My parents are evil :(

[OzzyOz]

Basically now that my parents know i smoke, they've ruined my life... even more then they already had. Ok, i tried to talk to them about herb after they caught me ... but my parents are ignorant. They said that if i ever smoked weed again, they'd send me to this "teen boot camp" which is for "troubled teens". They think that weed can give you Brain damage, when that test was conducted on Apes with shots through syringe of pure THC. They still were ignorant and said "No robert, it gives you brain damage". So finally them being the good parents they are ;) ( not really, i hate them ) They belive that it would be a great idea to drug test me, monitor both my IM's with some program, my internet history etc. Almost any freedom i had. I mean, i only smoke weed like 2 times a week... and it's great. Ever since i've started smoking weed, i've been nicer to people and much more happy. But on the debate of health issues concerning " brain damage" , Weed can't give you brain damage. And once i prove them wrong at that, there going to say " well it ruins your lungs" . Well it's definately not healthy for your lungs, but i'd smoke a vaporizer if i really had too... because they do not damage your lungs, at all. ANyhow, basically my parents are invading my privacy. They won't let me hangout with friends because they suspect they "smoke pot". Well everyone they thinks smokes pot doesn't... i actually don't hangout with too many people who smoke pot, like a couple. But i've never had a friend over who smokes pot at my house... which is why i normally don't smoke pot at my house obviously.

But i hope your life is alot better than mine, and i hope you have better parents than me... mine are the worst, and i hate them to the fullest extent

As much as I'd hate to say, don't hate your parents man. They're just not educated about cannabis. They just don't understand the cannabis culture.

Sorry your feeling down! I'm a parent and I have parents, ~lol~ so I have been on both ends of this, I'm sure you don't want to hear this but, Your parents just love you and want you to make what theyfeel is the best choices for your life.

Now I was a teen mom (back in the day) I am a HUGE pot smoker have been since I was 13, I always said if my kids wanted to toke I would support them, now my son is 13 and I want more for him! Smoking dope has changed my life, I have passed up many, many wonderfull chances because I am a addict!

So know that they seem like they are being assholes they only worry about you. If you had a friend who was really doing alot of shit, drinking all the time and putting themselves at risk, I ask you would you ignore it or would you be a true friend and say something?

If you answer yes I would say something, I think you now have a better understand of the fear your parents have!

Okay mom stuff over! Feel better soon :D

[OzzyOz]

well the thing is i only do it once a week, kinda to relieve stress and have a good time. what oppurunitys do you have a 3:00 at your friends house etc. It's not like i'm passing up a job interview to smoke lol


and yeah i understand, but i'm more mad at the whole "drug test" thing and invasion of privacy thing.

[LilRedDevil]

Ozzy,

How old are you?? Geez I wish oh wish that the world could see how much good pot can do! If it was not for pot I could be D E A D now, I had a very bad crack problem and if it was not for my hoolies I would either be dead or a MAJOR crack head today.

Keep us posted on how things are going!

OzzyOz, my parents were the same way...they would never listen to anything I said, but everyone goes through this period of life. It's just a part of your teen years. My mom lived (and lives) in this odd religious/Dr. Phill- rules- the- world universe and still has no idea what's going on in real life. I'm 30, she has no idea that I do, or have ever smoked pot and thinks I have only been drunk once. I know, see I told you, she's in an alternate universe.

All I can say is one day you'll be able to do what you please, and until then you have to follow their rules until you move out. Sorry but that's basically all there is to it when you're dealing with ppl who won't listen to facts.

[thcbongman]

Wow man and I thought my mom was overprotective.

Jesus christ. That's horrible.

[RESiNATE]

Ok, so I'm gonna say some stuff about this lol

Ozzy, you're parents aren't evil, dude - they are just misinformed and closed-minded.
But guess what? It aint their fault.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like one or other of your parents is from a deeply religious background (or indeed, a military one). If that is true, then I'm afraid that you're gonna have a very difficult job to change their opinions - but still doesn't hurt to try ;)

I'm sorry to tell you this, but until you're 18 and living under your own roof, you gotta respect their rules. It's a tough break, man, I know all too well, but it's the way it is.

But here's where you gotta be clever.
Don't be flaring up in their faces and giving them a whole load of shit, because you will be the only one to suffer - think about how you'd look to them - "obviously the drugs have turned him into a raving psycho!" - get it? :)
Instead, stay calm and reasonable.

They only want to protect you, like others have said, and maybe their opinions about providing that protection (ie, against cannabis) are a little misguided, then maybe you should do some research yourself.
Every now and then, you could tell them some of your findings to help them understand better - but not in a "see, it is safe, so I should be allowed to smoke it" kinda way, but rather a "I have been thinking about what you said, and decided to research it further, and this is some of my findings" kinda way...

Or, maybe I'm just old fashioned lol

I understand his parents care alot about him and all, but I think they are going way to far on invading his privacy. They are just probably really close minded... I don't know dude... not your fault :(

[Hektik]

Don't listen to them. It is okay to hate your parents. :p

[Free Falling]

alrite dude,im 20 now and a couple of summers ago my parents found joint ends in my room(no one smokes in the house,getting rid of them is tricky,theres only so many i can throw into next door neighbours garden) they got more freaked out about me smoking and burning the house down than anything,i think in time parents come to accept that your going to do it anyway,its not openly talked about but my parents realise i could be doing a lot worse...i used to think i hated my parents but now im a little older we get on really well.id count yourself lucky you have two parents,so there a bit anal at the moment,there just worried,it will pass

[slipnslide087]

hahaha,. i hated my mom for almost 2 years straight, before she she loosened the fuck up. i just didnt stop doing my thing. i got caught with diferent things multiple times back then, the longest i ever stopped everything for my mom and being in trouble and drug tested and shit was 4 days.....nowadays i think it was worth going through that much trouble, i knew it was the only way to change her mind. (it really was). we are all cool now though. yeah and a lot of kids, like when they get to like high school and shit, a lot of moms are going or about to go through menopause. They are ruthless bitches.....well my mom was for about 2 years....and shes about the right age i would suspect,,,,,i dunno if that made any sense.....this wasnt supposed to be a long thread,

Not old fashioned dude, just a little older, a little wiser.
I have to agree with everything you said.

Finally, someone level headed.. Nice, Resinate.

i feel sorry for all u people...my mom knows i smoke pot and she smokes it with me! she buys it for me all the time...ahh my life is great

[Bman719]

Wow... interesting thread.. that's for sure. Me... my parents have never caught me in the act of toking up, and if they did i think i'd be kicked out of my house for good. I am 17 so i can relate to how you feel man... but i do have a few tips for you. Until recently, when i smoked i would use a toilet paper roll with dryer sheets in it, open my window, blow my smoke out my window (Which was a good or bad thing, depending on the direction of the wind) and shut the window when i was done, and spray my room with tons of smelly shit. My dad did come in once while me and my older brother were just done smoking and asked what the smell was, we just said it was his jacket cause he was at a bar and he bought it (my brother is 24... he was visiting for the day). Recently I have found a perfect plot to smoke my weed in my room with my parents never finding out. I cleared out my entire closet cept for a few select things (luckily i have a walk in closet), put lantern in there, black lights, fog machine, and bean bag chairs, and smoke my reefer in the closet... some of the time i'll use the toilet paper roll with dryer sheets just to be on the safe side, when i'm done i spray my closet with cologne, walk out, shut the door, and it's all good. The cologne gets rid of the weed smell, and my room never smells at all.... my best advice for you, use a bong or a pipe (preferrably a pipe, easier to hide... i hide all my weed and pipe in a computer game box), and clean out your closet and smoke in there. If you do use a pipe, after you're done with every hit hold the lighter over the top of the bowl to make sure no excess smoke gets out, and blow it out of a toilet paper tube with dryer sheets. That's the best advice i can give you, and good luck man.

cut off the bottom of a water bottle,,,,,stuff that with dryer sheets,,,,,,blow thru where the cap would be..........those work really well.
