I was out the other day and saw these wine glasses at a big department store. Wine glass that says on it 'Mommy's sippy cup'. What kind of message is that sending to kids? Yet no one seems overly concerned. O.K don't get me wrong, I LOVE a nice glass of wine - well did, and will still from time to time enjoy a nice glass on a special occasion (love Toasted Head *red) - so it's NOT about the wine. I have had several times when someone has commented on what I was wearing, once it was earrings with cannabis leaves on them; made for me by an artist friend and beautiful with green beads, another time was a necklace that another friend bought me - it has a glass pot leaf, black on one side and colorful on the other. Both times I had negative comments. Over a leaf, nowhere do they say 'SMOKE grass' or 'Pick Pot' .. or 'Mommy's leafy helper'. Yet for some reason these 'Mommy's sippy cup' are not only acceptable but it sells for about$12 a glass -Not filled with wine.
A sippy cup is what little babies & toddlers use so they don't spill stuff so what exact message are we trying to send? This is your sippy cup and when you get bigger this is a sippy cup too. Who will be blamed when the child has an alcohol problem? Mommy's sippy cup? YET this is O.K.? Alcohol -legal, kills people every day, destroys lives, physically and financially, Cannabis saves lives, eases pain and suffering, helps people unwind and has never killed anyone - Illegal. YET -I get dirty looks for a necklace?
I am very tired of the double standards. I do know people who can drink in moderation - I will admit I know many more that don't - they drink to feel shit faced.
Some of the worst to criticize Cannabis users are Alcohol consumers. If you want to drink - drink, but how dare anyone criticize someone for their Cannabis use, especially when used for medicinal reasons. Don't smoke a joint but pop back a few martini's -that's o.k.
F*&^%$ Hypocrites. A hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation.

Cannabis a problem? ALCOHOL is a serious problem with our young all around the world.
And Mommy's little sippy cup is NOT helping.
