My father is a chronic smoker.

As long as I can remember, my dad has been a smoker. I remember at age 13 I would come home from school and the house would reek of pot. Although I was unsure about what the scent was, I figured it out sooner or later.

When I was confronted by him when my mother found a pipe in my room, he was more concerned about the fire hazard due to my room being a complete mess. :D

I pick up some bud for him occasionally when I can, and he helps me out as well. Sometimes he picks up some really good dank!

Wish my dad smokes, wierd thing is he use to be a total stoner. But he belives in the bullshit lies like weed kills brain cells.

LOL, I hate it when anti-pot people come up with weak excuses like that.

[snicklefritz1825]

I just couldn't belive it when I told him it wasn't true and that was one of the goverments lies. When I told him there was scientific studies he couldn't belive me cause where i get my information from. Makes me so angry:mad:

[Innominate]

Ask him where he gets his information from? What is his underlying reason for quiting? Is it generally the "destruction of brain cells?"

Yeah, it sucks how the gov't completely twisted the legacy of cannabis.

my dad smokes, but to get buzzed, not high. when i was little, my mom used to tell me he smoked "herbs". haha. the only thing is, he always hides it when hes smoking and i go in the room. it pisses me off, one minute we're talking about our plans to grow indoors, the next he's denying that he's smoking. and he always says "well, im quitting pot soon." then gets a fresh bag, which i pinch from ;)

OK, you lack the "hard-core science" studies. Click on the link in my sig and get your printer running! You'll have to scroll down a ways to get to neuroprotectant (it means it protects your nerves and brain cells- quite the opposite of killing brain cells!).

Or you could let Dad just read it! If you don't want Dad to see that you frequent this site, I also posted it on a purely medical site- treatingyourself.com It's stickied in the medical marijuana forum. TY is a bit more "respectable" since it is medical in nature. :) Each one of those links is a study or article on marijuana, synthetic cannabinoids, or endocannabinoids. If PubMed and MedScape aren't good enough, I don't know what would be?

If you decide to show it to him, tell him your Granny Storm Crow (a legal California medical marijuana user) requests politely that he view the whole post. I'm not asking that he read each paper I have listed- just read the titles! ;)

Innominate - It's nice that you and your Dad have a good relationship and a common interest. My adult boys don't smoke and rarely drink- their choice. It would be cool to have a toking relationship like you and your Dad have, but that's not the way things are. They are adults and have their own lives.

Anyway, guys, feel free to use my list to refute inaccurate information that your parents or teachers may believe to be the truth, to base your MMJ term papers on, or just to broaden your knowledge! Knowledge is useless unless shared!
