So it finally happened...

[danwasbored]

So my parents finally know that I smoke pot. I'll share my story with you guys because I think it's interesting and I can always use some advice.

So anyway, this morning I toked up in my room using my dugout, before I left for school. Now, usually I keep all my shit in this little lunch box in one of my drawers, but after I toked up, I decided to hide my dugout between a stack of magazines because it was more convienent.

So I go to school and come home. Well, I'm upstairs making myself something to eat when my dad comes up from the basement and asks me if I can explain the items in my room. At that moment, I had a pretty good idea that I was fucked. I asked him what he meant and he started describing the bag that I keep all my shit in, so since I naturally knew that I was fucked and there was no way I could deny my way out, I just told him that yeah, I had some stuff in a bag and that yeah, I smoke pot.

My mom comes up and now they're asking me all kinds of questions. I just calmly sit down and explain to them everything they want to know because I know that there's no way I'm getting out of this and I feel guilty for not telling them in the first place. I thought it was pretty funny because now, after so much time, they finally put all these things together. They start asking me if that's what I do when I go over to so-and-so's house and I just tell them the truth.

Anyway, turns out, they're pretty disappointed in me. My dad doesn't see why I do it. I told him it's because I like to do it, it's fun, and it's relaxing. My dad just doesn't want me to fuck up my life. My parents asked me if I knew what happens when I get caught and I told them that yeah, I know that I could serve some jail time, etc. They asked me if I knew what it does to my health and I told them, yeah, short-term memory loss and it hurts my lungs, but that's about it. My dad has the idea that it's this huge mind addicting drug and I'm going to become an addict and go onto harder drugs. Sure, that's happened to some people, but I know it's not going to happen to me. I explained this to them and that I've been offered a lot of drugs before and I've declined them every time.

I knew they had an idea for a while. I always did assignments in school about marijuana. I always came home high off my ass. But I never actually thought they would catch me. I was actually pretty impressed that they found it. I never thought it would happen. I've been smoking in my room and hiding all my shit there for almost three years now.

I'm not even that mad. I'm actually kind of relieved. I felt guilty for lying to them and I knew that eventually I would have to tell them. Also, I think they thought I was doing harder drugs because they kept asking me if this was all the drugs that I had, if I needed some counseling, if I need to go to rehab, etc. I told them no, I just stick to the green. I don't need counseling or rehab. I'm not addicted. I can quit at anytime. I didn't smoke once this summer.

Anyway, they took all my shit, except for my dugout that I hid this morning. Kind of sucks considering that they took my whole stoner kit: I just got a new glass bowl, with a sweet case for it, had a jar with a pretty nice nug in it that I was gonna smoke tonight (i smoked all my beatiful nugs this weekend), a grinder, a metal pipe, a few zig zag packs, and some eye drops, but it's all good.

Anyway, do you think I handled the situation ok? I knew where they were coming from because if I had a son I'd be pretty pissed off too, with him doing drugs in my house and lying to my face about it. But I guess I see both perspectives, so I'm a lot more understanding. The son just didn't want to tell them because he knew they would be disappointed and just wouldn't understand. And that's exactly it. My parents just don't understand why I do it.

I told my dad that I'm not addicted, that I can quit when I want to. He said that I'm right, that it is my choice, but he doesn't want it in his house. That if I go off to college, it's fine, I can do it all I want, but when I end up in jail, he's not coming to bail me out. But that he cares about me, otherwise, they would have never said anything.

So actually, I feel like I won. I lost a lot of shit, true, but I just told my parents that I smoked pot. They finally know. Yes, that was a shitty way to tell them, but it was either that or never. I think from now on, I'll just try to slowly convince them to let me do it. Like when I go to a party, instead of lying about where I'm going, I'll just tell them straight up that I'm going to a party. It will probably never work, but fuck it, I can try...(plus I still have my dugout, haha, bitches)

Oh, and I have to come up with a punishment for myself. They wanted to take away my car for a while, "because then I wouldn't be out buying pot" but I kindly explained to them that that wouldn't do any good since if I really wanted to, I could just get it right at school.

no jacking off for a week young man.

hahahaha

use that one, then they will know you whack it too and totally forget about the pot because they will be too disgusted to remember.

one question tho, how come you didnt just smoke in your car on the way too school?

[danwasbored]

for three reasons:

1) i'm not bringing shit to school or keeping it in my car. cops come at least twice a month for random drug searches. im not getting expelled. i already have enough shit on my record.

2) i can't roll joints. i've tried to learn, but im just too lazy when i can just pack a bowl and smoke it.

3) i could always drop off my piece somewhere off school property. i did that one year. my shit got jacked. there are only so many hiding spots and eventually somebody catches on.

[sCaKmY]

theres solutions to all those

1) park off school grounds, i used to, it took me a couple extra minutes to walk across the parking lot and i didnt have to worry about searches and all that. Im sure theres a neighborhood or somthing nearby where you can park.

2) get a joint roller or pack a bowl and smoke it in the car, why cant you smoke a bowl in the car?


but yea, I agree leaving the shit is a bad idea, Ive never done it.

[I Taken I]

Lol id tell my dad to give me my shit back.

[peacetoker90]

man, uber x30303 +rep to you, i could never do that with my mom, i would be grounded FOR LIFE!!! even if i move out of her house

[seconds]

Good job on telling the truth. The first 2 times I got rolled I just said it was a friends, but said I would never ever say their name so give up.

My parents know I smoke regularly. They try very hard to keep me from doing it (private school, military school, drug tests) but none have worked. They still havent given up their efforts. Oh well.

But a punishment for yourself... how about "grounded for a weekend"? Just get some nug onFriday so you can burn all weekend while you are grounded.

[Krystian!!!]

it feels alot better afterwards doesnt it, i got busted but im so much more relaxed about it now, it sucks for about a week then everything is back to normal...i still need to buy a new piece form when i was busted.

[jeffro34]

awsome man thats great.....i myself have been trying to convince my parents to let me smoke. but shit i was gonna say something but someone just sent me an instant message and i forgot what i was gonna say lol..... im high.......

[danwasbored]

it felt good afterwards, yes, because i didn't have to lie anymore about something that i love.

but then it just got out of control. we're still talking about it, but nothing is getting solved because we're all being stubborn. they told me that i will not smoke while i live with them. basically, i told them that thats not gonna happen. i respect that they're looking out for my own well being, but i can make decisions for myself and i love weed and im not giving it up. my dad is trying to tell me that because something is illegal, its wrong. i told him true, but not really since its a victimless crime, such as speeding.

boom muthafuckas! i have to say, i'm fighting back pretty well. everything they threw at me, i threw right back. i mean, i'm pretty sure i'm going to lose, but it's gonna be a damn good fight.

the only thing that i cant really defend is the illegal part of it. they dont want me to do it because i could end up in jail, but i've been smoking for three years and i haven't even came close to being busted. there's always that chance, but it's a risk i'm willing to take.

the one thing that i would recommend to anybody who still lives with their parents (cough*highschoolseniors*cough) and/or is trying to convince them to let you smoke, read your shit. you need to know everything about cannabis. you need to point them to websites, facts, etc. the more knowledge you have on the subject, the better the chance for winning the debate.

Hum. When I was underage, my father caught me once. He made my life a living hell. Luckily, I am not underage any more and I don't live with him any more.. In which case, my mother is so cool about it me and her talk about it openly. She knows I am going to speak at some legalisation rallies and she wants to help me when I go to school and my sister and I open our shop.

It's good that you told your parents though. I can tell you are underage, and I am not one to judge.. Just be careful and smoke regularly still. What you are doing is not harming anyone.

My advice, Keep your grades up! Do your homework every day and get as many A's as possible. Don't give them any reason to blame weed on anything.. Such as poor grades. They will get over it. Parents do talk in their bedroom about more than sex.

HAHAHA lol, nice, .... hmm kind of funny my parents found out when i was in the 8th grade... but whats the worst that could happen eh?

[BonerStoner]

you have some balls my friend

[fruitytoot]

yeah my parents found out after they picked me up from the police station.. they asked me probably everything they asked you.. "who do you do it with" "what else do you do" "what the hell are you thinking" hahaha. yeah dude same situation. except the cops showed them my 1/4 ounce and 14" bong. hehe. fuckign fags. i got my license taken away for like 2 monthes. just let em' know you're gonna do it becuhz its your choice, and that you won't do anything else. i told them " well what the hell, was i just supposed to come home one day and tell you guys i did it, its not like i could have just told you guys" anyways good luck

[danwasbored]

Yeah I told them the reason that I lied to them was because I knew they wouldn't understand.

The one thing they said that made me so furious was they told me that if they catch me next time, they might call the cops. Call the cops?! I don't think I could ever call the cops on my own son/daughter, my own flesh and blood.
