Its been almost 3 weeks now and im finally ungrounded officially tomorrow. Three weeks ago, i told my parents that i smoke weed and was planning on buying more the day after i told them. It all started the day before when i bought a quarter ounce with my friend and were out most of the day in mother nature. We had a radio, blanket, frisbee, and our stash and hit about 15 bowls in about an hour. We went into town earlier and he(Nick) bought some incense for his room and a cool holder. We left it back at my place and grabbed our gear and head out to the woods near a lake. We were totally baked and had fun playing frisbee for awhile and it was a great day to be outside and really enjoyed it. Got home later that night and he went to fetch his incense in my room and my whole family was over and i had my backpack with a bong in it so it was pretty sketch. But it all seemed okay til the next morning when my mom was wondering why he had incense. He really did get it cuz he always liked the smell of it and wanted to cover up his parents ciggarette smelling house, but my mom thought he smoked. So i covered up for him and tried to straighten things out. But i felt guilty all day and thought about telling her. Well anyways, later that day i wanted to buy shrooms from a friend on the phone(and it was gunna be my first time with those too) so i turned up some SCI and went to my bed that was farthest away from my door in my room. SOMEHOW! After i finished the call by saying "Okay dude, ill see you Wednesday with the money. Peace!" my mom overheard the call. She came in crying asking if i was making a deal on the phone but i denied, denied, denied...and she seemed alright. But the guilt just hit so hard. I came down and told her about me smoking and was making a deal for pot(really shrooms lol) and she broke out emotionally and said its the worst thing in the world. Well, yelling and argueing, punishments, crying, it ended. I had to stay home for 3 weeks and could only leave home for school and exercise. Compare that punishment to my sister having 2 parties in the house last summer when my parents were out for a week and have beer and people over and only got 4 weeks grounding. But now they are trusting again. I found out neat stuff about my stepdad that lives with me and my mom and he knows its not a bad thing to smoke but says not to waste my money on it cuz ill want to spend it on more valuable things later on. But he said just do what i think is right for me. I learned a pretty good lesson from it. Im not going to quit, it realy isnt a bad thing for people to smoke. Ill just be more cautious of my actions and wont push things to the limit anymore. Ill add more details later. Peace!
damn that sucks dude but if there is one thing i learned from this drug life is to never feel the guilt but i think your mom really over reacted, no helping those kind of parents it's cool about your step-dad though =]
you must feel realy good fessing up i know i would congrats but i dont plan on fessing up untill im a bit older
Shit, if I ever told my parents I smoked weed they'd disown me and/or try and make me get rehab help. Of course my parents are nazis, especially my mom.
my mom is veyr weird bout it, she is always telling me that she cant trust me cause i got caught smoking pot... my dad isnt cool bout it, but he has never brought it up
Have you tried talking to her? Get some common myths and facts and present it to her. There has been some pretty intelligent people that are well-known that smoke weed. For instance, Carl Sagan.
DAMN IT you beat me to saying that.... when i got busted and my parents tried the old guilt one on me it sure as hell didnt work....but them being parents they felt guilty for punishing me (not sure why, i deserved it) so i got off easy, no grounding, nothing so the lesson is: NEVER EVER feel guilty.... (well sometimes feel guilty but only with un-drug related cause)
Yea, i got over the fact that parents will always turn things around to make it harsh for their kids. So tomorrow ill be out all day celebrating St Pattys day with an 8th of this excellent chocolate-chip tasting bud, an 8th of shrooms, and some beers with two buddies. We got school off for a teachers convention, they probably just wanted to go out and drink lol, but im not complaining. Peace and love!
once wen i almost got caught, i was thinking about telling my dad cause that basterd was making me think it was alright and that he wouldnt care too much. but i pushed that thought away and i finally stopped both parants from accusing me by making up some bull shit about that i was in the room but not smoking. they bought it and i got away with it :sunglasse dont admit untill you are out of the house and they cant control you. they have the irght to know then
my rents know but dont really make it a big deal anymore, i respect them so they're happy. However sometimes they'll be like "are you high?" when im just having an easy going conversation with them sober, which is kind of annoying.
my mom knows and she's cool with it. she asks me if i'm high and i just give her a really wide smile and she knows what i mean.
No guilt? How can you look into your own mothers eyes and lie to her without feeling guilt? If the topic ever arose, I would tell my parents too. You did the right thing man.
it would be impossible to look into my moms eyes and if your going to do shit your parents dont approve of then dont do it if your going to feel guilty every time
Dude I can toatally relate. I just got busted today and my mom cried sooo much. I can understand cuz I broke the trust, but damn it sucks that it has to be over this wonderful plant. I think I'm just getting a few weeks grounding and I can't use the car for a couple weeks. I think I'll be takin' a break for a while... well 4/20 is about a month away, that should be a good break. Good luck with everything tho man I feel ya!
yeah man it was good you told them, i mean it would suck keeping it secret for a long time, trust me i know man. plus some of yous guys with people to smoke with like your rents and neighbors and their rents, yous guys are lucky as hell man.
I smoke pot with my mom...shes coo. My dad would be mad if he knew i smoked though. (parents are seperated)
lol... wait a minute d00d... if you know your parents smoke, then why are you afraid of them knowing that you smoke? if my parents smoked, i'd be like "hell yea, family bonding time". when u think they're high, go get high, then walk in and have a conversation. go weed!
