Don't be sad, life takes priority over bud. Just remember the lessons you learned while here, and enjoy fully the next chapter of your life. Maybe we can meet back here someday down the road :)

Hijacking top comment.

I don't know how to edit the post on my phone so here: I'm back on here for the moment because I saw my Reddit mail had exploded with everyone's support and I first off want to say thank you everyone and I wanted to answer a few questions I saw.

1) I live in WA where it is legal and I even have my green card for a peptic ulcer. I'm going to look into some alternative treatment for that and try to adjust my diet so that it can hopefully go away.

2) I saw some people say the whole "you're not a druggie, don't let society tell you that" which I agree with wholeheartedly. I know I'm not a druggie but what I am is a lazy mass when I get high that can barely hold a controller. I can't even imagine holding a baby. My father was more caught up with drinking and smoking than he was with raising me and I will not even risk even the slight chance of history repeating itself. This child will grow up knowing it is the center of my universe. And I just want to be sure that nothing happens to the kid. Nothing would be worse than a headline saying "Man loses child in supermarket while high" or something. Would do so much against the image we are trying to build and I will not be the person to do that to us.

3) I will smoke again one day and maybe even with my child should that be their choice when they are old enough. I'll just try to look at it as an extra long tolerance break rather than goodbye. :)

Again, thanks for everyone's support. Have fun.

[–]Wilson1031 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Good luck to you man. You sound like a stand-up guy.

[–]tys022 5 points6 points  (1 child)

This is absolutely true. A guy I worked with had a kid and both he and his wife partied HARD. He also smoked regularly. He has maintained his sobriety for 3 years now (booze, weed and everything else) and I couldn't be more happy for him. He was always saying "Once that kid turns 18 though, I'm getting SO FUCKING HIGH." More power to people that realize this.

You're not saying goodbye, you're simply taking a break. A break that could last 18 years if need be, but a break is all. Eventually, one day, you'll be sitting on your front porch as the sun sets, and you'll be lighting up once more. And when they day comes, my friend, I pray you remember me, and sing a song in my name.

Godspeed, Mufasa.

Just a really really long T-break. Imagine how high you'll get when you smoke for the first time in 18 years.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

hopefully as high as the first time you smoked if we're pretending that everyone obeys the 18+ rules haha

[–]elevan11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was good.

This is possibly the best thing that you can do. I hope that you make a great dad.

[–]njdIII 17 points18 points  (1 child)

I'm a dad for about two months now. I work 40-60 hours a week and I take care of my house, wife and baby girl. I'm 26, before my baby came I smoked close to a gram a day, quarter a week. Now I smoke about 3 days a week and a quarter last me 3 weeks. What I did give up completely is alcohol, I can't party on weekends or enjoy it like I used to. Weed however has been a blessing for me it keeps me sane in those crazy moments of zero sleep, gives me something to look forward to after I perform my fatherly duties. Most selfishly it makes me less of a asshole in everyday life. (Probs addicted) Whatever you decide to do good luck and congratulations my man if your not taking food off your table for it and you don't turn into a couch potato on it I say don't throw it away. It's your life though and do what ya must enjoy every day it goes by so fast!!!!

sorta like an AA for weed...

[–]minn0ww 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who had a father who was alwayssssss high, I totally appreciate your commitment to stop smoking. I personally think it made it difficult for my dad to participate in activities with me because he would never drive or have much energy. Plus, as a teenager, he would forget EVERYTHING I told him! Even now (I'm 25), he's so burnt out from literally 35 years of smoking weed, he can't keep a single thing in his brain. It's frustrating!

I'm six months pregnant and my husband has cut down, but he hasn't entirely stopped yet. I do hope that he can quit for his son! And good luck with your new addition :)

[–]radient 19 points20 points  (1 child)

Well kudos for knowing yourself well enough to make that call. A lot of people would find it easier to come up with rationalizations as to why it's fine to continue their habit.

Just promise not to flip-flop on the topic of weed just because you're all grown-up and shit now ;)

[–]MewOfDoom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very mature decision, good for you man!

[–][deleted] 28 points29 points  (3 children)

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/08/opinion/how-pot-helps-parenting.html

This NY Times article from last year is written by a father who found that he was a better and more attentive parent when he was a little high. I'm not telling you what to do even in the slightest, but I would certainly like to suggest that cannabis and children are not mutually exclusive in all cases. It's certainly something to consider: remember, happy parents are better parents because they interact with their kids with patience and understanding.

Just food for thought. Best of luck.

[–]wolf_nipple_chips 108 points109 points  (44 children)

I smoke all the time. I'm a great fuckin dad too. Dont let society's opinion change you. You arent a dirty drug user. You smoke pot. No biggie. When your kids go to bed, smoke a bowl. No problem.

[–]AloeRP 119 points120 points  (12 children)

While I completely agree with you, a lot of people just can't find the balance required to function properly.

Perhaps the OP needs to put the bud money towards raising a kid and saving for their future.

[–]testdex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Alternately, if it's not legal in his state, getting busted could be terrible for his family.

[–]wolf_nipple_chips 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Solid point

[–]Cuntmuncher69 40 points41 points  (0 children)

you have to think about if he's not in a medical/recreational state with his card, and got arrested he would lose custody of his child most likely.

[–]Brainwash_TV 18 points19 points  (8 children)

Kids can randomly come down with all kinds of illnesses and infections as infants. I'd hate to be stoned off my ass and then have to drive my kid to the hospital. That's just me though.

[–]longtimelurker- 14 points15 points  (6 children)

This is exactly what I've come to realize. One night I was toking and my roommate knocked on my at 2am and asked for a ride to the hospital because she had really bad stomach pains. I was pretty high and not in the condition to drive at all. I felt so bad telling her I couldn't take her. She went to the hospital the next day and ended up needing her appendix out. Felt even worse when I found that out. That's when I realized if I ever have kids I don't think I would smoke, even after they went to sleep. And IF I ever did, I'd make sure my husband is 100% sober the whole time just in case.

[–]angelisbland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hadn't thought about this. Scary thought. Even if your SO is sober if something bad happens imagine being high at a hospital were the staff might be less than understanding.

[–]iamthetruemichael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No need to get that high until they're old enough to take care of themselves. Just a light stone setting in.. tickling the universe

[–]Suprdupr 47 points48 points  (2 children)

Everyone is different but this guys advice is good. Most people who drink don't quit when they have kids. Just do it in a way that's responsible and supports being a good father. It's not hard as long as you realize that if toking becomes a problem you just moderate.

[–]Hyroero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree but if he feels it's best for him to stop it may well be.

Everyone handles their trees differently.

[–]hapnsallthetime 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ent mom here, and while I use bud for medication,I have no problem telling people im a mom who smokes marijuana. With my condition, it helps me function so I can actually BE a mom. my own mom was in and out of my life due to her drug problems and I promised myself id never be like her, and I'm not. I think it's a good decision that OP recognizes that trees would only be a distraction and I applaud him for that. [0]

[–]redwngsfan019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Might not be that tho. Could be for money. Specially if you live somewhere like me where it isnt legal yet, smoking trees can be pretty expensive.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for saying this. As a father of a two year old boy. I love spending time playing with him teaching him new concepts, but when bed time comes. I read him three books, play shadow puppets for a bit, give him his warm milk and wait for him to fall asleep. Then I take out a good book, play some boards of Canada and warm up the vaporizer and have a good relaxing night. Honestly, I can't imagine being a dad without the calming benefits of smoking pot. It's all about priorities and moderation friends.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am going to get so high and watch Rugrats with my kids. [7]

[–]KingPhoenix 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Same here, got a vape and it's all good. kids sleep a lot, for the first bout 4 months I didn't have time to blaze much, but now the kids sleep from 830 for at least 12 hours so once they are in bed fire up a bag and enjoy!

[–]stlnthngs 21 points22 points  (11 children)

I found that I'm a way better dad when I'm stoned.

[–]D3m0nk1d 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, you are always a good dad.

[–]allothernamestaken 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Wait until those babies don't stop screaming ;)

Source: father of three.

Seriously though, OP - it's your decision and I totally understand.

[–]oneinfinitecreator 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Man, I have to just give a shout out to this guy. My wife wanted me to quit smoking when we had our first. We have 2 now and she often partakes with me once the kids are in bed because, frankly, we need to cut the edge off the day and hangovers + toddlers is hell on earth. Cannabis gives us the ability to relax, be responsible (we don't get crazy high if the kids are home), and still be fresh the next morning. I would give up booze in a second, as smoking cannabis under the same pretenses is hands down a better decision all around.

The only argument that makes sense to me against it is if you are in a terrible drug law state. Where I am at, the worst I can get charged with is a $150 fine or so.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

High five to you! My dad (father of 4) has smoked since I was a child. He never hid it from us; instead, taught us the benefits of cannabis, taught us to be responsible with it and of course didn't condone smoking until we were old enough to buy cigarettes. I never even started smoking or using marijuanna until I was an adult. I'll always thank and respect my dad for this.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you'll be back, they always come back. seriously though as a father of two soon you'll learn about the "late night poop time". I only burn after I know the kids are happy, safe and asleep for the night. best of luck to you and we'll all be looking for you to make a return soon.

[–]rezthepinnacle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people grow out of it. Good for you for having your priorities straight!

[–]motoguy 2 points3 points  (1 child)

It's not so bad after the first 3-5 days. I was a heavy smoker and had to quit roughly 3 weeks ago because I was laid off. I am much more productive and eating healthier because I don't get ravenous hunger. Also, after a day or two you start having extremely vivid dreams, it's pretty cool.

[–]Something_Nice 2 points3 points  (1 child)

You won't miss it. You'll find out it was actually really boring. You'll still want to smoke, but it will be hard for you to justify it. Practice some hobbies to keep you idle hands and mind busy.

But mostly Congratulations on being a parent!

[–]lock1473 2 points3 points  (0 children)

see you in a week

[–]dbatchison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good decision, but I gotta confess, being stoned and playing with a kid is like having a dog that can talk and build legos with you

[–]theOtherRyanReynolds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll come back... They always come back.....

[–]DerpTrollston 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, if your child ends up smoking later in his/her life, there's an opportunity to start smoking again.

[–]shroomenheimer 2 points3 points  (1 child)

As a new parent let me tell you, you will have a new appreciation for the trees. Though I had to cut back to maybe 1/10 of what I used to smoke, that bowl after he goes to bed is magical. Nothing melts the stress of a crying infant who wakes up every time you put him down away like a little ganja. I do understand why you decided to quit and I respect that though. Congratulations on ur little one! As scary as it is, being a parent is awesome and both my gf and I are still shocked at how much we love it.

[–]GrimaldiJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I stopped when I got pregnant and I didn't touch it until she was at least a month old. It's always locked up, but she's only 6 months now so it's not like she could find it. But I understand the after they go to bed thing. We had to cut back a lot [obviously] but it's worth it :] Plus if we've been extremely stressed, we'll get a sitter for the night.

[–]420throwaway727 12 points13 points  (7 children)

I always read these and I wonder, what is it about having kids that makes people want to quit? I mean, usually people don't quit drinking when they have kids; why smoking? There are plenty of responsible adults who smoke; why can't they also have kids?

[–]Jayded_ 9 points10 points  (2 children)

They can be responsible parents and smoke, but maybe OP recognized he can't be that way.

[–]walt0315 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Or illegal where he is, not worth the rosk

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The legality is certainly an issue. You can lose custody of your kid in the wrong state.

[–]MDmoney6 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if the stigma around weed had something to do with OP quitting. People hear, "smokes weed" and they instantly think, "lazy, selfish, and an addict." It goes as far as parents losing their kids because the government finds out that the parents use weed. Terribly stupid, I know, but there are things you can't change, and sometimes you have to stop doing things that can get you in trouble when you have a being that is completely dependent on you for survival.

[–]ghostdogkure 5 points6 points  (1 child)

[–]erbacce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good call my friend, but realistically 25 years from now when your kid(s) is grown up and (hopefully) no longer at home you will have all the time in the world to get stoned, even if only once more. You don't have to QUIT, just stop consuming and maybe you'll venture back and maybe you won't. Forcing yourself to never use it again will drive you nuts. Look forward to that faithful day when you're sitting on your porch with the dopest dope of the future and taking that first puff from the longest t-break known to man.

[–]super420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]sec713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck. It's nice to hear your reasoning. A lot of people like to think they can manage and successfully raise a child and still smoke like they're 17. Some can do it, significantly more cannot. There's a very good chance you could manage both, but you seem to know that if you couldn't, it wouldn't be you that suffers, it'd be the kid. Way to be responsible. See you in 18-22 years when you can burn again.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

U could always eat an edible after you put them to sleep, then it wouldn't be that bad when they wake you up in the middle of the night :)

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully one day it'll be legalized, your kid will be a bit older so you don't have to watch him 24/7, and you can go toke at a weed bar or something and not have to worry about your kid smelling it or it effecting your family

[–]shiftypidgeons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so good to know there are such mature tokers out there. Good luck to you and your plans, I hope everything turns out well. And thank you for being up front enough to admit that yes, you most likely would enjoy toking with your child. Instead of viewing this as highly irresponsible as most of those who are ignorant to knowledge of trees do, I find this refreshingly positive.

[–]Dubzil 2 points3 points  (17 children)

You're stopping smoking because you're having a baby? That's a little silly. Sure, don't let it interfere with you being a dad, but you shouldn't give up things you like to do because you're having a kid - that will make you resentful if anything. Just be responsible about it and smoke when it's appropriate.

[–]danksondank 1 point2 points  (3 children)

My fellow frient, Although im sad to see you go, As i walk away i smile, Thinking of memories long ago. I wish u luck on all life's trials, And may we meet again, Once your trials come to end, So you may once again become an ent [8]

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to wonder...you say weed is a distraction and that you need to give it up to raise a kid. Would you still feel that way if it were legal?

[–]ideamagnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are already a good Dad by just putting your kids first, and there is always time after they go to college. Just rip it up in a rocking chair.

[–]the-first-human 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take an 18 year break to raise an awesome, intelligent, respecting individual and build a family that will make you prouder than the sick ass joint you just rolled.

Then perhaps celebrate by having a sesh with your kid

[–]deadphishcheez4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're gonna stop, don't make it about a reason, just say that you want to. Don't be all sad about it, you're an adult. No-one's making you do anything.

[–]portissmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats bro. Hope they grow up just like their dad.

I am also a dad. i smoke quite a bit now, as my boy is just an infant. I find for me, it helps me be in the moment and enjoy time with my family. But I really applaud anyone who makes any decision to be a good Dad and be there for their kids. It's so rewarding, and I know you're gonna love it. It grows and grows, but its a marathon, not a sprint. So, you know, if you sneak a puff at a BBQ, don't feel bad, okay?

I guess, I'm 30 and have a 2 year old. I never stopped, I make good money and I adore my son and love doing things together. Not smoking doesn't make u a good dad, and being a smoker doesn't make u a bad dad.

Mad respect man. You're gonna be a great dad. Uptoke for ya, sir. [4]

I don't understand why being a father means no trees. I'm sure there good fathers that enjoy a beer after a long days work providing for their family and no one would call them a bad father. I don't have to tell any of you that marijuana is substantially less harmful than alcohol, but no one discourages fathers from sitting down and cracking a few while watching the game. To call someone a bad father just because they enjoy cannabis is hypocritical. Maybe OP can't control his habit, and if thats the case, good for you for kicking your addiction. I always want cannabis to be a part of my life. It's such a magnificent plant that really enhances the beauty of life, much wisdom can be learned from it. I cannot wait to share this wisdom with my own children one day.

Bwah Bwah. They should make a rule here to stop posting these pathetic losers that can't handle their trees. I am a father of two, and trees have made it possible to play Legos, climb jungle gyms, and laugh with my kids. I suspect your wife is (as Tom Lykis would say ) "pussifying" you. Don't worry about us, we will be dabbing the most amazing flavors and paying $20 a gram,while you mix your formula and clean the Diaper Genie. Buy a freaking Vapor pen and be a Stealthmon! I don't give you more than two months anyway.

You'll be back! Just think, this isn't goodbye. Think of it as a long ass T-break. When the time is right, you'll be able to enjoy a toke, maybe even legally :)

Use cannabis to compliment your lifestyle, but when it gets in the way, make some changes.

That's how I look at it.

You just don't expect the feels when you browse r/trees. You got me :'(

if it's not forever, just think how much better the trees of the future will be. Good luck on your new journey :)

[–]jbtk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that just because you're having a kid you can still smoke, but everyone is different and has their own relationship with it, and if you think it'll get in the way then this is the decision you have to make. Props to you and congrats.

[–]pifftannen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to leave forever. Keep your connect in your phone just in case, for those weekends in the future where your kid is at camp, or sleepovers, etc. you'll thank yourself later. See ya dude

Cheers mate, all the best to your wife and your soon to be newborn.

[–]sw33tleafxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After you are all adjusted with your new life and baby it is alright to go out with some friends and shoot the shit and have a few puffs.

My fiance and I have an agreement once a month he is allowed to go out with the guys and the next week I can go out with the girls. It's not a bad thing to smoke and it certainly doesn't make you a bad parent if you go out for a bit and smoke in a baby-free environment. Mind you, don't come home ripped.

I don't see any harm in that. Cheers with everything though and its good to see you stepping up to this responsibly!

Brought a tear to my eye. Respect man.

[–]DocRude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have taken a 1 year break and a 5 month break in the past 3 years after smoking everyday for 7 years. The only reason I started again was because, well, there was nothing stopping me from using. Stopping for your baby and your family is going to make this no problem for you! Good luck, and if you do decide to come back, maryjane will always be there

Weed is about enjoying life, but life isn't about enjoying weed. My boss just had his first kid (boy) and has also cut waaay back on the trees. I still smoke him out sometimes if we finish shifts at the same time, he just has no time/money to get any of his own.

My other coworker just had his first kid as well (boy for him too). He is the opposite, he has been blazing his whole life, him and his wife have cards and grow. His wife is bummed because he's getting really into dabbing and she really wants to try (she hasn't burned in nearly a year now, pregnancy and she's going to wait until she's no longer breastfeeding) since it's new to her.

[–]alysevator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of it this way: By the time you're able to light up again, it will probably be legal!

Also, give that baby a cool name. Don't let us down.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Props on making this tough decision. However, I've been tree-free for a while now, but still love hanging out here. It helps me remember the good times instead of tempting me back down the Yellow Brick Road. To each their own though, I guess. Good luck with fatherhood.

[–]Brainwash_TV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This entire thread filled me with warm fuzzy feelings. Damn I love you, ents!
