Hey all, i've been lurking the forums for a while and just decided to become a member today (I don't know why I hadn't until now). So, a little about myself. I'm 20 years old from Los Angeles and I attend UCLA and am about to start my junior year as Bio major with pre-dental emphasis. Growing up, I was in a pretty strict household with very non-traditional and conservative parents. Until I was in high school I was always locked up at home and wasn't really able to go out with friends and had to beg to go to my friends houses. When I was in high school, they started to become more a little bit more chill but always would monitor where I would go out all the way up to my junior year. By my senior year they had pretty much loosed up because I got accepted into UCLA and were pretty proud. In high school I was one of those kids who wasn't really against marijuana, but didn't really want to try it because you can say I was kind of scared and didn't know what to expect. When I started my freshman year of college, I moved out to around school and would go home usually every 2 weeks. During the duration of this year, I had a lot of anxiety and was always scared of my exams and also would be very scared during my exams. I had like 3 panic attacks throughout the entire year because I would be constantly worried about my grades (which weren't even all that bad looking back at it). During this year I decided to try weed, just for recreational use and had a pretty bad experience because me and my friend almost got caught by campus security being dumb . And then another time I tried it again and got very paranoid, so I didn't do it again for a long while. About halfway through my second year, I decided to try it again and this time I had a totally different result. I had made friends with a couple stony people which were really really smart guys, who would just have sessions every night after doing homework. So I got into this phase of smoking three times a week recreationally after doing my homework, which would usually be after 11 o'clock. I would head to my buddies place, have a sesh with his RooR and Volcano, and call it a night by 12:30, head back to my apartment and pass out heavily medicated . After about two months of smoking 2-3 times a week, I realized I had become such a relaxed person, my grades went up even better than they were before because I would just head into the exam room very calm, no deep breathing and getting sweaty. I would never ever smoke during the day, always the same night sessions. About two and a half months from originally starting, my moms friends son had got caught taking massive loads of pills, so one Saturday morning she decided to test me and my two brothers (16 and 18). I was the only one who came out positive and after this day all hell broke loose, like I was on heroin and I was an addicted fiend. My dad got very disappointed in me and they just didn't talk to me in the same proud way anymore. I had totally become a different child, even though my entire life I had respected everything they had told me to do and I was already in my second year at a prestigious university. I had tried everything to explain to them that it was not anything addicting and that it had actually helped me become more focused and calm. But they did not believe me and though that I was addicted and I was just trying to lie to them to get out of this entire fiasco. But they've drug tested me about three times after the first time I got caught and i've been clean because I don't want to go through all that trouble again. Plus, they said if I get caught again they will stop paying for my apartment and my tuition. Now i'm here, three months later sharing my story with you guys. I don't know why I still haven't let go for my love of herb. It made me such great changes in my life and it would just be a great feeling to chill with my friends and just relax. I just wish I could be more free since i'm in college, handling my business, plus i'm moved out. I come home once every 2 weeks still and they always still ask me if i'm smoking and stuff. I know that they care, but i just wish they understood and would just sit down with me and light up a J . PS. I tried spice a couple times, which worked, but I couldn't take the taste of that bullshit and it's really bad for you so I decided to never do it again. So, there's the end of my rant and I hope to one day start smoking again. Plus it's summer and I have no summer school, just working in a research lab at UCLA's dental school and i'm bored as hell some nights just wishing I could light one up. Peace & Pot
Dude your parents are fucked up. Stop paying for everything because of an herb? Pretty ridiculous shit considering how well you're doing.
im fresh outa highschool and in the same situation. Parents are paying for college (not in college yet tho just chillin at home till end of summer). If i get caught again they take all the money away. Fucked because i have worked so hard in highschool and what not. Honestly they probly woudnt actually folow through with it but idk you know your parents better than me so if you think they would then shit do what you gotta do and finish college then smoke it up. Thatd be the smart thing to do.
hey man your parents are kind of blind to the real reality of marijuana haha i suggest you dont let them drug test you like that... because your at the age where you should have the control over what you do.. but man your a smart person from what i can tell you should definitely continue smoking..
If he denies a DT tho im sure his parents woudnt like that too much. I do agree he shoudnt be obligated to take one at 18 tho.
People laughed at me and called me weird when I did this, but it saved my fucking life: STORE CLEAN URINE.
They make me keep the door open while i'm turned around. This is how bad it is. Trust me, I would have figured something out after getting tested the first time lol
This is a very hypocritical move towards your parents. They were once 20 years old, and i highly doubt that they did not experiment with any sort of drugs and/or alcohol.
So your parents had no idea that you smoked and they randomly drug test you? Then they practically watch you piss in a cup...I'm sorry but thats a little extreme.
It's wouldn't be easy for me to get a job with a full time schedule of classes and volunteering at my research lab
Your parents are too smart to do something like that. Your parents are just like mine. Heres what you have to do, and it will take courage.... Smoke, and on your next drug test, you'll come up positive. This will totally mindfuck them, their little obedient boy becoming a rebel. This will now force them to confront the issue in a DIFFERENT way. Some conservative parents (my parents) are scared of marijuana b/c they've never heard of it and won't even consider accepting it b/c its a drug and they would feel horrible if they tolerated your drug use and it ruined your life. So basically, you'll have to make them overcome that fear and force them to open up their minds to the herb. Show them documentaries, medical articals etc. Thats your best chance. And don't be scared of them refusing to pay for college and your apartment. No one is that stupid, why would they ruin your education for you lol just bring that up in case, that they would be the ones ruining your life, not the herb
Headshop, buy some fake piss, gooch the container, flip ur dick out, slowly ease the nozzle of the bottle out, begin pouring "your urine" out and pass that mother fucker. After complete light one up. Mission complete.
i had parents like yours except i got caught my freshman year of highschool AND THEY CALLED THE COPS ON ME. they made my life a living hell for 4 years. at 17 i moved out with my girl and have cut all connections with my crazy bible thumping redneck family. i havent called/visited/had any contact with them in 6 years and im much happier now.
Also there are Drinks that yu can order online at head shops..u ad 20 oz of water and drink it on your way home..stop once to piss b4 u get there and ur golden! But that gets pretty expensive..I was on probation when I was a teen..and he'd watch me piss..all I would do is drink a gallon of water in 4 hours..piss a few times until it was crystal clear like water..drink a few more 20 ozs just for security and when they pop yu with a test you'll piss just straight water..and what I always said to my P.O is that I was working out all the time now insted of smoking reefer..good luck bro!!
Thanks for the info guys, i'll try to see what I can do. Tonight is one of those nights where I just want to be baked out of my mind and just enjoy the rest of my evening...I hate this.
