Did you cut back on smoking when you became a parent?

No, I haven't, where can I get that book?

I got it at Urban Outfitters, but you may find it elsewhere if you do a search.

I agree with you- I do not feel there is anything wrong with smoking pot- other than the legal issues, and that is why it was so wonderful to visit Amsterdam and experience that refreshing lack of judgement. Smoking pot is not immoral. It is not even unhealthy (unlike all the christmas cookies I pigged out on!!!) Unfortunately, I live in a country that has ignorant laws and pot is illegal here.
That is why I think this forum is so helpful for me, so I can learn from others how to manage the two. I haven't even adopted my kids yet, but I know there is always the danger that they could be taken away from me because I smoke, and that terrifies me enough to decide to hide my own use. I wish it didn't have to be that way, but until our laws change, I will either have to hide my smoking, or quit.
In the future, when pot is legal everywhere (in my dreams) perhaps I will be able to enjoy the same freedom as drinkers do now! I think the world would be a better place if more people relaxed with a smoke on a daily basis:jointsmile:

i just now noticed this (going back over shit) i'm not going to deny smoking weed is unhealthy.. cuz smoking anything is unhealthy... but when it comes to vaporizing/eating... there's nothing unhealthy about it... the only unhealth-iness to smoking weed is... smoking it..

I'm not a parent, but my dad has been smoking for a long time now and he hides it from everyone, even though we all know he does it. He is still stoned most of the day and hides it pretty well. I walked in on him in a conference call for work smoking a joint. His office smells like weed most of the time though but until I was like 11 I had no idea. I even found a few ounces in his closet once and I was like "dad I found your stash" and I didn't even know what it was. Wow im stoned, sorry if that makes no sense.

"Did you cut back on smoking when you became a parent?"

Well, yes and no. Really I should say I cut back on smoking when I grew up. I started smoking when I was 12 or 13 and by the time I was in high school I was getting high 3-4 times a day. I cut down to 1-2 times a day in college but I was still a pretty regular smoker. Then I stopped. Period. For about 5 years I smoked nothing at all.

It was during this 5 year hiatus that my daughter was born. Then, about a year after she was born, I started smoking again after a buddy recommended I try it for back pain. Now I smoke, actually vaporize mostly, about 4-5 times a week. Between the 10hr a day job and the 1 hr each way commute, not to mention all the shit to do once I get home, I just don't have time for much more.

Now I pretty much only smoke at night, after everything is done, and it's finally time to kick back and relax. The big difference between now and when I was young is that getting high is no longer a priority. It is a luxury to be enjoyed when I can. Having a child has certainly put a bit more on my plate, giving me less free time to get high, but it's worth it. I wouldn't trade being "Daddy" for all the weed in the world.

I ended up smoking more! I have a almost 2 year old daughter she is so cute anyway after Im done toking I love to come play with my kids (I also have a almost 3 month old son too) I enjoy seeing how they react to things and stuff like that.
