Number one, if she smoked pot, she wouldn't be my "best" friend because I don't. Weed users seem to kinda hang together. Right or wrong, I wouldn't report her unless I observed neglect. Neglect is the bottom line here, I think.

No, I wouldnt. I know its illegal but I think alcohol is so much worst than pot. Now if she were getting the child high or not taking care of her that would be different. But if shes a great mother then thats wonderful. If the child were taken away her life would be much worst in foster care than with a mom who gets high.

Is she a single mother and the only one caring for the child or is she married or does she have a partner that also cares for the child? I don't think it is o.k. to smoke "pot" when you are caring for a toddler any more than I think it is o.k. to be drinking alcohol when you are responsible for the care of a young child. Being entirely present is essential to the well-being of the child..you are not entirely present when you inhale/ingest anything that is mind-altering, no matter how "benign" you think it is. :(

Personally, no I wouldn't. Well, actually, I guess it would depend on the frequency of the smoking, like if it was every now again, I'd say it would be ok, everyone needs their little get aways every now and again. But if it was getting to a point where it was most days and she's smokes alot, then firstly I'd prob approach her about it first and try to make her see the dangers and the effects it's having on her parenting etc, then if she continued, I'd look at speaking to someone about it. Hope that helps!

In a heartbeat. The adult has a choice, the child doesn't, so i'll favor the child every time. Children deserve a whole lot better than that from the people who are supposed to care for them. No person stoned out of their brain is capable of giving full care and attention to a child on a good day, let alone in an emergency, and as such they shouldn't have a child in their care.

O yes. We must get the police involved at all costs, so more people will have police and prison records. Whatever happens, call the police immediately.

No. Compared to what else is out there, pot's about the equivalent to aspirin in my mind. So she smokes a little to relax or whatever. I think anyone who's had to deal with the terrible two's (which sometimes don't end until they're 22) would understand her need to unwind.

If she constantly smokes pot then her mind cannot function properly to care for a child. She needs to have a clear mind in case something happens, and a 3 year old can get into anything. Pot makes people "space out" and reduces their attention span. You should talk to her about the risk involved. If anything happens to the child and they find out it was due to her pot smoking she will lose her child. There is also the chance she will get "busted". That means going to jail and again she will lose her child. People don't think about this until it's too late. When you have a child it's not worth the risk. Talk to her.
