I grew up with both parents smoking pot, dad grew and used it for medical use and mom smoked every once in awhile with friends i think if you just keep it private until they are mature enough to understand its use they should be fine

Yes, but that brings up another interesting question: what then? Do you tell your kids the truth about your usage? Hide it from them? Stop? Use marijuana as an incentive for good grades?

i have never lied to my kids about drugs or the fact that i use them ...my oldest son is 14 and i have smoked in front of him since he was born ..he knows that i use for medical reasons... and that it is not to be discussed outside the home... because it is no one elses buisness how our family deals with medical issue's.... he knows that i also use for recreational purposes. and that is also no body's buisness....he has been told he can smoke at home with me or his mom when he turns 16 .IF he maintains a 3.5 GPA otherwise he has to wait till he is 18...since he has been raised around pot smokers all his life it is no big deal to him...as it should not be..it's just a plant... so i really doubt he will start till he is older if ever...he also understands that any use of drugs other than cannibis will result in a severe beating and will never be tolerated in our family using cannibis while raising a family is no differant than using alcohol /caffeine/chocolate /tobaco or any other mild mood altering substance..until people realize that cannibis is just as harmless as caffiene or chocolate and safer than alcohol and nicotine we will always have people who will be brain washed into believing that a parent who uses mild intoxicants are not as good as parents who have become monks just because they now have a couple of rugrats running around the house

You're awesome.

I dont believe that at all. In fact, parents that smoke weed are probably a lot more open minded and better communicators than parents (like mine) who are totally anti drugs therefore encouraging their children to keep secrets from them
Personally, I cant really be bothered with people when Im stoned so I can imagine being pissed off with crying babies around, just think I'd cope better sober

I like your views though, its good to be open with your children

[KEGS]

I think with little ones around you have to watch them 24/7
I don't Know how old your kid's are just smoke when you put them to bed
Or a little when they nap.I just would not smoke in front of the kid's
Maryjane you sound like a good parent

That sounds good. How about your spouse's family? Do they know? Their reaction?

I wonder about a spouse's family's reaction. I believe that reputation is important, and I don't think I've been with anyone whose family wasn't at least moderately critical. I'd be worried that keeping the knowledge of the fact that I was keeping a smoking habit on the low would be hard to confine to my household. And, I believe that keeping said knowledge private is important, because later on, other parents could find out, and you could find yourself in a potentially very awkward position, or you'd find that you, or your kids, had been harshly judged by people whose noses should've been kept in their own affairs.
