Well, he got the letter, read it, and is still mad. I talked to my mom online and she said he told her he feels let down because of my choice to use an illegal drug. I then stated how it should be legal in the first place, and she said it doesn't matter and blah blah blah, the same as every ignorant person says about marijuana. I guess I will just talk to him when it's legalized, a cause I fully intend on fighting for until it is.
thats really sad that he's willing to throw away a relationship with his son because of the lies he's been force feed his whole life. Maybe time will calm him down. Good luck
I stand by my phrasing above, Mr. D. It's not that us "hippie stoner" parents don't get the absurdity of cannabis laws or perceive its clear benefits. It's that no parents in the world want our children arrested, treated badly by closed-minded cops or courts, jailed, or to have to be at the mercy of our cannabis-misinformed legal system, no matter how meritless the charge.Quote:

I didn't acuse you or anyone else of being "hippy stoner parents" btw, my parents let me smoke weed when I started, I'm just saying they're out there. And hey, the lifestyle has its ups and downs.
The question is...do you have the strength and willpower to stop smoking marijuana instead of throwing away your relationship with your father because you like to get high? I personally do not know what I would do in this situation...but you need to decide for yourself.
Dejayou30 i thought your letter was excellent, but was sad (and surprised) to read it had no effect. If you can afford it ? take him to Holland/ Amsterdam ! all that Culture, Art, History, cuisine, co-habiting nicely with a relaxed sensible attitude towards cannabis might just open his eyes a little. A bit extreme i but there you go....Best of .
Its not so much that I "like to get high," its that I'm 22 years old and can make decisions about my own life. Quitting smoking is not hard to do, I've done it twice before for 40 days and again for 30 days. The fact is that I don't want or need to quit. My life is just fine with it.Quote:

A girlfriend who tries to take me away from my friends is not worthy of being my girlfriend.Quote:

When I got my industrial piercing..my dad didn't talk to me for THREE days. I knew he was ALWAYS against piercings and tattoos...it took me 3 years to convince him to let me get a small hoop on my left earlobe...then one day I came home with the cartilage of my ear pierced in two places, all connected by one big long bar...he was PISSED...yelled at me loud as hell..slammed the door...and didn't talk to me for 3 days. Then he startd to say a few things casually but only 'necessary' things like "pass the water" or whatever...then slowly I saw he wanted to accept me again so I began talking to him and he responded and stuff and then less than a week after I got my piercing, it's as if nothing ever happened. He still pokes fun at me and stuff but he never gets upset about it.
Wait I have an idea...can you show your father a link to this thread so that he can see for himself that those who contributed (most of which whom smoke pot) are compassionate, helping, caring, responsible, and overall positive individuals? Let him browse around and he'll see that some of the ones who smoke the most here, are also the ones who are always doing something, such as working extra hours at work, or things like that...to show that besides our not-so-dangerous hobby, we are regular people who have jobs, families, and other responsiblities in our lives that we take care of maturely and reasonably?
That was very wise and thoughtful letter. Good luck with your father. If he really reads the letter, he will know he has a intelligent son who is not harming himself or anyone in his decision.
