a drug is a drug, its not acceptable for me to see people smoke cannabis or marijuana, even if the argument is either of them provide pain relief its still a drug.
and yes i do believe if you are a drug addict you deserve to have your kids taken from you, drug addicts will proberbly still never learn, as long as they get there 'hit'

I understand where you're coming from. Sometimes a zero tolerance stance is a good one to take.
In my opinion though, not in this case. There are many drugs available out there - Some legal and some illegal.
who is putting the child at risk more, the weekend clubber who takes ecstacy for the evening and dances the night away, goes home and gets on with their life normally.
Or the parent that constantly smokes around their children?
I'm afraid that making a drug legal or illegal doesn't make it any better or worse for you.
Just because some drugs are socially acceptable and some aren't doesn't mean that being exposed to them at young age is ok or not.
How many of us were given shandy to drink by our parents!!! but no-one called them bad parents.
How many of us (I did) tried cigarettes at a young age because they were easy to get hold of.
As long as ALL drugs are kept out of the way of children then I don't think there is a problem. I am talking about "recreational drugs". Heroin/Crack is a different kettle of worms IMO.
