RE: My son, my future daughter and what frightens me.

in #blog7 years ago

I have been told that in BC, Canada, marijuana use is NOT allowed to be used as a reason for MCFD to take away children. And in your case it would be especially true since it is Medical Marijuana.

You can do your own research to back up what I say, because I would never want to risk your family with bad information, but someone that I know was told this by her own Social Worker and lawyer. The Social Workers ripped into her for other supposed issues that they conjured up -- but they never tried to use occasional marijuana use against her. I would think that they would have if they could have.

I actually have read similar things, but its more the stigma, the fact people are willing to look at me with disgust because of a plant i smoke. I dont do it in front of my kid, i dont leave it out. I just like strong and smelly varieties. So i often carry the aroma with me. What really bothers me about it honestly is that my kids are legitimately the absolute most important part of my life. I wouldnt hesitate to give my life for them.
For people to so ignorantly throw around threats like that it just breaks my heart. Its not a joke. My entire life could be turned upside down because of a threat like that. Its like if a whale on steemit were to downvote me because i like ethereum more than bitcoin. Because i dont agree with their views on life. Its damn terrifying to know one ignorant person decides to call them and suddely it make my hard work as a parent look insignificant because someone else who doesnt know me thinks they know whats best for a child they dont know and love. They dont cry in joy having him fall asleep in their arms. They dont rush home to see his smile. Yes i medicate with marijuana, but when im home with him i dont need any medicine. I use it for the times im not with my family. Depression, anxiety, fear thats what the pot is for. My love is strictly for my kin. Thanks for everything @canadian-coconut i appreciate the words of solidarity. Its something i dont get much irl.
