I've fallen in love with MJ, now what to do?

    Well, I have always enjoyed the herb of love, but recently I have fallen in love with it. Everyone deals with lows in their life, and whether it's karma or not it's something we all must go through. Recently I was a victim of this and have felt the immense pain of depression, along with my once confident self cowering to a very insecure individual. I stopped smoking for two weeks about a month ago because I was becoming very paranoid and would be uncomfortably insecure while high. I decided that a small break was well enough and began to toke up again. It has helped me so much over the past few weeks, and I haven't stopped smoking since I started again. Now don't get me wrong, before I took the two week break I was smoking a few times a week but never as much, or with as much passion as now. I don't care about anyones opinions, I have found a spine to hold me up, a rail to hold onto, and a refuge to shelter me. Mary Jane has framed my thoughts, and loosened the bolts to which chained my confidence down.

    I am just so happy that I have found a passion in MJ that I did not see before. It is constantly, day-by-day, working it's magic on my emotional mess. And I am so absolutely greatful for this.

    My dilema is that my parents do not support my love. I have three options,

    1) Tell my parents I smoke, and do not plan on stopping. The consequence will be that I will have to begin paying for all of my things (I am 18, but still in highschool).
    2) Stop smoking. (only for a month, long enough to get a clean UA)
    3) Hide it as best I can, and continue on.

    I cannot decide the most profitable for my situation. At this point I don't feel like stopping, because I feel such great comfort and progress which I have made in my emotional mess. My parents would not understand what MJ has been doing for me, and they will ALWAYS use the one single fact that always puts a negative overtone on marijuana and that is it's ILLEGAL.

    Grass City, what shall I do?!

    Hiding that shit isn't that hard.

    the consequence of being caught would be losing respect from my parents, and they will no longer pay for anything (such as car insurance, gas, clothes, unecessities)... I have it pretty good right now, not going to lie. My parents spend a lot of money on me, but the pleasure of that could easily be cut-off forcing me to have to get a job, which would take up a lot of my already small free time.

    Shit, I was in that situation since I was 16. I'm moving out in a couple months, they still don't know.

    The only way I can imagine begin caught is them making me take a random UA. My dad watches me take them so I can't cheat. Otherwise, I wouldn't ever get caught, at least I believe so.

    You have to take UA tests? That sucks.

    Personally, I wouldn't use marijuana as a substance to cope with the hard times in life...that could just lead to bad things. Use it as a recreational fun in your free time.

    Find a job, don't say anything about smoking, you've obviously made it this far without them knowing. Once you are getting the cash you need to support yourself you can chance telling them your decision. They will be more likely to approve if you managed to get a job and are capable of supporting yourself. I wouldn't suggest hiding it for too long.

    When I lived with parents, I just didn't smoke during the week and kept my stuff out of site. My parents were fine with it as long as I kept my grades up and wasn't stoned all the time.

    but didnt you just say that if you told them you would have to pay for your own things anyway? when they find out, if they do, and they might not...
    you can humbly explain everything to them, you can even prepare a letter or some material they can read about mj. Tell them you are trying to explain the situation and if they dont want to open their minds to the truth about mj, then they are not helping you in any way. saying things like you really didnt want to hide it but you knew this would happen, and you know its illegal but try to explain the sitauation there right now with the legalization ect. show that you are just a stupid kid smoking and bringing an illegal substance into their house, that you researched it, you are responsible with it, and mainly, stress how much it is changing your life for the better.

    also a very good idea

    That's for you, but MJ is something that makes my life better because I enjoy myself more. While I'm stoned, and after I'm stoned because you can't argure that after you smoke bud you feel pretty relaxed for the rest of the day.

    i say tell them, and get a job who knows they might respect you for it and they'll prolly come around faster than if you just hide it from them

    you are obviously grateful for what they give you. if i were you, i would stop smoking for a month. i wouldnt tell them, because you said they wouldnt understand. and hiding ur shit would not be worth it if you got caught.

    Naw it helps people very well actually. I struggled with depression in my younger years ( not chemical inbalance just very unhappy with how things were going) and weed always gave me the mood lift, always helped me see things a dif way. It really helped me to have confidence in myself again and helped me remember how intelligent I am and that my potential is limitless. Yea weed always reminds of that :) thanks mary jane!

    To OP well just dont quit. You got room and board, your parents taking care of you if ya gotta work some crap job then at least work where theres no drug tests. Not sure what UA is. Anyway you can find a stash spot dude that should be a problem if you really look around your room for awhile. Things with false bottoms, removing floor boards or behind heating ducts are all pretty tight ways to hide things but of course there are easier options.....just look around!

    Hey, I understand what you're going through with your parents. Mine still don't know, and one day I plan to sit them down, open up all these documents, and force the truth in their head. Better yet, print all these out and highlight the key stuff. Put it in a binder or something and sit down at a table and give it to your parents, make them read it on the spot, and discuss whatever you need to until you are confident they know it's not bad for yuo and will let you occassionally do it. If they want, tell them you wont keep anything in the house, smoke in the house, or whatever until you compromised enough that they are happy with you.
