Hang, I thought you were a middle aged man. Most people don't have sex in front of their children because their children aren't mature enough to understand and deal with it.
I won't preach to you that they are different (I wasn't preaching). I'll just tell you that they are different. You're right, adults can make their own choices, as it should be.
And my remark about puttin away the reefer when you're raising a family.
1. What if yer smoking in your bedroom one night, you're feeling real good. Phone rings, your daughter is in a wreck, you rush to the hospital, (still stoned) just in time to see her go into surgery where she dies. The last time she saw you, you were stoned. That story actually happened to a buddy of mine.
2. I've got 3 kids, there's no way a man could smoke an be a responsible parent. I know first hand. Now, if you're a parent who likes to delegate all the child-raising out to relatives and ex-wives and such (as most adult weed smokers do) then I guess it works, but in that case you're not really a parent.
3. Okay, think about the "getting busted" part. Would be really cool if the cops come busting in on you and the kids watching barney looking for weed. And don't tell me you could never get busted. Everybody can be busted.
Smoking dope is mostly just an adolescent habit that is hard for some to kick. And then some look for reasons not to kick it. And yet others actually tell their kids it's ok for them to smoke when they're old enough!
Smoking dope and Being a responsible parent don't go together, no matter how hard you try to twist it around and make it right, it aint.
Now.
Yeah, you have the choice to do it any way you want too, as long as you stay cool and don't get busted.
