It's not worth it.
Plus, they'd prolly kick you out.

How can you even BEGIN to act like you know what you are talking about? This is my life, not yours not anyone elses. My dad has "caught" me with pot, and seeds before (i accidentally left it out and he goes in my room to use my computer sometimes) and he asked me about them and I didn't lie and he just lectured me on hows it's illegal and whether or not it should be legal, it still has major reprocussions. and I know that.

I'm 18, but ALL my friends are 21-37 years old, except a few girls who are 17 19 and 19.

So I'm not some sheltered little kiddy, i know what im talking about, so leave me alone. I know i was a little extreme when i said id reck up the place just for them taking my pipe. but thats how it goes in the real world. try stealing something from some of my buddies and you'll be lucky to get out with a broken face, and say goodbye to anything you have on you and if you really piss em of then whatever your driving is gonna be drivable anymore.

My parents are very understanding and they know I can take care of myself better than they can take care of me now. All because they did a really good job of raising me.

You need to chill, show some respect, and perhaps not be so quick to tell others how they ought to react. And before you tell me to go jump in a lake, young man, watch your step. I'm one heck of a lot older, smarter, and better educated than you, and I'm one of the folks around here who's working hard at improving the level of discourse, maturity and intelligence on these boards.

Things can be changed. They can be changed with intelligent, rational persuasion. And when kids move out of their parents' house, they can also make lots of those changes. Till then, even when they pay rent, they generally have to abide by the rules of the house. I'm a mom in my mid-40s and am cool about grass, but not all parents are like that, as you know. Most of them are just reacting out of fear. They buy into all the "gateway" stuff because they don't know any better. Later when you get to be a parent, you'll probably have a better understanding of their perspective. Frankly, for some kids with strong addiction genes, it very likely IS a gateway drug. They can't become addicted to MJ itself, but they can use it on their way to stuff that's much more destructive.

By the way, that UCLA study wasn't all that extensive. It was indeed a study that seemed to reveal no link between MJ use and lung cancer. But in order to establish that as fact, they'd have to do a long-term study over decades, which wasn't what that was. I'm going to do a search at the medical library over the weekend to see what I can find on it to post here. And by the way, UCLA is a fairly good school. But it's not generally listed among the top 5 in academic or scientific rankings.

Just to let you know i have been on here for 2 years straight, quite alot longer than you infact.

You're right about that actually, but you have to agree that it does give more evidence than was used to prohibit marijuana, therefore it can be used as a VERY valid arguement against anti-pot propagandists. Thats all i was infering so you dont have to try and debase my points just because you dont like me.





and sorry about the triple post hah.

This is what makes us "bad mannered creeps" so bad mannered. It's because we post an opinion or situation that should really only affect us, and the person it's directed toward, and people like you come in and start acting like know it all's and trying to . I don't claim to know everything but I've experienced more than most people. Alot more. I've been through almost every social spectrum and while I may not be as acedemically inclined as you claim to be. We all live here together DEAL WITH IT. I mean, you wanna censor my opinions and thoughts just because YOU don't like them, how selfish is THAT????????

It is indeed good evidence! You're right about that.

And I promise I won't try and debate your points or give you any further trouble. You're actually quite intelligent, and I'm glad to hear you've been on longer than I. The way you spout facts and points makes me feel like you might make a good attorney some day! You must have changed your name or signed up anew because your post count is so low.

Hey! WHO SAID I didn't like you???? Not me! I actually rather do. And the way you've responded to these more recent emails has given me some newfound resect! Let me know if you ever want to talk about law school . . .

sarcastically disagree with any part in particular? lol

but i really just meant that in my life, my parents know that i smoke pot, all my friends know it too. im sure half the town knows it because i smell like it wherever i go. this town isn't very anti-pot, but thats cause its a college town and were in the perfect spot, right between mexico and california, so the bud flows like water here.

so if my dad were to take my bubbler and break it (almost a $200 piece of glass) or one of my pipes then i would flip out and break something very near and dear to him of the same value to show him that the rules in my world are an eye for an eye. im an adult i can make my own descisions. if he kicked me out for it then fine, he would be doing me a huge favor seeing as he wont let me leave because i help him at the store he owns (and by help i mean keep it afloat). So the situation im in is that my dad needs me to stay, and i wanna leave so that i can finally start my life, but for now im stuck. so if he doesnt like the things i do in my life then............tough shit:)

sorry about this, i get mad when i feel like im being classified as one of the little kids who spam these forums.



i must just have a bad temper and a low tolerance for criticism or something damn. now that i think about it i often go back and re-read posts that were a little to harsh and realize how confrontational i am.

her parents fucking suck!!! dude, like... run away with her or something.

Being you're 18, pay rent, you should be entitled to a certain amount of privacy. I also don't think it would be cool to break a $200.00 piece.
BUT.....revenge the way you describe it seem to be beneath your sensibilities.
I would like to imagine you as a maturing adult but you take away from that when you tell me how you and your friends like to bust things up. It came off to me as goonish.
We all have out lots in life hon. If I told you mine, you'd probably ask for a hanky. So, I may not "know you" but I know much. I'm old. lol

Well this is just another situation where id didn't fully elaborate. All my friends are pretty good people who dont steal too much, dont fight too much and we are generally REALLY chill people. but i said that we would do that stuff if someone stole something from us first. we try to be morally upright, like one time my best friends favorite girl (not a g/f but close) found a camera recording her and here very young (10 yo or something) daughter in the bathroom, so we went over there and recorded us taking a bat to his face....he was trying to make money off of extreme videos and instead i made $100 bucks for submiting it online as a site similar to break.com (formerly big-boys.com). it was a fun night of pervert ass-whooping.:p

Im trying to get my mom to understand that weed aint dangerous, Its damn hard

Show her some proof, Divo. Print out some of these good studies people link to on here. Show her you're responsible and that it doesn't affect you in a bad way. You can probably make some progress . . .

You have a better shot than most,you have an open repore... I say don't try so hard to convince but,work at being a good person,Mom will see it and the cannabis wall will start to crumble,especially if she has the notion or knowledge that you smoke...

I would take Birdgirls advice but,I would not flat out debate her "sum or most will disagree" gradually have here find it if you can be that cunning would be my approach...

Good luck!!!

The gateway theory's been disproven. Her parent's suck major ass.

I feel sorry for you and your girl. That is just about how my mom reacted when she found out I was toking. God I am glad I don't live at home anymore. Anyway, where there is a will there is a way. Find a way to talk to your g/f. Find out where she is doing her community service and go see her while she is doing her stuff.

Happy Toking :rasta:

wow this is great

I will guarantee it....unless you're some dumb ass kid who thinks printing out posts from this message board is what i meant by pro pot lit.)


The UCLA just released an EXTENSIVE study that PROVED that even the heaviest marijuana smokers are not at an elevated risk for developing lung cancer. That's pretty god damn convincing in my opinion, seeing as how its one of the top 5 schools in North America.

It NEVER hurts to try....but like it says in someones signature...."The only thing evil needs to triumph is for good to sit by and do nothing!" which is very true.

So PLEASE, get a clue and think before you post from now on.:o

look dude i wasnt saying theres no hope i just think that me wanting to smoke weed is less important than knowing that ill have somewhere to sleeo at night. Seriously Free Room and Board + Free Food. As much as i enjoy smoking weed I would prefer all those things over it. And don't preach to the choir we're all here cus we like weed :p
Obviously u had me very mistaken.
James

that really sucks, im sorry
