Should parents smoking pot lose custody of their children?

I say yes. While certain members doing this would disagree, I think its harmful for the child to be around it and it sets a bad example. Is it really possible to use drugs in front of Your child and be a good parent?

What is Your opinion?

I agree.....

Perhaps not lose custody but they should be punished. Not for once, if they keep on doing it in front of kids then yes.

No. Marijuana should be legal and normalized. Why is it worse than alcohol?

I never said it was worse than alcohol, but how is that an argument for legitimizing it? What do you consider as the pros about since you consider it good for parents doing it? Do you think its okay that parents are high while around their kids?

It's as harmful as same sex couples being allowed to adopt children.

Smoking tobacco is harmful as well. Should smokers' children be taken away? I'm no pot advocate, by the way. I despise the stuff.

No. All drugs should be legal. As long as the parents do not cause any harm to the children as a result of their drug use, they should be allowed to administer and ingest any and all substances into their bodies that they see fit. All humans (unless found incompetent due to say mental illness etc.) are endowed with reason and as such should be able to decide for themselves whether or not to take drugs.
