Hello. So I'm 18, a senior in high school, and my parents just found my weed and my bowl. Yeah, I know there's already a thread for this but I really need a reply. My mom is this ultra-religious-conservative type person. Probably would call weed the "devils lettuce". But my dad is someone who is pro-marijuana-legalization, and said a few years ago if I wanted to "experiment with marijuana" that it was fine. Fast forward past all of the story, bottom line they found my weed in my room, I knew it was missing, and they called me in to talk. Well we were talking and they were telling me about the "insane" risks I've taken to have it. They kept saying how it was illegal, and I was like "I know...". They were telling me that because I had it in the car while we drove to meet family, and that I've had to leave the house to actually acquire it, that if I were to get caught, that it would ruin my entire life. That I could get kicked out of school or extra-curricular activities, have a non-clean record and it would be extremely hard to get into college and get a job. Which is true to some extent...but really? Am I taking that much of a risk? Please help me here. First of all I doubt a cop is going to send drug dogs inside a family's car. Maybe to a teenager alone in the car. Plus I don't really have smoking friends, I don't go "out" to smoke and I don't even dare to drive while high. Anyone else have anything to add to my rebuttal?
Charleston SC!!! What part are you from btw. I'm from north charleston! Anyway, just tell them that you will stop. But don't. Since your pops is cool with it, talk to him about it and maybe he will talk to your moms or some shit to ease pressure off your back
It sounds like you received mixed messages. Speak to your father alone and see if he still remembers his previous talk about you. He may be able to calm your mother down a little if he takes some of the heat. After that, you will probably need to call in a long T-Break until you are out of their home. Think of it like a future incentive. Peace.
they arent wrong or anything, just looking out for your best interest. honestly i never under any circumstance drove with weed unless it was to pick up, but dont take the chance. for your own sake
Yo while on your parents home just respect their wishes man. In all honesty you control you future so weed has no role in that.
Just be smart and dont take stupid chances. As far as your parents go, be respectful and voice your opinion. If its something you arent going to give up then back yourself up with knowledge so when the talk comes up again you can defend your beliefs and trust me it will come up again.
basically youre luckier than me, if my parents found weed id get kicked out. just be subtle about it and dont show any signs unless you plan on telling them youre not stopping.
My friend got busted with my weed and a friends in his car, he would have been in a shit load of trouble but we all went to the police station for an interview and to prove that the weed is shared. I got a five year good behaviour bond but he is going to court. Nothing went on my record and im underage, parents are still unaware but thats Australia im not sure what its like in another country or if you get lucky like i did.
Thanks. I forgot to add that my father said that he misspoke and something like it wouldn't be as much of a problem compared to something like meth or heroin. Well no shit! But oh well. I am probably going to take a break from it anyways. The only thing is they are keeping me inside the house "until further notice" which kinda blows because I have exams all throughout the next two weeks and the only thing I had to look forward to was hanging out with friends.. I'm from the pleasant side of town
