Bill to define pot near kids child abuse

Bill to define pot near kids as child abuse

Quote:

A new bill introduced in the Colorado Senate Health and Human Services Committee last Thursday seeks to circumvent the state's 2012 legalization of recreational marijuana by making it a crime to use or possess pot in front of minors.

Senate Bill 278 would make it a crime for any parent/caregiver to use or possess any illegal drug in front of kids and would legally define a "drug-endangered child" in the context of "child abuse and neglect." Despite medical and recreational pot both being legal according to state law, SB 278 relies on the federal Controlled Substances Act that criminalizes all marijuana use.

Although sponsors of SB 278 claim the bill's intent is to create uniformity between police, child welfare services, and other agencies, it appears to be an underhanded attempt at restricting Amendment 64.

Colorado presently ranks second in the US for prescription drug abuse. Yet Colorado politicians seem content with ignoring the real problem while defying the will of the people by going after legal pot in this manner.




i agree that people should not be intoxicated around children at all, even if it is legally prescribed. but what is your opinion on this? and is it child abuse to have just possession of pot near kids?

Should add an amendment to include alcohol.


How many kids have been ruined by their parents drinking in front of them?

Just possesion around children should not be a crime.

Doing something stupid around children while intoxicated should be.

I dont. I know plenty of people who will light up infront of their kids. The kids pick up on smoking is bad because they dont like 2nd hand smoke. It deters them from it. And two, why is this illegal but with parental consent kids of any age can be wrote prescriptions for pot? Its contradictory to say the least.

Its not child endangerment to get wasted infront of children, in most states and also socially accepted

The only harm that will be done to kids other than stripping them from their parents and state care if this bill passes.

We come so far to bring the medicinal properties of marijuana to light just to demonize it again for children?  Demonize alcohol, it actually kills people.
