Honestly, I feel like my efforts to try and argue with you won't go anywhere because you're very emotional about this subject and you have an agenda. I have a medicinal marijuana card. I smoke marijuana. Chill the fuck out, Jesus Christ. But here we go.
In fact, that would support my hypothesis even more, because it wouldn't just be irresponsible to store that on the table, but flat idiotic as it's a huge security issue along the lines of piling cash on your kitchen table.
Not sure what you're trying to say here. So you are agreeing that it was irresponsible yes? Good, we're on the same page on that issue. Leaving that much marijuana on a kitchen table is irresponsible.
Um...what? This isn't necessarily true by any measure. Is it wrong for them to do so with their kid in the same room? Likely so, but still questionable. In the same house? Likely not (I want to say clearly not, but I recognize that some people would likely disagree). But can you find me an article about a child being taken for smoking cigarettes in the same room or house as a child?
The marijuana was on the kitchen table along with drug paraphernalia such as the smoking utensils. Therefore it is safe to assume she was smoking in the kitchen. I think that's messed up, I wouldn't want someone to smoke cigarettes in my kitchen. Your argument would be valid if she was smoking in her room but she wasn't. And for the question, again, I repeatedly said I don't think taking her away from her child was right, but that doesn't justify her actions of smoking in the kitchen right either. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Cite a single peer reviewed source for this. In fact, given that you require burning MUCH less plant matter to smoke cannabis (and far less if she's smoking oil), I highly doubt that you can support this at all. At least the other things that you said were either assumptions or moral assertions. This line is just flat false.
http://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJM198802113180603 As compared with smoking tobacco, smoking marijuana was assoicated with a nearly fivefold greater increment in the blood carboxyhemoglobin level, an approximately threefold increase in the amount of tar inhaled... She had a pound of marijuana. She smoked frequently with her friends. That's enough second hand smoke.
Also, if it wasn't illegal they'd likely go outside, but they can't, and you're supporting the system that doesn't let them even if you're not supporting the prohibition itself.
She could also smoke in her room like any responsible marijuana user.
So, the system that you're supporting has forced her to do something that isn't unquestionably wrong and you want to give her "some kind of repercussion". Since "some kind of repercussion" comes from the government and requires the use of force (or the threat of it) to enforce, you are advocating the use of force by the government. Why are you now denying that?
I was thinking something along the lines of a small fee or fine. Lol.
