I'm in my late 40s and I'm having real problems with my memory, which I attribute to endless knife-hoot sessions when I was 15 to 17.
On the other hand, we drink. When we have parties we drink a fair bit. I have no qualms about cracking beers in front of my kids. But I find it hard to imagine smoking a joint in front of them - or even being stoned around them. It would just seem wrong. Which probably isn't rational.

Over time I expect the stigma will disappear and it will be more common for parents to smoke in front of their kids as they do with drinking.
Will cannabis companies be able to advertise on TV like beer and liquor companies do?
