how to convince a parent its ok fo rme to smoke

alright so my dad came out of the 60s and im sure he smoked weed before and i do it now with all my friend at my house and im not discreet about it at all i kinda want him to know but i dont want him to b mad about it and we were talking and he told me never to smoke pot (this was like a week ago) but im 100% for sure he smells it when i do so how can i break that and get him to tell me he knows and is cool with it



thanx

 

i have been trying to think of a way to do that for a long time now and i have not thought of any thing. so i decided to learn as much as i can about it so if i ever get caught i can at least argue my perspective on it and hopefully convince him its not as bad as he sees it to be.

but that probably wont do any good if your dad has done it and is still strongly against it. sorry

 

Tell him you need to tell him something if he is a homophobe, tell him you are gay. And then when he's about get the shotgun, say nah only kidding pops, I just like to get my puff on every now and again. And he'll say phew!

 

Give them special brownies and when they are high say 'Your stoners, just like me!'

 

I think the best way to convince your parents that you aren't just another fucktard stoner idiot is by using the SEARCH BUTTON

 

No convincing can be done... "You can't teach an old dog new tricks..."

 

^ This is sadly true most of the time.

 

you also can't control the way another person will react

 

It's a hard thing to do. I was at my friend's barbeque for the parade we had about a month back and her brother, me and a friend of ours went behind the house to smoke a bowl and her brother's dad came around the corner and caught us. He grabbed the bowl out of my friend's hand, hit it and said, "That's some good shit." He talked with us for a while saying how the weed is stronger these days then went to the porch and had a beer. it was weird but kind of cool. either way, parents won't always react the same way. Right now the only one in my family who knows is my mom. She doesn't care as along as I'm not stoned around my family, which isn't hard to do since I don't live at home. It's kind of the thing that no one wants to know so we just keep it our little secret. The key to proving you're not a bad stoner is responsibility. I've heard a million NA people say about how they need drugs to get by. I'll admit, playing Guitar Hero or any other game is fun stoned. Doing almost anything stoned is fun as hell as long as you're in the right company. It's needing it on an everyday basis that makes it bad.

 

I personally had a similar reaction from my mother. She asked me once what we, my friend and I, were smoking in the basement, "It's not crack or anything?" I told her it was weed and she said "people have been doing that for years." and that seemed to be it for her. Every once in a while I discuss it with her. I just explain to her that it is a release for me from stress. Keeping in mind that I make a good amount of money and have been living on my own for a while now. I also only smoke at the end of the work day or on weekends, never at work. I often think of what I would do if I found out my daughter was smoking, she is seven now but I often think about the future when it comes to my child, as parents often do, and I wonder how I will react.

I often suggest to people that honesty is the best policy. If you are worried about it then you should tell them, but not together, I would do is one at a time. You must however have a good reason and show some responsibility about it. In most ways it is safer than booze in the fact that no and I mean no one has ever died as a result of smoking weed. No such thing as an overdose. The "gateway drug" thing is just as easily put upon liquor as well as weed. Not to mention that it is just a smear campagne by the govenment. People who are stupid often die after smoking weed but that is usually an accident. Weed is not addictive and is a natural product. Also, the results of weed do not last. One of the things that people often associate with weeds is loss of short term memory, well that is only durning the time you are smoking weed. There are a lot of facts about weed that are good to know before you talk with your parents about it. It may not matter with them, they might be cool about it. After all you know your parents better than I do. But, I will say one more thing. I don't know how old you are but I personally do not think that younger people should smoke weed. It's an experience thing for me. I don't think that children or teenagers really know enough about life to make the right decisions about thinks that can affect your life so much. I would prefer it to be a thing that is regulated, like liquor. No one under the age of 21. Not that I think it is wrong, and I know I would be just as guilty. In my experience it is something that people need to learn about before they can buy and or use it. I know that I drank before I was old enough to do so, but I was educated about liquor by my parents. Maybe if we could teach our children about drugs and I mean really really teach our kids without the risk of having that child taken away by Child Welfare. Then we would have the next generation of people who would have a better understanding of drugs and alcohol. Not that some kids are much better at taking care of them selves but these things can really affect you in bad ways if you are not careful.

This is coming from someone who now smokes on a regular basis and often drinks at the same time. I personally never smoked weed in high school and only once in college. I was so afraid by all of the "Say no to drugs" campagne that I would not even touch the stuff. But drinking was ok. I find that through education and talking with my friends that I learnded enough about it to make an educated decision to try it. Make sure that you always have a marker set for yourself. It is very easy to go past it and just say "Fuck It" but I have always said to myself that if it affected me enough that I could not do my job or if I started smoking durning work that I would just quit. So far, so good. So enjoy responsibly as they say. Happy hunting all and good luck.

 

thanks all of u and i dont think there should be a age limit becouse its kinda up to the person to decide when there ready

and i dont do it to relive stress or anything couse that makes it sound like i need it to get away from my troubles wich id ont have i just like being high lol ty again ever1

 

move out.. or are you a millenial?

 

A lot of parents in my experience realize that weed's just weed. It doesn't lead to anything, doesn't ruin anything, won't kill you, it's just weed. All the parents I've talked to about it felt like that, except mine. Mine are cool with it now, but way back when they found out before I moved out, they were crazy mad. But they never smoked, seeing as you dad did, it's probably a different story.

Don't go hot railing meth though, that'd be a tough argument to win.

 

you dont.
rebelling's half the fun.

 

Part 2 of this cannabis faq on erowid destroys all those myths about weed that most people still believe. http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_faq1.shtml

Also if they watched super high me that might convince them also, keep in mind if your parents are very anti drug then this might just get them very mad at you, and they would know that your smoking weed, but if there really cool then go for it

 

My vote goes to this plan of action

 

The only reason marijuana is dangerous is the fact that it is illegal. However, because it is illegal it is dangerous. That is probably what your father is thinking about.

 

no.

 

if your dad is a religious zealot or social conservative, there is very little hope. otherwise it's best to not use brilliant logic to convince him to give you permission. I'd say just show that you're extremely productive and smart and happy and you can slip the fact that you toke in there somewhere and hopefully he'll see that you're one of the people who can use it responsibly (provided that is in fact the case)

 

I'd never even bother mentioning weed to my parents, I know how that'd go... There are things your parents just don't need to know... I don't wanna upset mine and so therefore it's easier to just not talk about certain things, it's none of their business anyway..
