I especially have a problem with the woman bringing the baby in the stroller in to the headshop. It just conjures up all kinds of images of the baby crying or getting into trouble while the mother gets high.

The way I see it, education about things like drugs and sex is good. But if you bring a child along with you when you go to a headshop, you are bringing them into that part of your life. A part of your life which is an "adult" part. Its like sex education: when the time comes I will teach my daughter what she needs to know. I'm not going to bring her into the bedroom so she can watch my wife suck my dick, however.
I dont think that any person here was advocating that you and your wife give one another head in the presence of your kids. I think the thread is about morals and head shops. I see nothing immoral about a pipe or cannabis. If your child was to walk in on your act, what do you do>? say? any explaination? and if so what do you tell your child when they ask, "daddy, why did you put your pee wee in mommys mouth? I have kids and the questions they asked are unlimited in nature. I would rather tell my kids that mommy and daddy pleasure each other that way than lie to them.
Lets not take the pro-drug war approach here.
As a single parent there is no such thing as "daddy time" and Me time"
Being a parent is a 24 hr a day job. Hiding pipes and cannabis from kids is IMO absurd. Educating them on what pipes and cannabis are is a great first step. Making them out to be "bad" doesnt help and it isnt honest..
I worry more about whats in my kids food than i do about them knowing whats in my pipe. Food kills, cannabis doesnt.Many many Foods causes a life time of health problems, i dont see that being the case with cannabis.
Being honest with your kids doesnt mean advocating that they use or do it. It means that they will probably be able to handle a situtation better than those kids who only hear what the media and the politicians says.

dai*ma
Count the number of violent acts that are on TV every day, including cartoons. Thats where the focus should be, IMO.
In the Vietnam era we had a saying when it came to sex and war, and it mostly addressed the gay issue.
"How can we give a medal to a guy for killing another (hu)man, while degrading him and kicking him out for loving another?
My answer? we shoudnt. Dont let the rules that society has laid out for us be the word of God.
