The Parents Losing Kids Over Weed

If weed makes you a neglectful parent then what does alcohol make you? Because those keg daddies and wine moms are WAY more disastrous to any family unit than any ol weed head. 🌱

Yet drunks have as many kids as they want and it’s a-ok. Legalize don’t stigmatize.

8 fckg months of clean drug tests and they still possibly won’t return her kids??? What more did they want?

Someone is making money off taking these children from their mothers. Our society is driven by profit profit profit.

Y'all remember when they took two kids away from their parents because the parents smoked medical marijuana, and then the foster lady they gave the kids to murdered both the children in cold blood? Not a single person should have their kids taken away for smoking weed. Children should only be taken in abuse and neglect situations. And they do not take kids for not having warm coats. I know a kid on my mom's street who didnt have a coat until my mom gave him one because his parents bought him one "as a christmas present" and weren't going to give it to him until Christmas. We live in Michigan where it gets cold in October.

You are a mom and dad with 3 packs of cigarettes at home or you're a family that got 7 alcohol bottles in your kitchen, the cps does nothing. You got pot at home, they knock at your door ? That's ridiculous and cruel. Support to them, this needs to change.

I would love it if Vice could do follow-ups to these re-uploads. It's been three years. Spend a week interviewing these lawyers and prosecutors again to figure out if society has evolved in a good direction!

This story is one that needs to be looked at closer. There is no bigger nightmare than having your kids taken away and being at the mercy of the court and child protective services. Nothing more heartbreaking.

I'm hating the old reposts. Could we at least get an update on some of these situations? Too much has happened in the last few years for this to have much truth anymore.

But Elon Musk can keep his and run a billionaire empire??? Let’s be serious here. Stoners are not the problem.

This was gut wrenching for me personally. My parents did mess with more than just weed but the greater impact that it had on my life surrounded the substance as I also went into foster care until my grandparents adopted me but my mother couldn’t keep sober off pot and got caught up in the pill mill industry for which her primary doctor was charged for his role in bogus prescriptions. So either prison and no children over weed or opioids until you’re numb. How do you win? The 90s in conservative areas destroyed a lot of families over almost nothing.

I’m 26, my mom is a chronic pot head. Thankfully never had cps take me away. I turned out awesome.

Oh geez i thought this was about kids dieing from weed. What is wrong with me? This is way more believable. And absolutely ridiculous.

We have a single mother problem, poverty issues, and dead end low wage jobs. Too many using government assistance and no issues are being address, but using casinos as a mediator for jobs... smh. I don't smoke and can say weed is not a problem unless you feel Marijuana incarceration is the result of many fatherless children. However, pills and alcohol runs free to kill more than some plagues. update YT has violate my 1st amendment and now aims to narrate my comments below. Thanks for deleting real statistics in the modern world.

Why post your old content from 2021?

Crazy how many kids are kidnapped.

Kidnapping campaign

Over some weed???? So dumb.

They took my daughter over weed and literally did the same thing to me wouldn't give her back and it's been 5yrs

They do that in Alabama, too.They will take and keep your kids. Pot ain't as bad as alcohol.
