo.
On top of that some people are also wound differently.

It is nothing like sampling a bottle of wine while the kids play...... I guess that is a different class of people.

If your white, smoking weed is stupid. Since we are talking invalid racial generalizations.
