The substance of marijuana is becoming legal in an increasing number of states. With the rise in legallity of marijuana comes a question of how will child protective agencies treat marijuana use by a parent or guardian. Family courts have continued to use the “actual harm” standard to determine child abuse and neglect. In addition to that standard, this Note proposes the adoption of “conduct specific” language into state marijuana statutes in order to further clarify for such agencies when investigations warrant a child neglect or abuse petition to be filed against parents.

并非如此：大麻法律应包括“特定行为”用语，以防止针对吸烟者父母的不公正的儿童疏忽大意

大麻的实质在越来越多的州变得合法。随着大麻合法性的提高，一个问题是儿童保护机构将如何对待父母或监护人使用的大麻。家庭法院继续使用“实际伤害”标准来确定虐待和忽视儿童的行为。除该标准外，本说明还建议在州大麻法规中采用“特定于行为”的用语，以便在调查允许对父母提起儿童疏忽或虐待申请时进一步澄清此类机构。
