Is pot really that bad?
| Mon, 05-03-2004 - 12:33am |
Hi all,
I just need to hear some input.... My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years and are planning on getting married. Our relationship is perfict in every sence except that he has started smoking pot again after 3 years of being completly sober, no drinking, no drugs. I don't mind other people smoking pot, but when I think about having kids with this otherwise perfict man I cant get the thought out of my head... what if he doesnt quit? I have told him of my concerns and he says that if we have kids he'll quit, but I'm not sure that I beleive him. I can't even imagine why he started again. Is this something that I really need to be concerned about? Is smoking pot really that horrible an offence? I can't imagine ending my relationship over something that seems small logiclly, but feels like a really big issue. Not just for the fact that I dont want my kids raised in a house where there are drugs being used, but also for the simple fact that it is illegal. I dont think that I would feel very good about going to pick him up at jail because he got pulled over with pot on him. Please give me some of your ideas and thoughts on this.

I don't think that smoking pot makes you an evil person, there are probably people in your life right now who smoke it occasionally without you ever noticing it.
However, smoking it occasionally and doing it every day are two completely different things. Being able to do the stuf you're responsible for should be a #1 priority over getting loaded when you're about to get married!
I wouldn't mind if my husband sparked up a joint at some point while out with his buddies, but I wouldn't want him coming home to the kids after work stoned out of his mind. Do you know what I mean?
