Who the hell cares if they catch u smoking... why should people have to live in fear of being caught for doing something that is harmless... its bullshit... just cuz some fuckers think that its wrong (Gov't) why should we have to listen to them... if ur parents say ur grounded then fuck that just go out anyway what the hell are they gonna do... im so sick of idiots thinking weed is bad for you when they pop pills for anything and everything
it's hard sometimes making people understand - especially parents because most of ours are at least in their 40's and 50's and very set in their ways. truth is, i don't care about them grounding me - they actually can't because I'm out running the business that supports the family 6 days a week. i just like having a good relationship with them. when they knew i was toking daily they disapproved and didn't talk to me as much. when i dated a chick they didn't like it was the same shit. but i kinda like my parents - so i stash my weed like it's the holy grail because i don't want to drive an unnecessary rift between us.
Well, since some people are still being supported by thier parents and/or live in their house, so its thier rules. I know, its bullshit, but even though they're uneducated, some parents are just too stubborn and they are allowed to make the rules. Definitely not worth getting kicked out for most. Older people nowadays have their beliefs and are very stubborn and refuse to believe anything else, even if it is cold hard facts. Thats just the way they are, they lived by those customs for 40-50 years and wont take another view (not all parents but most)
Not only that, some people like to keep things like that out of a parental relationship due to respect for the parents worrying habbits. i dont have to deal with this, both of my parents know i smoke pretty heavily. they ask me to stop from time to time, but they respect that i am 19 years old.
Same here....my parents kinda gave me flak for it in the beginning "It's gunna lead to harder stuff blah blah" never happened. so i think they respect that im 20, and can do what i want.
Have some fucking respect. If your parents tell you not to smoke they are only looking out for you. They have just been brainwashed by the government propaganda. Leaving the house and smoking when they tell you not to is only gonna make it worst.
I have to dissagree, i bilieve keeping something private when your of age is appropriate. parents do it all the time. they always hide shit.
this information is pretty correct IMO. ALOT of old people are set in there ways, and cannot handle change. thats ok tho, everyone is entitled to thier own oppinions.
It has absolutely nothing to do with whether they are right or wrong, they are providing a HOUSE for me to LIVE in, paying the bills, providing food, helping me with college, letting me drive their car. I live by their rules until I'm out of THEIR house. That is their logic and I completely understand it, and also agree with it. I don't tell my parents I smoke out of respect for them.
Well, I told my mom about my smoking around 17... she was a little worried at first, but she was really open-minded about it and let me educate her. I gave her a huge stack of papers printed off of erowid for her to read and she really appreciated that. I live with my mom and she's pretty much told me that until it becomes a problem, she doesn't give a damn because she's not ignorant about it anymore. I guess I was lucky that my mom let me educate her. Every now and then she'll bitch about me for being grouchy when i dont have grass or something, but that really never amounts to much. we dont argue about it now that im an adult...
You didnt understand me man.... i agree with you. But he is saying if your parents find out and ground you, leave the house anyway and smoke mad blunts. Its your choice weather you hide it or not, but have some fucking respect.... if you dont wanna go by all their rules dont just do it in front of them and spit in their face.
Yep, that is my opinion too. I've got a feeling my old man knows I smoke though - various lighters/rizla's in my bedroom, he knows all my friends smoke, and has found some weed in my desk before.
I kind of take offense. OLD! I'm almost 40, I'm NOT old. I got news for some of you 18-20 year olds. Your parents, if they were in High School in the early to mid '80's ,probably 75%-90% of them burned, toked, chiefed. It was after the Nancy Reagan "Just Say No" campaign that weed smokers declined. (class of '88 had about 1/4 of the smokers as '86 did) I have 3 kids, 21yo son (Marine in Iraq), 16 year old son, and a 15 year old daughter. My wife and I are 100% honest with them. They know we smoke. We will not tell them NO, they can't, we just ask that they wait til they are at least 17, and to come to us. Don't get some shit weed from some friend. They have not tried it yet. And they really do not seem to be too interested in smoking yet. Me, being a parent, I say that honesty is the best policy. I've never believed in lying to my children. I expect the same in return from them.
Ive always wondered this!!! i have friends that i smoke with who freak out and are like my parents cant see me high and blah blah blah. I blatently smoke in my house anymore, i never used too, i was reallllly anal about not doing it. my parents used to be huge pot heads, and my dad was the worst of the 2 (the man is still buying jimi hendrix and pink floyd on vinyl as of 3 days ago). i think they figure as long as im not failing out of school, and i'm not screwing up my life up its cool. i've never touched anything else, i'm terrified doing other drugs, so maybe that's why...? i dunno. that bullshit about weed being a gate way drug is just that, straight bull shit. i hate when people say that, cuz i'm blatant proof that it's not.
I definetly got lucky, my parents found out I smoked. Turns out they both did too, but not anymore. I also found out at the time, that my sister, and brother in law smoked as well. Pretty sweet, it's like my whole family is chill with it. I make jokes about it in front of my parents, and they just smile. EDIT: Forgot to mention, I am 20, living on my own, I work full time, and go to school full time. So they really would have no reason to hate me for weed, as I am still a responsible adult.
My mom at this point has pretty much turned a blind eye to all but the most blatant of evidence, so I'm pretty straight. But before we reached this level, I hid pot from her because of how I grew up, being told that it was a bad thing. As a tenat in their household, you should respect them and not try to be a badass. Wow, you smoke behind your parents and don't give a shit, aren't you hard. Come back once you're out from under mommy's wing and paying your own bills and buying your own food and see how hard you are.
I never got caught because I always covered my tracks, my mom has suspected things from time to time [she found my vape whip with bud still in it] and we talked about it, she hasn't brought it up since. I believe if you do good in school, respect your folks and stay out of trouble there shouldn't really be any conflict when things like this come into play. I'm definitely sure they'd be pissed if they knew I smoked, but can't do anything about it because I'm doing so well..hell move out, get a job and get your own house if they're that strict.
