Parents Caught Me.

1. Don't smoke if you're going home. Just vape. It's still their house and it isn't worth the hassle.
2. Honestly, if your parents are as brainwashed/ignorant as mine, no amount of sound science is going to convince them that cannabis is a-okay. They're going to think what they want to think, and they are going to be too proud to go back on what they've already said. Sitting them down to watch The Union just doesn't normally work. When I tried a similar approach, my parents said "I don't care if it's good for you, and I don't care if the US gov't is corrupt. It's illegal and I won't have you smoking pot."
3. In conclusion, you can't change people, and in your current living situation, mom and dad are God. Yes they're probably wrong, but you're probably going to have to move out before you can act freely and be treated with respect.

 

I know you love your parents but if they would leave you homeless over weed than they are not good parents. I smoke weed my parents are 120% against it. One time my dad said gtfo of the house, i replied "ok its your house" but he stopped me before i left cause at the end of the day he would never leave a bit of himself homeless on the streets.

 

Well you're lucky my dad threw away all of my weed then threw my glass Bong on the ground and he made me clean it even worse, he said if he catches me smoking again he's gonna be a dochebag and narc on me. Then he kicked me out for 3 days just got home today. So you got it pretty easy but my parents don't Listen like yours. If I were you I would just move out because that's what I'm doing. There's got to be some relatives that don't mind. I'm moving in with my grandma, she was a dealer once.

 

 
I realize you are being sarcastic, but people who say this clearly have no understanding of what causes cancer. That is, if they meant from a carcinogenic perspective.

 

Ya man no need to move out, the at home tests are very easy to cheat. Just keep blazing just not in their jouse

 

Your parents know and understand more than you think. They probably did it in the past, they just can't say it cool for there child to take a path that has the potential to get way worse with harder shit. Think about it. They put all this time and love raising you and don't want to see harm come your way.
Grow up, move out and do good.

 

OK, lets do this again!  (When are you guys going to get your OWN copy of my LIst?     All it takes is sending me an email- bottom of my sig)

Granny 

 

I find it weird that people who smoke pot and would like others to be more tolerant of their views on pot are, on the same hand, intolerant of other people who are anti-weed.
 
My parents caught me once in highschool.  And instead of thinking they were ignorant and stupid, I just felt really really bad that I disappointed them. They were going to drug test me at the hospital but I fessed up first.  My dad is a doctor, we lived in a small town, and I will not let him be embarrassed in front of his coworkers....I respect the guy too much for putting a roof over my head, food on the table, pushing me to get a good education, teaching me how to be a good man.  My dad was an immigrant, he had his medical degree over from his home country and decided to move to the US to give his family the best life he could.  My older sis was 3 at the time, I wasn't born yet.  He could've been earning a really nice paycheck but instead he moved to the US, didn't speak the language, redid his residency in the states....so he was living in NYC making 30k, working about 80-100 hours a week, with a wife, a 3 year old, and soon after I was born.  They sacrificed EVERYTHING for me and my sis.
 
So what?  They have a different opinion on weed than I do.  Not a big deal.  We have differing opinions on a lot of things.  But no matter what I try to never forget how much they have done for me.
 
When you guys here get to the age where you have kids, I think you'll understand them a lot better and you'll begin to realize how much they sacrificed and did for you.  (of course there are also some really awful parents as well, but I think most of them just want their kids to have a good life and be a good person.)

 

Most parents are just concerned about their children, pot might not be harmful, but if you got caught by the police. That job and that college are gone. 

 

Hahahaha that's the most absurd pull-outta-your-ass comparisons I've ever heard.

I would have burst out laughing and asked them where they came up w that bullshit fact

 

My parent's argument is that it's illegal, which it is...

 

Honestly you can move out, just get a job and apply for food stamps if you can. My girlfriend makes only like $221 every two weeks, and we always have plenty of food, pay the bills, both cars fully insured and gassed up, and get a lil bag of herb and some beer here and there.
 
and living in our own house is quite nice! I can smoke in any room, walk around naked, poop with the bathroom door open, play my guitar as loud as I want

 

You're 18, tell them you're an adult now and are entitled to make your own choices, and that you'll never bring it into their house/smoke in their house.
 
It took my parents a few months after I was 18 to realize I was actually an adult and clue in that I was fully entitled to make my own choices. They love me to death so they accepted that and allowed me to stay at home. Basically I just told them that I smoked a lot of weed (said 3-4 times a week at first, now they know it's daily), and that I'd been doing it for a long time.
 
The fact that I told them after getting my  marks for first year university and having the highest average of my life with a 3.7 GPA, knowing I'd been doing it the whole year they really couldn't say shit as neither of them had a clue and were actually really proud of me for stepping it up for university.
 
Once they realized I was one of the rare folks who can smoke all the time and not be negatively affected, they didn't really care. My mom disapproves of how much I smoke but she accepts that it's my choice and allows it. My dad has been a closet stoner my whole life (well not closet with his friends, but with the family), so now that it's in the open for both of us our relationship has improved ten-fold.
 
Keep in mind my mother was a propaganda enthusiast and believed it was an addictive, awful substance until I educated her on it the past few years. Never smoked in her life.

 

great movie
