Facts to show my dad.

[soldier1944]

Well I decided to smoke a bowl when my dad was in the shower.. then go for a jog. Well when I got back he told me my room smelled like smoke, that I need to quit smoking dope, and he "wont have this in his house". He also said that if I wanna smoke it to move to my gramas and pack all my shit, or he will call the city police down here to sort things out. (He cant find my stash)
He was also confused on how I pay for all of it, he was like "how do you even... you dont even have a job..." I dont really wanna tell him that I can always buy it because I buy ounces and then sell it gram by gram, that would probably make him even more mad.
I told him I dont smoke cigs or drink alcohol at all, but he used my average grades in school against me. He also said how will I get a job when I need to take a drug test. I need some facts, to help convince him that pot isnt so bad.
any help is appreciated.

The hardest thing to do sometimes is to convince you're mom or dad that marijuana isn't dangerous like boos and tobaco are. I suggest that you go to the link that says, The Untold Story, download it into a word document folder, and print it out. Then what you do is make several copies and give one to your dad, or find some other way of convincing him other wise. Other then that, I really don't know what else to do.

Tell him he can't prove cannabis had anything to do with your grades and try to bring them up, and that not all jobs are dependent on drug testing.
Also if you don't plan on quitting you could try to tell him it would be safer to smoke in the privacy of your own home than somewhere else where there is risk you could get caught.
Good luck, im not doin any of this until I turn 18 or I really have to.

Yeah, I was going to post that the "Myths" section on erowid would prove very useful. Give this a try: http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=8209

Tell your Dad that you get it for free since you don't smoke much. That's what I do. And say that it's not really affecting you in school, and it helps relieve stress and relaxes you a little bit and helps you sleep better.

He doesn't care that it's bad for you, but he doesn't want to get caught. Just don't smoke or keep anything in the house, just smoke with your friends.

The Untold Story link is on the cannabis home page, or at least that's where I found it. Just read carefully through the two hundred some odd links and you'll find it.

second, tell him youll never sm0ke during school.

third, inform him about this "drug" so he can understand more.
