Alright so I live with my parents and I decided to be a dumb ass that day and smoked a joint in my house, but it didn't ventilate out of the window and my whole house reeked in smoke. I told my parents I burned incense and for some reason it smelled like smoke. So they didn't pay much attention to it. The next day my mom started asking me what I was smoking and I just decided to tell her it's weed just to get it over with since I always wanted to tell them. They printed out a stack of anti-marijuana papers saying complete bullshit such as "it destroys your body", "it causes you to have unwanted sexual contact", "it ruins your life." Then my mom started telling me how weed kills you and makes you stupid. She told me it destroys your organs along with your heart, she said I'll have heart problems for the rest of my life, and my lungs are going to get destroyed. Also apparently the smoke kills your brain cells so now I'm losing brain cells. And she thinks weed is the reason I have high blood pressure. Now every time they leave the house and come back they think I'm smoking weed and get all paranoid. She then called me a druggy and said I was a drug addict and people who stop succeed in life, and people who don't destroy their lives. Then my dad started telling me how if I get caught I'm going to go to jail or be put on probation and completely have my life ruined.
so print out a bunch of stuff that is pro-marijuana? Granny has a bunch of links that you could throw at them
damn bro thats some fucked up shit im glad my mom is cool with it.. even tokes herself every now and then
Oh yea and then they said the people who murder people and attack them and shit probably do that because they smoke weed. I couldn't even reply to any of the bullshit they said because I was so shocked at their stupidity and ignorance, I didn't know my parents were that mislead by everything

It is so tempting sometimes, but everyone should know that its never worth it. Like half of these i got caught threads are from people smoking inside. OP you should print out some studies for them and just spread them around the house or put them on their bed/nightstand where they will find them and be able to read them without you watching over their back while they do so. Their ego might make them not want to read it if your directly in their presence confronting them. And that could lead to an argument.
That's really funny. These days you rarely ever hear of parents that are that deep into the reefer madness. Most of the time it's just the "it makes you lazy and you'll go nowhere" which really is a prefectly reasonable worry for a young kid. But if you're 18 as you say it's a bit ridiculous
Some parents don't care if your 18 or not, to them your still their little guy. On the other hand my friend got thrown out as he hit 18, just because he hit 18...
dude sit ur mom and dad down and let them know that the craziness of the way they are treating u and talking to u about weed isn't helping at all.. tell them that your fine with listening to theyre side of the argument as long as they hear you out as well and then sit them down and have them read what that one dude commented with all those links.. whenever they say "weed makes u have unwanted sex" (lol) then go to google and search that shit with them and be like lets find this shit come on. worst mistake ever to smoke in the house man but I'm not gonna bust ur balls because I have too.. but a joint? that was kinda stupid.. it just burns constantly and makes the whole place smell. I wouldn't smoke in the house anymore and if u are going to then go make a sploof! I know how u feel OP.. I told my dad about smoking and he said "once you smoke weed you can't have sex without being high" which was crazy talk and I was bangin my gf at the time and he knew it so it was just nonsense coming out of his mouth and he was just trying to make weed appear bad to me. ur parents are idiots and so are a lot of other parents.. It happens and all u can do is nod and agree and keep ur own personal life... well.. PERSONAL
Whatever you do don't give up on them. When I first got caught in high school my mum was all reefer madness. After about 3 years of educating her she's made the transition from "Reefer madness nutcase" to not liking it but realizing it's no big deal. I don't know what your parents are like, but you MAY be able to actually get through to them. I never thought I'd be able to but I seem to have.
