hi. I've been smoking mj for about 6 months now and have found i relly enjoy it. I haven't told my parents yet because I feel like they wouldn't be able to accept it. We have a really good relationship and i wouldnt want to ruin that over mj. I have never let it affect my grades in school (im going to be a sophomore this year), and got A's on all my finals this year. Even though i use it as responsibly as i can, i still feel like they'd see it as reckless and irresponsible. I don't really use it medicinally, i use it for enjoyment and occasionally for spiritual guidance. I would like to tell them but whenever the idea or thought of smoking even comes up and im around my parents they get angry (if the doctor asks "have you smoked anything", even since before i smoked mj, my mom would say "no, and if he did i'd have to beat him", only semi-joking). I know 14 is still a young age to break the news, so i may wait a few years, but she takes everything so seriously and wants me to go to a great college and have a great job, but if she knew she would scold me about how i'll never do good in anything if i follow the path im on and how i won't be able to get into the college that SHE wants me to. Believe me, i wanna go to a good college, but in her mind all those thoughts would go down the drain if i told her about all this. So i was wondering (if you even read this far), does anyone have any advice?
You want advice. Sorry. I would keep it on the d/l for awhile man. It seems that you should focus on school seeing how your 14 and a sophomore.
You should read my busted thread. My situation sorta paralleled your except I used it for both enjoyment and medicinally. Don't try and tell them now. Just do it as responsibly as you possibly can. My biggest tip would be never get careless. When my dad found my shit it was all around the room in different places, some of which were really obvious if you actually looked for it.
ya, i never really do it at home, when i go to peoples houses i bring an extra shirt in case we hot box a room or i just reek, and i dont use eyedrops because i have contacts. The schooling here is weird which is why im going to be 15 in a couple of weeks but im still going into 10th grade. I might wait awhile (at least til im 15) and just tell my mom or dad (dont know which one to tell yet) that i want to try weed, if shes really angry/annoyed ill just walk away but if she actually wants to talk ill just tell her ill use a vape so i dont hurt my lungs too bad, and just list some of the positive aspects.
14 is too young to even know that this is something you want to continue. Pointles having a blowout over this when in a year or two you may stop on your own anyway.
Why? Finding out from you is a hell of a lot better than finding out from the policeman who's taking their "little baby" to jail for the next 6 months...
Don't start smoking too often until your well into your softmore year and don't tell your parents until you feel you can really defend yourself in an argument and you really come off as an intellengent responsible and mature person, and not a rebelious teenager, as your parents (and most people against you smoking) will attempt to label you.
You gotta do what you know is right for you. Forget the "college dreams" of society and KNOW what you want
I've been planning on telling my mother I smoke. But I've decided to wait until I'm in school and can show her it doesn't affect my grades. I know she'll be pissed and won't accept it. But she's not the type of mother that would punish me. She WILL of course send me to my dad's house for a good lecture, but I plan on telling both of them that I won't stop because of anyone else, and explain to them that I'm using it responsibly. I know I'll be caught at some point... But I think it would make myself look better if I let them know first. And then if they don't like it, it will just be the same thing as now... not getting caught. And also, I won't be getting any crazy punishment because of the shock that occurs when most kids do get caught. Just think ahead, and have planned comebacks for questions you know they'll ask. Just remember, its easy to look like an idiot when you lose your temper, just stay calm
my advice is to stop all together. you cant immagine the psychological damage mj could possibly cause to you if you start at 14.
