When will people finally begin to accept that weed is not the worst that a person can do? I know that this is a question without an answer but I figured I might as well look for some insight. My parents found out just last night that I smoked marijuana... I might as well have said that I was part of some terrorist group. I was too close to losing house and home. Today, an understanding was reached and peace again resides in this house. Thankfully. Safe to say that when I have children of my own, learning that they smoke will be the least of my worries.
Any form of drugs can be extremely negative if taken to an extreme. Marijuana is psychologically addictive, and a lot of teens do get addicted, even though none of them would admit it. I think that the key here is more of a lack of trust than drugs. Drugs are just easy to blame. I have always told my parents that I smoked... they were extremely against it, but I just straight up told them that I do it, and that I will continue on doing it. I never had to wait to get caught or sneak around. I didn't smoke too much, and eventually they just learned to accept it. The media has given marijuana a terrible name. I would suggest getting your parents more informed on the issue, let them read some literature on the subject... ...and ofcourse, do not smoke in their house while you live in it. Anyhow, one day ganja will be legalized, and then people's views will radically change. Most people are easily manipulated by society.
See I've never been one to smoke often. And while I wanted to be open with them on the subject, they reacted very negatively whenever I brought it up. I guess that was when the connection was lost. I've never smoked in the house. Always thought it would be disrespectful. I think I'll take your advice and give them some more information on marijuana. From our conversation today, I could definitely tell that they both lacked knowledge. More often than not, they sounded like some Anti-Drug commercial. As for it being legalized... one can only hope.
Yeah, it's more about you sneaking around, than the actual act. Be upfront with your parents. If they set rules like "no weed," then don't smoke it. You can wait until you move out to get stoned, can't you? And I'm sure your parents would be much more concerned about other things than weed. Why not get pregnant? Then weed will be no big deal in comparison. Unless you smoke weed WHILE pregnant, of course. Or you could sell your body for cash..then buy drugs with the cash, and get pregnant via whoredom. That would be MUCH worse! Then your parents will realize how good they had it when you were just smoking weed.
Yeah, that definitely seems like the right way to go. It's imperative for you to stay calm, reacting negatively will only show them a weakness they can exploit. It's sad that a connection, especially a close one, with parents can be so easily broken by something as silly as marijuana... but oh well, as Cat Stevens said... "...It's a wild world, it's hard to get by just upon a smile." I wish ya all the luck in the world
I move out in about a year or so... and thusfar they haven't set any rules as to the weed. What's funny is that sometimes I could be completely straight with them and tell them that I spent part of my day getting stoned. They thought I was joking and just laughed it off. Hmm, I think selling my body would be a good source of income. The more I think about it, the more I love the idea!
Try be an escort, it used to be (and still is... even though I think that the Geishas exaggerate the makeup a tad ) and extremely well respected profession in Japan
I don't think parents really understand the benefits of Marijuana. They probably don't realise that it can help to restore inner-peace of the mind (I've never taken it, this is just what I've heard) They're probably worried that you'll use it irresponsibly like the "hip-hop" generation seem to be doing at the moment. Just remind them that they were there in the 60's and the chances are that they will have smoked something at least once in their lives. My teacher when I was ten used to say "You are all going to take drugs one day." Because it's true. I agree with you that there are much worse things a girl could be doing. Peace and love xxx
i think weed should be legalized...ppl smoke it anyway too much so that's better to make it legal and not arrest and put in a jail actually innocent ppl
Their main concern was that the ol' 5-0 would catch me with it. And that I'd end up psychologically addicted to it. I've been smoking since I was 16 and have gone as long as three months without it. So obviously, there's no addiction here. As for the police... sure, the cops around here are real assholes, but I've never been dumb enough to carry anything incriminating around with me. Seriously, the pigs around here will pull you over the hell of it. They hardly ever have legit reasons. It's ridiculous... but that's besides the point. With all of the negative media hype, I can see why they're worried. I just wish they would take the word of someone who was experience with marijuana.
Make some brownies for them, that will sell them for sure. But seriously, moderation is the key. Anything can be bad for you if not done in some kind of moderation. It doesn't sound to me like you have a problem with marijuana. My mom found my stash when I was like 17. I just never brought it up again but never stopped smoking. I think the way she looked at it, out of site out of mind. It was terrible, my mom and dad grew up in the 60's but couldn't be further from a hippie. I am more of a hippie and know more about the music of their age than they do. But that is another thread, lol. Personally, I would just not tell them any more. You will be out on your own soon anyway.
Man, I'm so glad we don't have unreasonable cops (in general) and quite an objective government about drugs. Those Texan cops seem like a real pain in the ass..
some brownies with pot in them? :O maybe they'll like em so much they'll decide that not only do they let you do drugs, but they'll smoke some pot with you I've never done drugs....but if i did and my parents found out im pretty sure they'd kill me hahaha its hard to explain that its not such a bad thing. Because they were raised that way, its really hard for me to explain things to them...they can be very close minded =l its getting better lately, but if i was to smoke marijuana it wouldnt be in the house.... it would be when im older...and have my own place...and i still probably wouldn't tell my mum. or maybe i would...lol i dunno yet good luck tho! peace and love Jane
