Mom Arrested For Smoking Pot With Kids

[SLCPUNK]

Parents shouldn't give their kids drugs, end of story.

[polluxlm]

all drugs bad = jail end of story

wow what a socialist pig.

How is that socialism?

Collectivism. What I don't like you shouldn't like either. In fact, you should go to jail for it.

Seconded!


Fuuuuck, yesterday some 15 year old brat ('I'm short for my age', the twerp was probably really about 13) wanted us to shout him a smoke. I told him to piss off...

[Bodhi]

well obviously they would prefer they not do it at all but....

 the mentality is: "well they are going to do it regardless, so i would rather they do it here where i can monitor them then out on the streets where anything can happen."

oh yeah I understand the mentality...but I think it is bullshit...kids are not going to do drugs regardless...I never did drugs, and I have a few friends who never did drugs either...its not inevitable that kids will do drugs...

That is actually just an over simplified way of viewing the world.

I believe that kids should not be given drugs by parents either, but it really depends on circumstances (such as age and all of that.)

But, in this instance, the kids were too young.

This country is moving towards socialism period.

Yup, your boy Bushie did a great job expediting that shift, you're just too stupid to understand it.

Are you calling me stupid you piece of shit hillbilly boy?!!!

Someone like you doesn't get to do that!!

no it isn't.  You can't give me 1 good reason to give a kid drugs.

[western_chaos]

I said it depends on the circumstances whether it was acceptable to give a kid drugs. I did not say that it was a good idea.

BTW, you can argue with me all you want, I don't care...I'll never agree with you. I'm the most hard-headed person around.

 yeah same here...lets just call it a day then....unless you want to argue over who is more hard-headed...

But I guess the state can? Or are you against those kind of drugs too?

Are you talking about lazy teachers, doctors or parents "diagnosing" kids with some type of learning disability even though they don't have one?  In that case I am against those kinds of drugs.  If there is a legitimate problem that only medication can fix then I have no problem with that.  This 39 year old piece of trash is not a doctor, is she?

[Axl4Prez2004]

Damn!  Shadows7XXX and myself (when politics is taken out of the fold  ) agree on virtually everything.  There is no good reason for an adult to give children drugs.  (okay, a diabetic will need insulin, and a kid in need of supplemental oxygen-yes, it's a drug as well-are just 2 of many exceptions).  Also, doing drugs is not inevitable.  I never did either...unless you count alcohol. 

btw, yes! the legitimately hyperactive, ADD kid needs to be medicated if they are to be educated in schools with non hyperactive ADD kids.  Yes, there are legitimate cases, but the diagnosis is over-diagnosed.

[Albert S Miller]

I managed to raise my kids drug free thank god!!  It is not right to smoke with your kids or any other mind altering substance.  What kind of parent are you if you do this?  What the #$%@ are you thinking seriously, they were out driving for shit sakes, I don't get it!!!

My mom smoked pot with me.  Everything turned out okay in the end.  Now I'm a detective.

When I was smoking pot with her, from age 16 to 19, I was a complete waste.  Didn't want to work, etc.  If you could imagine a household where pot was part of the family structure, just as sitting down to watch television together, etc, than you can imagine how much pot gets smoked.

My mother was, still is, and probably always will be, a child in an adult body.  She's a working adult with a good job and is intelligent.  Emotionally/maturity wise though, she's a teenager.

Marijuana can be very destructive if smoked often.  As in, if it is part of your everyday.  Once in a while is okay, in my opinion.

My mom also drank with me but drew the line when it came to any other drugs (cocaine, LSD).

A parent is supposed to be a guiding light in our lives.  They are meant to lead you to healthy paths.  Doing drugs with your kids sends some rather confusing messages to them.  Our bodies do not fare well with drugs being put into them.  So a parent who does drugs with a son or daughter is on some levels helping that child destroy its life.  Or, at least letting the child know that the parent isn't too concerned for his or her well being.

There are many ways parents do this without using drugs with them.  Abuse destroys a child.  Spouse abuse destroys the child. 

As far as my mom, I don't really consider her to be a mother figure.  She's a woman who gave birth to me but never really mothered me.

[/q       couldn't be more of a kid myself at 43, but when it came to the raising of my children, I couldn't have taken it more seriously, you are fortunate to have come out in the end with the right mind set, and are doing well, I commend you.

I'm talking about crying wolf because a couple of kids got exposed to some herbs when half the country is hooked on legal dope/rat poison with a doctors recommendation.

Thanks god she's not a doctor. Who knows what kind of shit they'd be dropping then. At least this way they learn to separate the small drugs from the real killers.

[Axl4Prez2004]

^ Polluxlm, are you serious?  The "rat poison" you are referring to is called coumadin.  It is used to keep blood thin in folks who need to keep their blood from coagulating...it helps prevent strokes and heart attacks.

and btw, it's not "crying wolf" when parents expose kids to drugs.

Although there are similar chemicals used in poisons and "medicine", I mostly meant it as an analogy for what rat poison does. It kills you. Physically and spiritually.

I've seen friends and family get mutilated by these doctor prescribed drugs that are supposed to help them. Walking zombies carrying on with their lives. Nor happy, nor depressed. They just want to sleep, eat and pitty themselves like neutered dogs. Way I see it they managed to do that just fine before they started filling the coffers of Big Pharmacy.

Just recently I had a friend who have developed a drinking and pot smoking habit to cope with existence. What does his psychiatrist tell him? Here, take some more drugs. Do them everyday for at least 12 months and don't you dare stop without a doctors supervision, because it's dangerous. Myself I had a couple of appointments a few years back, went like this:

Are you depressed? I can handle it.

Have you considered killing yourself? No.

Do you want drugs?

10 years some of my friends have been on this shit. Almost half their lives. Does anyone ever stop to say "hey, maybe it's time you tried something else?"? No. Well, I do, but I'm not a doctor so I don't know what I'm talking about. The most truthful answer I ever got out of a doctor (and the most common one) is "I don't know". 5 fucking doctors couldn't agree what was wrong with my broken finger. Another one cut me up before the painkillers kicked in, because "he was in a rush". I considered suing but was told it would only be a waste of time. What the hell, it was only 5 minutes of the most excruciating pain I've ever felt.   

Back to my friends. I can't even have a conversation with these people anymore. They're just lost. Nothing in their lives have changed. Difference is now they're doped up so even though they got all the reason in the world to be depressed and feel like shit, they feel great!

So yeah, it is crying wolf when one irresponsible mother exposes her kids to some relatively speaking mild drugs when there is a fucking trillion dollar industry out there ready to dope up your child just because he refuses to be a robot of the system or is just having a bad period.

No, she's not the best mother. I wasn't the best citizen either when I smashed up 3 Mercedeces in a drunken rage. Doesn't mean it's news (but of course, that ended up in the paper too).



 

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I hate doctors and all medicine in general.

I'll pass, unless my life is in danger.

Orange juice and sex for the motherfucking win!

[Axl4Prez2004]

Polluxlm, thanks for clarifying.  I know so many fucking people taking anti-depressants.  Give me a break.  I'm sorry, if you've got to rely on drugs to get through the day, you're doing something wrong.  "Depressed" people annoy the fuck out of me, and yes, if I can't help them break out of it, I give up and let them depress others around them.  If you hang out with depressed people you know what I'm talking about.  In my eyes, it's really a mis-diagnosis.  Most of these folks are selfish.  They lack the resources to look past their own feelings.  They choose to ignore others' plights, real problems, and focus everything internally.

I'll get off my soapbox now.

btw, The truth, rock on!, make sure you're getting a physical every couple years if you're young, and when you hit the age for cancer screenings, don't ignore them...they really could save your life.
