About your marijuana use I suggest you do everything you can to convince them otherwise. It wont be easy and it wont take only one conversation to do it. But I am 25 now and my parents know Ive been smoking for years and even allowed me to grow in the backyard a few times. Im unemployed and my mom just texted me about a job and in all honesty I replied "I cant pass a drug test yet" It feels good to be honest.
If only this were always the case. I've gone out of my way to have honest, adult conversations with my mom regarding marijuana. I have printed off studies, surveys, essays and articles. I've shown her videos, documentaries, and vlogs. I have been honest and respectful in my attempts to spread a little understanding but I have gotten nowhere. Unfortunately my mom's arguments against cannabis use are not based on fact but government propaganda and religion. When faced with truth that makes her uncomfortable she ignores it. So yes, I am honest with her but I don't she will ever understand or accept it.
Took the words right out of my mouth... been burnin since I was 14 and my parents are the same way and what's worse is that my dad has a brother who is a total crackhead and has been in prison most of his life. He thinks I'm gonna end up the same way cuz weed's a gateway drug lol. I'm so glad I moved out.
So you're saying it is nice to be able to tell your mum you can't take a job because of using cannabis? I wouldn't be able to tell my mum that, she know's I smoke, but as a mum I would feel heart broken for my son to be like "Ah, nah sorry mum, can't pass a DRUG test" not just "Sorry mum, smoked recently, unfortunately can't pass it, thanks though"
It did at first. But then my unemployment ran out a few months ago. Show her in the bible where it says the god had made the herb for man and the herb was good. Im not saying it feels good to tell my mom I cant apply for a job because I smoke weed. Im saying it feels good to be honest with her and explain WHY I wont get the job if it requires a drug test. I am going monday to apply.. I told her I will, I just need clean pee. From her or someone else lol.
Does it really matter if you're living on your own? Smoking is like any other thing in my life. She knows I smoke but I live on my own and pay my own bills so if she isn't supportive of me then oh well. Luckily she doesn't care so it isn't an issue. If it was, I doubt I would try and convince her to be okay with me smoking.
Shit sucks. At least you get to grow your own shit. lol but what do you do if you tell your parent you smoke but they dont believe you?
I wouldnt be unemployed if my fuckin company knew how to spend some money to replace machines that break down constantly. If your parents dont believe you that you smoke, Show them the weed. Ive showed my parents weed before. They almost couldnt believe how much better it looks compaired to the mexican shwag from their teen years.
I came right up to my mom when I was thirteen and showed her my pipe and everything, saying I wouldn't bring it in the house or smoke anything in the house. Her being the sensible mother that she is, realized I was going to do so regardless of what she said. So there was no argument, just a civil understanding. She never really had a problem with it after that anyway, with the amount of raging alcoholic's and drug abusers in my family, she's always been fine with me blazing as long as thats all I'm doing. Even smoke with a few of my uncle's, all of my cousins and myself blaze together openly during family evens ie: Christmas/Thanksgiving we all smoke on my grandmothers steps in view of everyone. As my uncle said "A family that smokes together, stays together." and that couldn't be any truer in my opinion But honesty is the key, always.
My mom knows it helps me medically and she doesnt want me to be in pain. At first she believed all the propaganda about weed, but the more I tell her about it the more accepting she is of it. It helps that shes a social worker and has observed how her clients have had their lives ruined by hard drugs, but none of them have had their lives ruined by marijuana.
I get you man, I was in the same spot as you couple years back....I was laid off, got unemployment for a while and I got high and didn't do shit...till the unemployment stopped....it was hard to get back into the groove but had too, just like your gonna....cause no money means no weed..don't be smoking up mom's money either,.....now's the time for a T break and get a job.
i agree, but dont be stupid about it either just because your allowed to do it. i got in alotta trouble for that reason when i was younger
My parents found out I smoked weed but then I threw these in their faces: BAM. 900+ pages about the plants biology, economics, politics, etc. They were like =_ = "Don't get caught." And I was all:
haven't we all, i mean its free drugz right? but that doesn't mean it was right either. and if they smoke and dont share it with you that doesn't give you the right to steal their stash, always better to ask
Im 25. I know how to pass a drug test, and water has very little to do with it actually. Its more about excersize(sp?) and burning fat.
