We’ve been having BBQs and parties with our circle of friends and our kids since long before pot was legalized. Even though we often drink to excess and things can get boisterous, anyone who smokes pot slinks off to a garage to do it surreptitiously. This has continued after pot was legalized.

There’s still something about smoking pot that feels skeevy. When we have parties we do discretely drink THC drinks when the kids are around (they’re all teenagers now) without any fuss. But even there it’s not really open like the booze is. I’ll tell the kids I’m going to the liquor store to grab some beer. I don’t tell them if I’m grabbing some gummies.

I don’t know why we still have a double-standard. Probably generational.
