Shame on you!

This is why I smoke outside.

Didn't I say that the only thing worse than being a bad example to children is a prostitute? The article is about a foster mom who made the mistake of having her photographs developed at a photolab. A busybody employee with nothing better to do reported the incriminating photographs, which showed a foster mom smoking pot in front of her baby.

OH THE HUMANITY!

I am going to assume that you have read the article and are thinking, "What was she thinking smoking pot in front of her baby?"

Now reread the article and every time they mention marijuana or pot or bongs think cigarette, tobacco and lighter and you can make the stunning realization that this is shockingly overblown and the kids are being removed from a loving foster mom due to discrimination.

And how does this have anything to do with discrimination? The young lady in question made the mistake of admitting that it was marijuana in her pipe. Do you really think that the kids would have been removed if she had been smoking the leaves of a far more harmful but less demonized plant, such as tobacco? Oh no, the busybody photolab worker would never have phoned the police and small children would not have been removed from a loving home.

Endangering children, my ass. The drug laws have absolutely nothing to do with protecting children or anybody else. If that were the case, then the two most harmful drugs, alcohol and tobacco would not be legal for use and consumption. Millions of people die from consuming tobacco and alcohol. How many people die from consuming marijuana?

Zero.
