This note on the efforts of some women in popularising the use of pot since its recreational use was accepted in Ottawa, Canada is a frightening thought.
This newspaper report reminds us of the pressure under which women work and their pleas to optimise their 'wellness' by smoking pot.
Sometimes I wonder which way we are going in our pursuit for self gratification! We have been told for years in scientific literature the health hazards of pot, now there is a legitimisation of its use. Its addictive effect is well known.
The societal values change and there is tolerance towards what was considered not healthy until recently.
I am alarmed at the effect of this on teenage population. The nineteen sixties was a season of permissiveness which the teenage population took full advantage of. Now there is another stimulus to return to permissiveness!
I have another take on this report! Do we sense the 'travails' that come upon on women while they multi-task!
I have often argued that married women be given concession from work half hour each day, as a token of our gratefulness to what they contribute to their homes! We let down women when we do not recognise the additional roles they play for which they need time and support!
