Goodbye Paraphanalia...

[PaulCT7]

My parents raided my room while I was in Europe on a school trip. And they found everything I had stored away in my guitar amp.

2 foot Grateful Dead Bong - $150
Double Bowled Bubbler - $100
9 Assorted Bowls (Inlcuding one I was holding for a friend) - $200-$300

I was so angry that I couldnt see straight. Holes were kicked in the walls, things thrown, and death threats issued. I realize that I may have over-reacted, but I worked hard to buy all of these things.

Then we can go into their reasoning....

1. I am irresponsible and am going to get in trouble or get kicked out of school. But I am however, 9th in my class of 250ish, with a GPA of 4.123. Plus I quit smoking by my own free will for the last 2 months of school in order to keep my grades.

2. Or they tried to say that they didnt want paraphanalia in their house since it is illegal. YET I have used my dad's hooka, pipe, and BONG which he has stored in the basement.

This is a rant, and I know that, but I just want to be sure that I am not crazy for feeling a little peeved at this.

Assuming that your parents wouldn't check your room while you were away, and therefore sealing your own fate by not stashing them better - Priceless

ROTFL!!!

Oh man... I don't even know what to say aside from what has been alluded to...you need to do a better job of stashing shit. As far as your little tyrade (kicking walls, death threats, etc.)...Why? You got caught and you take your knots. Instead, you now have parents that probably feel they can't trust so and are questioning how safe they are being around you. Nice. Ce la vie...

[LazySmoking420]

Your kinda lucky they didn't involve law enforcement. Like what happen to my friend. You gotta pack light...more so since you're still living with your parents that I assume dont approve of drugs paraphanalia. Nothing wrong with a couple pieces but shit son...2 footer, bubbler, and 9 pipes! You're asking to get caught by nosey parents.

[friendowl]

hostage your moms jewlery
if she wants her shit back
give back the bongs

[LazySmoking420]

Face it, You're fucked...your shits gone.

What are you gonna do? Leave? Be homeless? Gotta stay cool my friends. Dont blow the smoke in your parents face...Keep it on the DOWN...low.

Not getting caught is FIRST and FOREMOST!

Get high is secondary...

[hahaitsdoogle]

the resin alone in the collection is which prolly led your mom to find it.

* sniff * whats that..

walks towards the amp..

*sniff * its getting stronger over here

*sniff* the amp

BUSTED>

Im with Friendowl man ... It'll probably work too.

NOW, i know how you feel, because i am VERY much like you with my temper. I've done the death threat thing, i've kicked doors down, put my hands through windows, punched through a hard board wall. I even hit my parents, both my mum and dad. I went all out crazy when i lost my temper. Seriously crazy.

But when i got to 16 i started to seriously think to myself, why? You have to live in your house. Why smash it up? It wont get anything solved. It'll just mean your parents take the money they'd normally give you and spend it to fix what you broke.

One day you'll look back and realise maybe they';re were other ways around it.

I'd applogise and try and sort it out.

[jrbennett]

If I WAS YOU I WOULD DO LIKE ME JUST MOVE OUT AND SMOKE 3-7 TIMES A DAY WITH NO WORRIES OF ANYBODY FUCKING WITH YOU.

[Cooler Then Jesus]

i would do it too. but dont say its you, say they belong to your freind and he said he will stop at nothing, but you know no names, and then her jewler or car dissapears, oh no! fuck these, this kid can have em.

















yeah right.

You need to start smoking weed again. Two months go by, something like this happens and, when you find out, you fly off the handle.

[kush07]

Sorry to hear about your misfortune bro, but you were kinda asking for it by having everything stored in one place was not smart. All that resin and other chemical's that induce the sense of smell were concentrated and thus easier to find. I go with beacguy on this one, start smokin again cause you need to chill a little. Grades and school pressure must have got to ya or something. But yeah, sorry about your misfortune.

Happy Toking :rasta:

[The Big Easy]

Sounds like your parents are hypocrits

[m.g.]

steal mom's jewelry to make it right??? come on, nowl...

[Peach.Optimo.Bluntz]

should have stashed them some where else. Anyways sorry to hear about it man.

[crudemood]

breaking things isnt gonna help, probably going to make it worse for you.
i would have gotten just as angry, but remember revenge is better served cold. so next time wait until you're calmed down, then get revenege..

[PaulCT7]

BillionFold- Sorry for trying to trust my parents. I guess I am a rare breed for giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Big Calhoun- My parents are a little on edge, but they are realizing how other parts of my life have been effecting me, and that throwing it all away when they have their own shit hidden in the basement is wrong.

LazySmoking420- If you remember scutty, I bought over 50 pipes off him and am now down to the 9. I like to have the best of everything, so my shit accumulated for better or worse.

hahaitsdoogle- The bong had been used about 5 times, and 6 of the pipes are new and unused. So you are just plain wrong...

LIP- I have already apologized and will be paying for repairs. And I was close to hitting people, anyone close, but I went for a nice 2 hour walk into bufu, getting lost as fuck to cool off.

jrbennett- Thats just ridculous.

beachguy in thongs- I have been smoking again for about 3 weeks. I was in Europe for the last two and scored some dank bud off some Londen-ers, hash of a rastafarian in Paris, and some more hash of Moroccans in Madrid, Spain. Then we played ping pong with the Moroccans, I won...

kush07- I have been smoking, and the items were not ALL in the amp. Plus some were un/barely used. There was no smell involved, they strip searched my room.

The Big Easy- Yes.

crudemood- Agreed.

wtf! What kind of parents would call the cops on their own kid. I mean i've herd of it but still thats retarded man.

and i dont understand why parents get all bent out of shape when your grades are that good.

pure genius!!!

[PaulCT7]

I guess I didnt word this properly, but they have thrown away all my stuff. It is all long gone in the city dump. But if I were going to ransom something, it would be my dad's antique paraphanalia, not jewelry.

I also DONT smoke with my dad, I have just used his items before, and he previously smoked.

My mom knows my grades are good, but she worries about my future and getting caught by the police, but I have my shit underwraps which she just cannot believe.

[the image reaper]

if I was your Daddy, I woulda kicked the livin' shit out of you for trashin your house ... if you cant live by your parents rules, and respect their home they worked so hard to provide ... Get the Fuck OUT ... :smokin:

[PaulCT7]

I would like to see my dad hit me. I am 6'4" with a chip on my shoulder to be honest. Unless you are a haus, then I wanna see you get past my reach.

And when the rules apply to me and not them. I cannot give them much respect.

[tyrantowns]

Paul, you should tell them that taking all your paraphanalia isn't going to stop you from smoking.. just run you a little short on cash...
Hope everything works out:thumbsup: :rasta:

[Lightitup44]

I support you Paul. My parents have found over a hundred worth of pieces and parephanelia and about a half pound over a 3 month period. Lots of money down the drain so i would be jsut as pissed. IT IS NOT ALL THE MONEY THAT GETS YOU, ITS THE WORK AND TIME PUT INTO THE WORK FOR THESE PIECES AND ALL THE GOOD MEMORIES THEY POSESS. I hate losing shit to my parents, specially if they(or dad) keeps the same shit in the house. (9th in ur class bro, keep it up and they should start to respect your marijuana habit).

peace

[dejayou30]

wow that is absurd. a 4.1 something and they are still pissed at you? and with a guitar amp big enough to store all that i would assume you have a job too? i would say that's out of line and pretty much proves that smoking weed doesn't create any problems for you or if it does, then you are able to regulate it. i think your parents are out of line. although it is their house and if they don't want those things in their house then you have to respect that. thats how my parents are so i just leave it in my car when i go back home to visit. you should respect your parents for a couple weeks and just stop and then try talking to them. i think thats the most you can do. oh and fix or pay to fix the shit you broke. its your parents house man.

[KL4D4]

I still tear up thinking about my bowl that got broken :(

[PaulCT7]

tyrantowns- I have done this, and the kinda agreed on the point that it isnt really solving the problem at all.

Lightitup44- They have said that they do appreciate my school work, but worry about the law catching me and losing everything I worked so hard for. Which is a somewhat valid point, but I am pretty careful with my habit and the likelihood is small.

Reefer Rogue- *Blows kisses and bows*

dejayou30- I have held down a job, where I am the highest rank inside emplyee all around, for almost a year now. I pay for a large majority of my expenses, and if they had of held onto it and said dont have this in our house, I would have respected that.

KL4D4- Imagine that feeling 1000x...

[PaulCT7]

Oh yeah, and I am the band president... Hahahaha

Coolest band kid you'll ever meet right here. Take pictures, they last longer...

[mattdestruction]

My mom caught me and my friends smoking my $280 two foot, double chambered, blue dot with an ice catcher in front of my sister and her friends (freshmen in hs) one time. This was after she had already yelled at us twice that evening for boozing (we were all 19-20y/o at the time), forcing me to empty two bottles of goose and one jose cuervo down the drain. Needless to say she flipped out, grabbed the bong, put it in a trash bag and repeatedly smashed it in my driveway in front of everyone until it was just a few pieces. I felt totally defeated but got over it after a few months.

It is their house,, not yours.

Since it is their house, they make the rules.

Move out and make your own rules in the home you pay for.

Easy peasy huh?
