    I’m sorry that a former rapper and gang-banger had to explain the concept of adoption to his grand-kid. Must have been traumatizing.

    I’ve known quite a few older people who were lifetime pot smokers. They all ended up just a little fucked in the head. So much so I quit. Its a myth that pot makes you creative. I figured out how to be chill without it and the ideas I have now really work. While some people I know in my age group who still lean into it are not able to figure out or see the simplest of solutions. Its noticeable and I wish there was some way to study the long term cognitive decline of lifetime smokers. Dude can’t explain how love is love. That its a personal choice everyone gets to make. Sounds like he doesn’t want those kids to be free but be some version he has to approve of.

        You made that leap of logic yourself. I was implying that habitual smoking makes you prone to idiotic thoughts. Hmmmmm.

      Yup, same. I know some people that really seem to become less sharp with prolonged pot use. There is no free lunch, all drugs, when taken regularly, fuck you up. But, at the end we all die, so I’m going to enjoy a beer and a smoke every now and then. Just don’t make it a habit, and when in any doubt, do less or quit.

        Yeah, I’ve smoked a few times in the last five years. Less then five times. Usually in a social situation. Its the wake and bake dailies that will harm you. I really don’t miss it. I was self medicating past abuses and as soon as I confronted them I didn’t need it anymore.

      It’s all starting to make sense. Excessive marijuana use makes people gravitate toward conservative ideology. Man are all those old hippies going to be upset when I give them the news.

      Apparently I need to add this: /s

    I hate this argument. “You people can’t exist in public because I might have to talk to my stupid kids”.

    My son just started third grade. It is actually super easy to answer questions like this if you’re a kind person who allows others to keep their humanity if they are different, and if you actually cultivate a relationship with your child.

    Explaining how two women parent a child? Wow, that must be tough my snoop guy. Better to just hide from the public like a little bitch, as you might say.

    I mean, I’ve had to address things like the topic of death because of a grandparent dying young and a future sibling ending in a miscarriage. And the original due date recently passed too. oof.

    But thank fucking god that in my family’s weakened state, none of us were assaulted by the vile image of two women holding hands and kissing a baby on the head at the same time.

    Check this out though Dogg: if you were sent back 50 years in time with white skin and no memory, within a week you’d be fighting to bring back segregation. Cunt.
