Smoking Around Kids

[Peter Parka]

What are your thoughts on this?

Personally, I wont smoke in ther house around kids but I'm asking this after what happened on Saturday. I was at a BBQ at a friends house and I got some weed off someone. I rolled up in private and went in the garden. There were kids in two corners, I'm not going to smoke right next to them so I smoked it in the middle of the garden. Later on I heard someone slagging me off about it because of kids being around. When I sat with him though he didn't say a word. I didn't want a bad atmosphere so I approached him privately about it. Apparently he wouldn't have been happy, even if it had been just tobbacco. We were fine after that though and I smoked in the yard though I wish people would approach me if they have a problem. What are your thoughts on this?

I think that people shouldn't smoke around kids but I'm not a nazi about it, if that's the way that the parents have it, then let them. It's not for me to say what should and shouldn't happen.

I'm not sure what his problem was? Was it the fact you were smoking, or smoking WEED.
Was anyone else smoking (not weed) at the party?


Were the kids old enough to tell "that" smell, and that was his problem?

Dunno Pete... I personally wouldnt have had a problem, unless I had rellos there that were anti pot, coz theres no disguising that smell.

just tell them its a dead skunk in the bushes

He was smoking weed too, later, but out in the yard.

Nah, he didn't like me smoking anything in the same garden as kids, he had no problem when we smoked it in the yard.

Whats the difference between the garden and the yard???


I is confused.....they're both outdoors.

So, his problem was that you were around the kids, even though you were outside?

Well, he should have approached you when you first lit up and told you to move to the friggin yard

garden is where plants grow, yard is where grass grows..?

The yard was around the side, seperated by a 6 foot fence.

I agree though about approaching me, I didn't agree with him but it was no skin off my teeth moving round the corner for a smoke if that's how he felt, used to it with pubs here anyway, just wish he would have said so, could have been an atmosphere all afternoon for no reason.

Most gardens are out in the yard, are they not?


My garden surrounds my yard, they are really one and the same. So, were you standing in the middle of his prize rose bushes or something?

is marijuana still illegal everywhere?

 

[Peter Parka]

It is here but if you get caught with some, you'd be unlucky to get arrested, probably just given a caution and told not to do it again.

It is here, but in Canberra and South Australia, you're allowed to have (I think) 3 plants for "personal" use.

It varies state to state

NIMBIN!!! That's just up the road from you, right? Brilliant town! :thumbup

California is going to air an ad soon to push a bill to legalize and tax marijuana to get us out of our debt.

I hope someone records it and puts it on youtube.

Yes, it is. Its not legal there, but everyone does anyway

The Mardi Grass festival there is a blast:nod::thumbup

I dunno, I grew up from the age of 12 until I graduated with a smoker in the home and they smoked where they wanted so for me it was the norm. Now you can't smoke in cars with children in them. They tried to get it so any household with children itd be illegal to smoke in the home but it didn't fly.

As long as it's illegal, I don't think it's ok to smoke pot around kids. I guess I'm a prude. If it were legal, I wouldn't have a problem.

As far as cigs outside? They are legal and as long as you aren't blowing smoke in their faces, no problem there either.

Alcohol is more damaging to do around kids but is legal, no one had a problem with me drinking around them.

I agree, and I don't think kids should be exposed to wild drinking parties. Normal consumption, I don't consider a problem.
