— Charges you could face for smoking cannabis around kids – Nikki McGee
https://newschannel20.com/news/local/charges-you-could-face-for-smoking-cannabis-around-kids
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With
the legalization of marijuana, law enforcement is warning parents to stay on
the side of caution when using it at home. As marijuana’s legalization rolls
out, the law is defining where it can and cannot be used. While you can smoke
and pose it behind closed doors, rules change if you have children in the
house. “You cannot knowingly use in close proximity [around] anyone under
21 years of age,” Illinois “Weed Lawyer” W. Scott Hanken said. Any marijuana
kept in your house must also be in a pre-packaged, childproof container and
kept out of reach. “It’s not a good idea to expose them to a mind-altering
substance and we know there can be secondhand smoke that could be inhaled by
the cannabis,” Sangamon County Sheriff Campbell said. “So it’s vital that
if the parents are going to partake in this, that they don’t expose their
children to it.” Sheriff Campbell said his department already investigates
cases where they are tipped off about a child smelling like cannabis and
sometimes even meth-making chemicals. It’s something they can take action on.
“We would look at the totality of the circumstances and determine whether
or not the parent was endangering the life or safety of a child,” Sheriff
Campbell said. “At that time, we would decide whether or not to either
immediately arrest them or to file charges through the state’s attorney’s
office.” Mandated reporters, like teachers, are required to report
suspected child neglect or endangerment to law enforcement. You also need to be
careful if you watch other children. “If you also happen to have a child
daycare in that residence, obviously you cannot use it or consume it there,” Hankin
said. Any marijuana kept in the house must also be in a prepackaged, childproof
container. In other words, kept out of reach. Although you can smoke on private
property… Legally it can’t be around your child. The sheriff is also
concerned about edibles, which are often packaged as treats like candy or baked
goods. He especially wants parents to keep these items secure, since they might
look tempting to a child.)

40 years we have run our economy based on a flawed assumption: that the wealthy
earned all their money from working harder than the rest of us, and that letting
the wealthy keep all of their money will promote investment and job growth.
However, prioritizing the interests of the 1% reduces competition and
investment, increases economic insecurity and undermines democratic
participation.)
