Reply #96: I don't smoke around them, but when they get older, yes (pls read)

I am working on saving the money to get my doctor's note for medical marijuana, since it helps me for my stomach illness and my extreme anxiety (works much better than Xanax/Klonopin and doesn't get me insanely addicted and seriosuly loopy. One hit of decent mj makes me functional, not high. The benzos make me unable to do much. Anti-depressants make me seriously worse actually.)

What I worry about is all of the DARE bullshit. If medical marijuana is legal, why can't that be put into the education about "drugs"?

The only thing I will tell them is about the illegality of using it recreationally. I'll tell them though if they do want to try, to be careful and that I'd prefer them to be home and not out driving. Also, to wait until they are 18 (yeah, right). And if I am still needing it medically, I will teach them about that as well.

I don't like the BS about how kids can tattle about you and get you in trouble. If you are using it medically, no trouble should occur and if it does, I will sue.

But I don't see a reason to smoke it around kids anyway. I'd prefer not to smoke it at all and just injest it in a brownie or something.
