parents smoking marijuana around their children, how bad is this

as I am not a scientist I will neither confirm nor deny the effects of this but when you use stats about people having lung cancer and dying from it due to cig, smoking and second hand cig smoke but then say show you the stats of a person who died from smoking weed, really think about that one. Cigs are legal, pot is illegal. If I was having problems breathing, or got cancer do you really think I would tell the doctor? If they listed that I had upper resp. problems or cancer from smoking an illegal drug my insurance can refuse to cover me for treatment, just like a person who drinks is not a canidate for a liver transplant because they will just keep drinking and ruin the new one so alot of people claim past drinking but that they have not drank for years, Once it is legal and then cases come up and people are not affraid to say yes I smoked it but do not smoke cigs and neither did my parents then those stats may change. Just a logical thought, not meant to attack you as there are many post saying basically the same as you just where I decided to stop reading all the post.

Cannabanoids dumbass double che j you research

Could you clarify a percentage as to how many clientele were smokers of cigarettes or alcoholics?

Did you know this guy used copy and paste on the first article that came up on google? Did you also know that he took no time what so ever to do further searches on google to suggest that this information was true or even realistic. The only thing agreeable is that it is irresponsible to smoke near your child.

This is utter bollox mate. Cannaboids in cannabis stop cancer cells growing. Otherwise people would not swap nasty chemical chemo for cannabis oil treatment. Don't comment sh*t if you don't know the answer it just scares people for no good reason.

can cannabis affect a child's behaviour if smoked around them?

That was a bloody good read on cannabis dude. Well funny but so true :-D

This person seems to have laid the facts on this topic compared to the other responses I've read earlier. Some even contradict themselves when explaining what they felt making me think they were "High" when they wrote this. I do not condone people blowing it in animals faces and especially not in a child's direction. I feel that as the child gets older, you need to be more discrete with how you choose to get high, meaning don't do it in front of them or say, "Sure start when you're old enough like 12 y/o" when they ask if they can try it. I cannot clearly say what affects are felt from the smoke or vapor from using MJ around children. I do not believe that it is worse than nasty, proven to be cancer CAUSING cigarettes but feel that exposing a child to it, just because some say, "it's OK" is not right. Be cautious on how you are smoking it, i.e. blunts (tobacco and carcinogenic material from burning it), joints (carcinogenic from burning), vaping (safest IMO since there is no burning only H2O vapor) and Dabing (next safest but highly potent and the exhale may contain higher THC levels), when around children. Go to a large room and exhale away from the child. Lastly, please educate yourselves on the topic because bringing up the DARE nonsense that was taught in schools years ago was a waste of taxpayer money and lost brain cells. It was meant to scare you, not provide actual evidence on the use of MJ. More deaths occur because of alcohol and cigarettes than MJ ever will (non to this day when smoked in normal quantities.) These things are never debated because lobbyist have their hand in the pot as well as the political figures they are manipulating with their garbage facts. MJ was banned because money couldn't be made on it at the time, plain and simple. Before you offer more opinions on topics you have not educated yourself on, read some real unbiased articles on NORML, Google, Yahoo or pick up a book at B&N then relay that information by citing sources. Cheers and safe medicating or enjoyment with MJ!

Many people are open with their doctors as I am. NONE of them have said that I was causing harm to my body. NONE of them sat me down to say what I was doing was wrong. More shrugged it off like, "why is he telling me this, doesn't he know that MJ doesn't really hurt you since he vapes it?" If i smoked blunts to my face on a daily and developed lung cancer, it would most likely come from the tobacco that is known to have carcinogenic properties and chemicals added to it not the MJ. Look at the medical statistics from Amesterdam where it has been used for a long time now and you will see they are still better for an MJ user than a cigarette or alcohol user. No lie, i've told doctors that I vape MJ and drink socially like 2-3 beers a month, (not a fan or drinking) and I was told I should cut back or not drink at all because it's bad. It's a toxin to the system. I was never once told to stop smoking pot. If you are a sensible person, i don't see MJ ever affecting someone in a negative manner unless they have a predisposition for heart problems since some newer strains are so potent they can cause heart palpitations. Other than that, educate yourself with real facts and enjoy a joint here and there.

Marijuana smoke like all smoke is a poison, it contains a wide variety of poisons...THC is a hallucinogen, it only takes a tiny whif of marijuana smoke blown on the wind to effect me for hours, I has been know to ruin my entire day. Children being forced to breath smoke from marijuana, or anything, is a crime, there choice at sobriety is being taken away. The chances of them growing up to abuse marijuana are probably way higher than someone who is not ever exposed, it is a powerful drug that effects the children in a permanent manner, the same with tobacco, it all has both physical and psychiatric effects on their development. Same with any drug smoked, be it meth or crack or PCP, it is all poison and the children are being effected adversely. Even very small amounts of these chemicals in the children's system effect them, children react to drugs to a much greater extent than adults they are much more sensitive to chemicals. You would be surprised at how little it takes to effect one's behavior and health. Any place where children frequent should be a completely smoke free environment, a sanctuary for the child to develop properly, car, home, even the front porch of your home, children are effected, it takes very little, opening a window, or doing it in another room, or while they are asleep does not matter, it is adversely effecting those children and they are being victimized, it is just another form of abuse.

And vaporizers are no different many of the same chemicals are still present and it is still effecting their behavior and health...it may actually be worse because the chemicals are purified and concentrated.

Marijuana is far worse than tobacco, it has just as many cancer causes substances, but also far more tar and resins...do not be fooled by the hype...

    Cannabis smoke is not poison. Its not a big deal, stop perpetuating this fear of Marijuana. Its less toxic than asprin. I have seen 6 year olds eat 6 grams of hash and be fine.

     Im not saying kids should be smoking weed, but being in the same room as somebody smoking Cannabis isnt dangerious.  I would be more concerned about your hairspray or air fresheners.

listen i smoke pot and i smoke in my house my kids will be in there beds but i also have been smokin since i was 14 yrs old and guess what my parents didnt do drugs or smoke pot they drank till they couldnt stand or cook us food my point is that i cook everyday and sometimes will smoke a joint well i am cookin my kids eat very well i smoked weed in all my preganies 3 pretty babies that weighted at 6lb14oz the best. breast feeders and cause i made so much this women in the hosptail when i had my daughter could not breast feed and her child was sick the nurse asked me if they could use some of my extra milk fir the baby and i said yes her baby weight 3lb2oz and in one month of drinkin my breast milk this baby gained 3oz in one montb the mother asked me what i did and i told her i smoke weed and the women kissed me on my check and said god bless u and took her baby home after been there for 3mths and the baby wont gain weight weed is the best thing for anyone in the world my kids r bright. sharp and very very smart so yea smoke a joint just dont blow. it in there face love my kids to death

Shut the f**k up you have no probe or statistic to prove your point. Thousands of people die from cigarettes and it's obvious because they make commercials to prove the point! How many marihuana deaths have ever been reported? Exactly
