Want to smoke with my bro

Discussion in 'Apprentice Marijuana Consumption' started by jethrot73, May 15, 2011.

  1. What up, GC? So I kinda made this as a vent-ish thread. Lately I've been thinking how fucking awesome it would be to smoke with my brother. We used to not really get along, but I'm starting to get to the point in my life where family feels like the most important thing (I'm out of the house, most of my friends are either gone or have their own things going on, and family seems more important anyways). Now there's only one problem: my whole family (excluding my sister) is Mormon. Im 100% positive that my bro would say no to weed, and I don't have the heart to steer him on that path away from my mom either way. She's completely against drugs (she doesnt know I smoke), and in fact, she wishes I would come back to this church but she knows I won't. It's not something that I'm at all interested in. I don't like the religion but I love my mom, and I couldn't let another one of her kids break away from the church for her sake. I just really want him to join me in a sesh and have that brother-bonding time I never really got to have before. It feels like a shitty situation to be in, but right now I just have to live with it. I would smoke with my sister who also isn't a Mormon, but she doesn't like weed (she's tried it about five times and says she likes being sober more). Anyway, I felt like telling the city about it so there it is. Sorry if it was a little jumbled or whatever, and thanks to the people who took the time to read it.
     
  2. Yeah man, thats a dilemma :/
     
  3. ask him and inform him about it. If he pull up the propaganda bull shit pop him in the mouth. haha jk but my brothers is 8 years younger than me and he is 12 haha i smoked with him one time. i convinced him tomorrow to smoke haha. This will be interesting
     
  4. Don't try to force your beliefs on him, just as you don't want the Mormon beliefs pushed on you so don't try to push marijuana beliefs on him. If he wants to live his life without weed then more power to him.

    But on a different note I wanna smoke with my bro too, but he already smokes. He knows I do and I know he does and were both open about it but never smoke. Gonna wait till I get a dank pickup and just be like "wanna smoke?" haha :D
     
  5. You should be able to bond with your brother with or WITHOUT weed.
    He's your fucking brother..
     
  6. Him smoking won't necessarily tear him away from the church or your mom. Some religious people may get more religious when they're high!
     
  7. just because someones related to you doesn't mean you have anything in common
     

  8. bonding has nothing to do with having things in common.
     
  9. sneak him a pot brownie and right when it kicks in start reading the book of mormon. claim its a religious experience for him, and when he comes down see if he enjoyed it. if he did be all like "t'was weed muthafucka!"
     
  10. I'm not trying to force any beliefs on anyone. I'm not even going to mention the topic of marijuana to him. I just wish I could and he would accept it. But I can bond with him, all I'm saying is that I wish I could have the experience of smoking with him. I think it would be a good one. This was more of a vent than anything else, because a situation where I could get my bro to smoke with me is very unlikely, not to mention it would be hard to do it without tearing him away from my mom and/or making her really sad. She's very black and white and so is the Mormon religion.
     
  11. Instead of thinking about it as hanging out, getting high, bonding, try hanging out, bonding, *maybe* getting high. Sure being high is awesome but thinking that that's the best way to bond with someone who has never smoked weed and from the sound of it has no interest in it is probably irresponsible. Check yourself when you think about "This should be done high" and see if it is really that important. Most of the time, I'd say no, it isn't. Doing something first and then later doing it high is a much better experience for me personally and if you don't want to be dependent on marijuana to have the experience of bonding, don't use it together (at least at the start).

    I'd love to smoke with my girlfriend but she wants nothing to do with it. That's her choice and I know that to have a relationship with someone you don't have to smoke.

    That's my little information puke for ya. I hope something in here helps, have a good one.
     

  12. Truth. Having smoked with my little brother, I can definitely see why you'd like to, but given that you already feel he's against it, and that it could possibly make things difficult with the family, I'd look for another way to achieve a meaningful bonding experience.

    Your intentions are good, but consider the whole family in making your decision since family is obviously important to you.
     
  13. I feel the same way about my brother... He is older than me and I've always looked up to him but he is now against weed and is into cigs and alcohol instead like a SCRUB!
     
  14. I know Mormons who are stoners, and it hasn't torn them away from their religion at all! In fact, one of them is leaving for his mission in a few weeks. Obviously he keeps it a secret from the church, but he personally has no conflict between weed and religion.

    I'm not religious myself, but I would think if you truly believe in it, it would bring you closer to your religion. Nonreligious as I am, even I have felt a bit more spiritual when I'm high. But if he subscribes to the "Weed is bad, I don't wanna do it" idea AND is religious, it'll be pretty hard to get him to agree to smoke with you.
     
  15. If he's at least 18 then just offer to smoke him up. If he says no respect his decision.
     

  16. ..other than the fact that they're blood
     
  17. If your shit's together, if you're successful, and you're really close to your brother, you should let him know you smoke, and it's just not a big deal. It's way better than drinking alcohol, and is something you use to help yourself unwind at the end of the day. Though it's definitely not for everyone, you're using it responsibly and it's not getting in the way of anything you do. Maybe he'll come around to the idea eventually.

    I know mine did! And now my brother and I smoke every night (I'm 21 now and finishing up my bachelor's, he's 26 and about to start his second master's degree).
     

  18. Talking about weed like you have to believe in it for it to work, haha.
    Religion is all about faith and believing in something.
    Weed is about smoking/eating/vaping/enjoying it and feeling something, it's about scientific proof to its medical applications, it's about scientific proof to it's low risk for bodily and mental harm.

    You can't compare forcing religion on someone to insisting someone try marijuana.

    I'm not debating whether or not you should insist that someone try marijuana, I don't think it's a good idea to try and make someone do anything, however...

    Religion is something people have to have faith in to believe, to "believe" (as you so put it) in marijuana, one must only try it. :D

    The hell is a "marijuana belief" anyway?
     

  19. Not to sound like a dick, but 12 seems pretty fucking young to be smoking..I mean that's like 6th/7th grade
     
  20. I never used to get on with my brother, believed all the bullshit about weeds bad blah blah blah, But know I get on with him alot better now I smoke hes 4 years older than me, And hell he even gave me a brownie when he got home from work :D
