Parenting and Weed: Is it Okay?

smoking anything regularly is going to negatively affect your lungs, so maybe find some edibles or tinctures you like to give your lungs a break sometimes. it's honestly not the healthiest to be using it to cope in that way but people do worse things. as long as you really can't think of any way it's negatively affecting your ability to be present with your family, you're probably fine. :)

Awe, YOU GUYS!!! This makes me feel so much better! I'm a parent that is open with my child. My dad was a parent who claimed if I was curious just let him know he'll teach me the right way, except when it came down to me wanting just just simply talk cus I had questions it was a problem, so that's why I ran into so many things when I was curious as a tween/teen. My son knows I smoke, and when I can't have a normal conversation with him he will tell me mommy you need to breath (that's what we call smoking, cus it gets my head right). I have so many fans in the house and it's pretty decent size so I put him where I'm not same room and have fans windows doors candela and incense going, I also smoke black and mild wines so I'm smart but I'm not babying him and he knows what to stay away from what not to touch, like we have safe areas and he knows not to go in mommy and daddy's corner unless we are over there and say it's safe. I CANNOT be what my parent were for me for my son. He's just like me curious and ppl pleasing cus his Bio mother lacks everything and his father my fiance isn't really ready for his own mental health walk so his communication and everything is still a teen/early 20s adult boy. So I've helped them both grow in the last 3 years but I think it works for my and my son. We're so connected. A lot of ppl might look down on that but discussing this same info with my son's NeNe (father's mother/my mother in law) she agrees. Says at least he'll learn right with you so he won't be lead down a wrong path when he's not with you and older. He also knows penis vagina boobs and where babies come from. He knows he'll grow hair and so do girls. But that's a different convo, I'm very safe but it's good to know I'm not the only one. I feel like ppl who have been through alike (pun intended 😂) situations as I have been tend to fully understand my side of stuff, however it's more comforting to see I'm not the only one. No one is perfect and children especially know that, I'm just glad God blessed me with ppl who understand that. ♥️ However even tho it makes me think better I also tend to be forgetful all at the same time. But later when I'm smoking again I always remember, l it's like a domino effect when smoking to remember shit you forgot from the last time 😂😂 maybe that's just my HDHD/ADD 😂😂

I am not a parent but I know many who are and do or don't use. I would say if you can still be alert enough to take care of your child this is fine. Like any medication you need to make sure your bases are covered. I actually have to fight myself to use when im in pain bc I was very straight edge growing up with an alcoholic father.

My husband and I are 420 positive. We smoke in the basement and try not to let my step daughter down while we smoke. It definitely helps me be a better parent. I have chronic pain and an eating disorder. Weed is the only thing that helps. Without it, I'd be stuck in bed and unable to do anything.

I think if it helps you be your best self that is good for your child as well. No offense to the other commenter- CHS is horrible but also very rare. Weed gets me through my chronic pain so it’s more reward than risk for me. I think it’s all circumstantial and you should do what works best for you to be the best you could be for your child. My sister and brother in law smoke daily and they are amazing parents. Everyone is different. Good luck!
