Got Caught.... Again

Well I just sat down with my mom and told her I wasn't going to quit smoking marijuana when I lived at home, she was disappointed but also ignorant. I told her that we have cannabinoid receptors in our brains that latch on to cannabinoids and she laughed in my face and said "yeah, like tobacco right?". Ignorance.

 

If they both smoke, I'd betcha my last dollar they've seen 'The Union'

You ain't gonna be telling them nothing they don't know. They just don't want ya smokin til ya got your life together, I'm sure. I was the same way...smoke with both my kids now but didn't allow it til they turned 18

 

Whatever you say, Kiddo

You know it all except how to not get caught by parents who don't know as much as you, right? AGAIN, as you said in your original post

 

^your quote from your op...you weren't there? You mean you left your coat out there for her to raid?

I am giving you advice...if they dont want ya smokin in their house, at least be smart enough not to get caught. If ya don't like it, move out.

You posted this in a public form and anybody can come in here who wants to and not everyone is going to tell you what you want to hear...so sorry

 

Maybe it's not your knowledge of pot they're worried about, but your knowledge of math. What do your grades look like?

Most of the time parents will overlook some partying if you've got straight As and a scholarship to a competitive college.

But, being parents, they don't want to view their child as an "underachiever" and so if your grades aren't so good, they're going to want something to blame. That's where marijuana enters the picture.

Seriously, it only takes 1 report card to turn their minds around, and you've got 4 months before the semester is over, plenty of time to get straight As.

 

Even if we were to pretend for a moment that you're not a little kid, there's no denying that you act like one--and that's why your mommy and daddy treat you like one. Really couldn't solve that one on your own, Sherlock?

When you grow up and move out, you won't have to worry about the rules of their house anymore. And if you ever have kids, you're not going to let them call the shots in your house, either.

There are only two types of people that need to ask a weed forum how to deal with mommy & daddy when they get spanked: little kids and big losers. Neither of which would be able to send their parents back to the drawing board on raising children by showing them The Union.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled kiddie tantrum...

 

You weren't asking for help. You were whining & shitting on people that didn't say what you wanted to hear... on a public forum.

And if you look really hard, my reply contained everything you need to know:

- Their house, their rules.

- The Union doesn't change that.

Unless your parents are weak-minded imbeciles, what did you hope to learn here that would trick them into not being who they are? It doesn't even matter if they're right or wrong, as it doesn't change their position in the food chain.

If you can't simply do it and not get caught (which isn't exactly rocket science), you shouldn't be doing it. If they're catching that easily, more than once, you're probably going to find out the hard way that cops, like parents, aren't going to un-cuff you if you show them The Union.

It's also a matter of respect. Your parents don't have to respect their kid's wish to do illegal drugs, but you should be respecting them if you want to live under their roof. If you don't want to, fine--move out. If you can't move out, you're not in a position to argue.

That's not even just for parents. I don't get why people insist on breaking the rules in ANY house that isn't their own, when no one is forcing you to be there in the first place.

All of this is just common sense.

I'll also throw in something about The Union, since people mention it a lot. The Union doesn't say that pot is legal and that's all some people care about. Getting a ticket for doing 1 mph over the speed limit is ridiculous too, but it's still illegal.

The Union doesn't change the fact that many parents will see bringing weed into their house as being just as illegal as turning their garage into a chop shop. And at the end of the day... that's all that really matters.

Convincing someone that pot should be legal doesn't change the consequences of getting caught with it. So, if they already caught you twice, I guarantee you that they know it's just a matter of time before the police do as well. And when they do, your parents aren't going to say they were okay with you doing it.

 

You guys bashing this guy are kinda being ignorant. We all know that weed is harmless, for people over 18. If the OP is smart enough to prove to his parents thats hes responsibly enough to handle smoking weed, then there shouldn't be a problem.

In this situation your parents just seem ignorant on most of the subject, if you were to watch the union with them that might work, but some people wont change. But if they are worried about you getting caught by the cops, you should respect them for that, thats more caring then punishing.

I don't always like people that are ignorant, thats why i would hate for my parents to be ignorant because i do love them. Thats why i try to educate people on whats really true, especially about marijuana. Everyone should do the same.

EDIT: You live in canada right? So cops shouldn't be a huge problem because they are more lenient?

 

The ones who are saying I can't believe how you can live in someone's house and break their rules. These people are the ones who have done that in the past.
Dont worry OP. Although, I don't think trying to convince your parents with A movie is a good idea. They are gonna think you are obsessing over it.
Do what you said and get good grades so you can prove to them that it will not affect your education.
Also, if theres any truth to it. Tell them that you have no desire to experiment with other drugs. Keep your head up.

 

I would pick a different movie than that. I'm (obviously) pro-legalization but there is a lot of questionable propoganda in that movie much like the argument for prohibition. You get mad when anti-drug commercials say ridiculous things, and likewise your parents won't listen to you if you say ridiculous things like are said in that movie. I agree with most of the stuff in the movie, but honestly, they take it to the opposite extreme of the anti-drug commercials.
You need a more balanced argument that shows both sides of the debate and why your side is right.
I know if I showed that movie to my parents it would just make them dislike marijuana even more

Anyway, best of luck

 

Thats exactly what The Union does. Maybe you should watch it a few more times.

EDIT: As a matter of fact, The Union is a completely unbiased movie. It shows both arguments. It just so happens that the legalization argument is the stronger argument. There's no question.

 

This is incorrect.

When I lived with my parents at no time did I ever use marijuana in their house or on their property. I did not even bring it on their property.

Now, maybe it was easier for me because I didn't start until my sophomore year of college, and I know many of you began in high school, but the fact remains I respected my parents' rules.

Yes, this could make summertime and Christmas break a pain, but it also motivated me to get my own apartment ASAP.

I just cannot explain how disrespectful storing an illegal substance at another person's house without their consent is. If the police get involved, for *whatever* reason, the property owner/lessee can be held responsible for anything found on the premises. This means that by using marijuana in your parent's house you are putting them in real legal jeopardy.

I am among the first to argue that marijuana should be legal. But at present it is not. One of the most powerful arguments in favor of legalization is that your use "does no harm to others". This is something you need to live by as part of responsible marijuana use, and something you are not living by when you keep your stash at a home other than your own without the consent of the property owner/lessee.
