Judged for using cannabis
I absolutely got into a heated fight with my aged buddy Connie the other day.
The people I was with and I have known each other for multiple years, going back before middle school even, and we have consistently been fairly close! Since she had her baby last year she has changed a lot, becoming 1 of those helicopter parents that gets mad about social trends because of “what it might do to the baby.” I have 3 kids, was a single mom for most of that time, so I know what it’s care about to raise kids.
She was so judgmental in condemning parents who smoked cannabis, that I couldn’t hold it back and I let her have it. I asked her to clarify, and she said that yeah indeed, she believed any parents who smoked cannabis were unfit parents. Then I told her that I smoked cannabis, and I had been smoking it every day since middle school (except for when I was pregnant, of course). She was completely shocked by this news, even though I was absolutely often high when I saw her, she just never viewed me as the style of person who smokes cannabis. I pressed her, asking her to tell me what “type” of person is a cannabis user, and saying that perhaps her prejudices were aged and wrong. I don’t smoke marijuana around my kids ,I don’t take them to the cannabis dispensary with me, I don’t encourage them to try it, however but after minutes, when I am alone I smokes tons of cannabis, and she could either care about it or see herself out!
