She’s unbelievably selfish. The kids will suffer.

Actual medpot I have no issues with. But she is going AWOL as a mom.

I agree but it is too effing late. Half the parents and half the teachers are stoned.

Nothing now is scared, but infamy.

Marijuana shouldn't be illegal. What vegetables you may grow, eat, or smoke is none of the government's business, and there is no Federal warrant for such "authority" whatsoever.

Just just because a thing shouldn't be illegal, that doesn't mean you should do it. Growing up in the late sixties and early seventies many (most, in fact) of my friends did drugs. They made one of three choices: they stopped, they amounted to nothing, or they died.

Why get started doing something whose best outcome is that you stop?

It used to be alcohol. Or Rx tranqs.
New day new drug.

Short sightedness, ignorance.

It is a tragic time due to a concerted selfish rejection of the Lord. I didn’t say religion. Donald Trump doesn’t have a lot of religion and yet he is doing great. I said the Lord.

"Mom, where did that big bag of Doritos go?!"

This is interesting. If a mom sent the kids to school and then started happy hour, people would say she has a problem.

There’s a fourth.

I know at least a dozen in the tech business that are highly successful. I cannot sense that they are high at work, but they are not bashful about getting high in the evening and on weekends.

It’s well known in this business.

The closest I ever heard of something like this was one of my gramdmosther’s bridge club meetings that got out of hand. The hostess started serving Manhattans, and most of the ladies had to get rides home. They were still talking about 25 years later.

“It used to be alcohol. Or Rx tranqs.”

Folks who smoke dope are more functional than the other two, generally.

Exactly. Getting high doesn’t make one a “better mom”. Sacrificing selfish desires makes one a better mom:

Changing wet sheets and bathing a three year old at 2 in the morning with a loving spirit rather than irritation at the bed wetting accident.

Cleaning vomit off a child, yourself and the couch while comforting the sick and crying child.

Waking early to make a child’s favorite breakfast on his/her birthday.

Our son just told us that a recent survey found that 51% of adults in the US use pot regularly. Very sad.
