How do you deal with them? I've been smoking weed since last october, I've given up smoking cigarettes and I don't drink alcohol other than maybe once every few months at most. Last year I was very aggressive and constantly in arguments with both my parents, from august onwards that started to die down, and after I started smoking weed, the amount of arguments I had with my parents went down to almost 0. It has definitely, without a doubt, helped me learn a lot about life, and shown me that no matter how troubled times get, the world is a beautiful place. My problem lies with attitudes to this plant. My dad was a hippie when he was younger, and he helped me roll my first few joints, taught me the first things I found out about weed, acid, mushrooms, etc. He doesn't mind if I smoke it, and he's even happy to give me money to buy it. My mum on the other hand is completely against it. She reads the Daily Mail and sees reports about "Cannabis psychosis", and the "Dangers of skunk", and believes them word for word. I actually remember a time when she quoted an article and said "They inject THC into the plants to make them stronger and give you brain damage". :rofl: Now don't get me wrong. I think everyone should respect their parents. If my parents don't want me to smoke til I'm 18 or whatever, I'm happy with that - but what I can't get around is my mum's attitude to it. She thinks it's the most disgusting thing on the planet. I think it's one of the most beautiful things on the planet, so it upsets me to even hear people say things like that. My problem is I don't like being dishonest. I've hidden my smoking from her before and things were great, but I'm not a dishonest person. Last night I was high and she asked if I smoked, so I was honest and told her that I did and I've been smoking for the past year. So, what can I do eh? I've tried to tell her the facts, she just insists "Just because you think they're facts doesn't make it true. I've seen the people who use it on TV, they're all violent criminals" -Matt
There will always be people out there who will refuse to believe the facts BUT because she is your mother, you should stop untill you're 18 and moved out. If you don't want to lie, then don't, just be truthful and stop. You could always use the line "Well mom... all those articles do say marijuana makes your children liars whom will resent you and become violent criminals, but since when have I commited an actual crime? Did I lie to you when you asked if I smoked? Nope."
grow up. get your own house. problem solved. until then, quit whining on an e-forum about mommy and daddy's unfair rules.
My mom is the same way! Some things are better to keep as a secret! It causes less problems and u know as well as the rest of us that Marijuana isnt bad!!!!!
Weed in the UK is diffrent then the states. I hear people talk about "skunk" and it's effects are not like anything I've seen in America. Your putting too chemicals on it, and it's affecting the bud.
Skunk weed is just really good weed. People in Britain normally get shitty weed or soapbar, then they get diggity dank and are like woah! C'mon chemicals in weed? Is your weed laced man? You're falling into that trap.
That's bull shit. Skunk is just one sativa strain. Basically what happened is the Daily Mail interviewed some kid who preferred sleepier indica strains, and he got some racey sativa and felt paranoid. They turned that into "Skunk is a new type of weed that gives you paranoid schizophrenia" -Matt
