The fact that Marijuana Use in California is Legal does not mean that it cannot create a risk of harm to your children. (In re Alexis E. (2009) 171 Cal.App.4th 438, 452)
That is, even legal use of Marijuana can be abuse if it presents a risk of harm to your kids. (Amy P. v. Jonathan P., 2022 Cal. App. Unpub. LEXIS 7432)
If you are a Parent and you smoke Marijuana, you may run afoul of CPS if you do the following:
- You regularly smoke Marijuana in front of your children forcing them to ingest second hand smoke. (In re Alexis E., supra, 171 Cal.App.4th at p. 452.)
- You store your Marijuana within reach of your children. Doing so could place your children at risk. (See In re Yolanda L. (2017) 7 Cal.App.5th 987, 993, 212 Cal. Rptr. 3d 839 ["Leaving drugs or drug paraphernalia within [children's] reach is an example of negligent conduct that will support section 300, subdivision (b) dependency jurisdiction."].)
