BUSTED!!!!

[mono repin]

Well, I'm very careful about keeping low key. I thought there was no way in hell I would get busted ever. I just don't do the things that other people do to get busted. Basically this past weekend I left for school and brought everything with me except my vaporizer. Now, I thought about bringing the vaporizer but figured it wouldn't get used enough, and better to have it at home where its safe than at school where I could get busted with the cops/school. So my dad claims he was cleaning up my room (and sound equipment) and that why he went in my desk drawer and opened my microphone bag (where I stored it). He contfronted me in person (I live close to school), and here was the conversation.

d = dad
m = me

d: i was cleaning the room and a found a contraption in a microphone case in your drawer
d: what is it
m: a vaporizer, for smoking marijuana
d: thats illegal
m: yes i know
d: well i'm speechless
d: how often ?
m: depends on whats going on
d: with who?
m: depends, whoever is around
d: with [younger brother's name]?
m: nope he doesn't even know (thank god i never had a talk with him)
d: well there will be consequences, i'll get back to you later
m: welp, ok

I didn't want to deny anything, since its a lightbulb vaporizer, and I didn't want him to think I was a crack head and get really worried. Although, both my parents are like super hardcore religious, and look down on everything. To put things in perspective, if I was caught swearing in high school, I would lose my car for a week.

I'm letting other people (some who I don't know well) hold on to my pieces, and I'm selling the weed I have right now (a lot) at cost(around $5 a gram for decent mids) just so I can get rid of it. To put things in perspective, selling at market rate for our school I could probobly sell $15 a gram, but I want to get rid of everything, because I wouldn't put it past my dad to call the cops. I think I may lose my car and its a possibility I will lose money for college.

Things could get real shitty real fast. It's hard to read the situation. The conversation I had with my dad was rather stale, as always. My dad never had any emotions about anything, so when we were talking he wasn't mad or visually dissapointed, or upset, etc. He has testified against family members before in drug related incidents, but not immediate family.

Suprisingly, I'm not that upset, but I'm sure that will set in eventually. Anyways thought I would share, for what its worth.

Sorry to hear it man. But better to get busted by your pops than the cops. If it's any consolation, I can tell you that as you get older (and more independent), your parents generally chill on how much they try to control your decisions. Good luck and stay safe, dude.

[LzzrdBoy]

Fuck!

Guess I won't comment beyond that...except to say this is due to the fact that the first doob I ever sparked was lit by my Moms! Damn...that's sounds pretty fucked up...sorry!

[MyStiCalFiSh]

That sucks man. Sorry to hear that, hope the punishment isnt to bad for you. Best of luck.

Mono, you did the right thing by being honest.

Selling all your shitâ?¦.maybe a bit drasticâ?¦.but I understandâ?¦..you probably feel like shit right now and donâ??t even feel like smokingâ?¦â?¦that will change but that doesnâ??t matter right now.

I donâ??t know what to say about your dad. Everyoneâ??s parents are different and Iâ??m sure some even tougher times are ahead for you two.

The main thing is to not let this stop you from going to school.

It can be done.

You might have to go to a junior college for two years and then transfer to a university after that. But no matter what GO.

Iâ??m back in college at 30 with a daughter and I wish I had done it long ago.

If it comes down to it get a cheep place with some buddies of yours.

Youâ??re not a kid anymore.

Your dad sounds like a tough customer. I know what thatâ??s like except mine was my step dad.

You canâ??t change himâ?¦.and it sounds like you have been a good son to himâ?¦.but he canâ??t control you forever.

Do whatâ??s right for you â?¦..he will either respect you and your PRIVACY or he will not â?¦

I donâ??t really think you believe that shit about cleaning your roomâ?¦â?¦thatâ??s the oldest line in the book.

[lemonboy]

I'm really sorry to hear about that. It sounds like he was doing a little more than cleaning. Too bad. Parents that don't trust their kids suck. Continue being honest with them. It's the best thing to do. Be firm and adult about it if/when you get a chance to talk to them. Parents respond to that.

[sToNeDpEnGuIn420]

that sucks it was a lightbulb vaporizer, cuz u know now they probbaly think your doing harder shit, just cuz if i was to find one i would think something like that ya know?

[likemclever]

Yeah, I hope their not filling out your rehab papers or anything stupid like that.

forget I mentioned it.

that was a joke I hope your laughing.

this to shall pass.

[oSillyPuddyo]

I wonder why he was looking in the first place....

[ComfortablyNumb]

One day when I got home I was putting my weed away and noticed that a pipe made from a little "Finding Nemo" toy was missing. I was freaking out thinking my mom had found it, she would have killed me. I didn't hear anything about it for a few days and it was starting to bother me. So one day after school my dad wants to go hunting and I didn't think much about it because he always wants to go. When we got to where we were sitting and he says


d: I thought we had a deal.
m: what?
d: that you wouldn't smoke weed.
m: why do you say I smoke?
d: I know you do.
m: how?
d: I found a pipe. It was a toy from that movie.
d: how long have you been smoking?
m: Just a couple weeks.(I had been smoking for 6 months)

I can't really remember the rest but he didn't tell my mom. I had to burn my pipe and bottle, but not my weed he didn't see that. I quit for almost a month
and have been smokin ever since, it's been about a year now and I have a glass pipe so no more foil!!!lol

The feeling I had when we were talking about it sucked, but now we joke about it a little.

[mono repin]

Alright, well I didn't sell everything, I have some stowed at a friends house (big props to you ;) ). Drastic? Maybe, but school is first, and if they did call the cops on me, I'm screwed out of school (I had enough to be arrested, and undoubtedly get kicked out). This is my 3rd year, so pretty much junior college is out at this point. Rehab, it wouldn't put it past them, but I'm not worried about that. Was he lying about the cleaning up bit? It wouldn't surpise me if they were actually cleaning up my room. My sound equipment is worth big bucks, and being in the basement it is in danger of flooding. My dad is also irrationally scared of flooding (we have 5 sump pumps, 3 alarms, 2 battery powered pumps, a rack of 6 marine batteries, and 2 hand pumps, a generator, and we normally have hosing ready in case we need to siphon to the end of the lawn). On the other hand he was going through my shit, cleaning or no I never gave him permission. It's his house so I'm not pissed that he did it, but I think a lot less of him. Letting up over time... my older brother (26) lives 2 miles away, and still gets plenty of shit from the parents. I have no desire to stay in the area after graduating, but in the meantime they pay for most of my school and my car. I haven't quit smoking (yet), and don't plan too unless they drug test me in order to keep my car. The whole thing is a fucking mess. I'm sure their church will call me sometime this week wanting to have a 'counseling session'. They aren't going to trust me around my younger brother much either, which is probobly the worst part of it all.

That happened to me too... My mom found out I smoked and said that I couldnt be around my little bro (6) and sis (7)
That was the worst of it all
I havent quit but to her I have...I just need to make sure I dont slip up this time
good luck to you buddy!!

good lord, does she actually think you're going to give 6 and 7 year old weed? lol

[KronicKyla]

well its not that its because I live with just my mom and me and the kids...

I am basically there other parent because I am 15 years older then them
but yeah come on like I would smoke in front of them or anything

[BobBong]

I grew up as a Jehovah's Witness, when i started smokin... i was scared shitless, i was 16. Had i been caught then, i would've had a shitstorm to deal with. The shitstorm still came.. just not then. When i was 18 i got a tattoo to show to myself and my parents that i AM my own person with my OWN goals and my OWN personality. Not just an "Elder's Son". It showed to them i'm patriotic,a pot smoker, and rebelious against the religion (all 3 are strongly frowned on)...exactly the way it should be.

Enter:Shitstorm.

Breaking away from a Religion that you've been brought up in, or a religion your entire family is involved and active in is probably the hardest thing anyone could ever have to do in their life.

You have to make your own decisions. If this religion stuff isn't what you want, tell your parents. Religion can make you lie to yourself and the people around you...Nothin worse than lying to yourself...I'll vouche for that.

If your parents love you and respect you as their SON and not just as a church goer then you will know it.

I'm 20 now...I told my parents when i was barely 14 that i didn't want to do the religion shit anymore...it didn't go over well. I dropped out at 16, and worked fulltime to support myself.. feed myself even...18 i was politely asked to leave after getting my tattoo..

Since then? I've seen my family literally, a handfull of times.

They live no more than 40 minutes away and make such little effort in seeing me, it makes me wonder if they care at all?

Religion will do that...

[m4o2n0a]

BobBong I feel ya. I was a JW as well. I cant speak for all the witness's but my parents had a hard time dealing with me being the black sheep and for a long time I was an outkast but my parents have shown me a great deal of love even though I dont share their beliefs anymore. I moved out when I was 15 cause of a whole shit load of issues but not everyone is the same. Some parents although they are religious and can get blind sided dont ever forget how to continue to love their children no matter what choices they make.

Its hard not to let a situation like that get you down but what doesnt kill ya only makes you stronger. Trust me i learned the hard way as well but in the end i really havent done that bad for myself. Im sure things will work out for you and someday you can prove to your folks that you dont have to obide by one set of rules to be happy or even successful in life. And if ya ever need a pal to smoke up with im here for ya... (in cyber space n e way) lol

Always,
Mona
