Parents and Mary-Jane

After a long time of my father knowing, my mom just found out that I am a stoner. We talked, at first she was freaking out, but then I gave her the facts, and even offered it to her whenever she was in pain from work. I pretty much convinced her when I said:

"Mom, it's a harmless plant that God put on this green earth"

Having a Christian family kicks ass I must say, she was kinda fine with it... I could tell that she was still worried though, and she gave me the rule of buying no more than $20 worth at once.

Then I left the house and came back with 5 grams of 5 different strains.

So anybody got stories of when their parents found out?

You are lucky, very very lucky.

If my parent's found out, I would be kicked out.

Dad knew, wasnt too bad about it. Mom knows, doesnt really care.

hey, thought I would share my own story here as well. my parents found a bag of weed in my room. dad wanted to send me a rehab right away. my brother fortunately covered for me and said it was his bag. he had to move out that day and i got off scott free. kinda nice but a huge bummer at the same time.
the bright side was my bro got his own place and i eventually was at his new place all the time. my bro and i are still very close to this day. but in my parents eyes drugs meant rehab, jail, no exceptions. i would sneak in the house at night all hella baked just praying. "please lord let me get too my room unnoticed, thank you jesus."

Age 15 year old richierich..........................long time ago over 10 yrs now.

when my mom caught me the first time she basically said "if your gonna be doing something like that id rather you do it at my place then somewhere i dont know whats gonna happen to you" so every since then, about 3 years ago, i just toke at my place and shes fine with it. "pick your battles" she says. she knows i wont drink cuz of the abundance of alcholism in my family so shed rather pot than being like my alchoholic father. i even got her medicinal marijuana eventually but she hardly uses her recommendation any more which is sad...but yeah im pretty lucky my moms cool with it.

I remember when my mom found out...we were at dinner with her and her friend and she asked me if I had ever smoked a blunt, and I said yeah.

From then on(that was like...years)..I smoke her out all the freakin' time.

My dad and I have never been close, I see him like twice a year...last time I stayed at his house...over a year or so ago..my boyfriend and I went for a walk to smoke, and I realized I couldn't go for a walk without inviting my dad. So I invited him along, lit up a joint with no warning....and he took a hit.

So yeah, my folks are chillll with it.

In fact my mom is so chill with it..that when she came to visit me 3 weeks ago she bought me an 8th.
She said she wanted half, but then she ended up giving me the whole thing anyway!

I keep trying to get my mom to use medical pot due to the debilitating back pain from a car crash and the debilitating emotional pain from her losing a husband, but she keeps whining about how she could lose her law license, which is fuckin bullshit, like theres gonna be a bunch of DEA agents bustin into the house as she takes her first hit... lol DROP THE JOINT AND PUT YOUR HANDS UP. It would help her more than the wellbutrin and the tramadol and the Ibu and the vicodin and all that shit that she takes for the pain.

She's just being cautious, GreenD. What sounds like a great idea to you is understandably less appealing to a professional adult. And if, in the very unlikely event that she did get busted or even seriously accused, the state bar could indeed pull her bar card or sanction her license or even just append a notation to her bar number saying such a thing had occurred. She's a well-educated adult, and I think she's wise not to take that risk. I'm more than a year and a half away from taking my first medical board exams--and 3 1/2 years away from graduating. And as crazy as it may sound to a young person, I won't risk smoking weed even now. Haven't since early last August before I began school when Bess had the last of her medical mj. It wouldn't do my husband's medical license or reputation any good to have a wife who took that risk. And it's important to me as someone who's going to take an oath to be ethical and beneficial in my practice of medicine to be completely above reproach about doing anything illegal, even while I'm in school.

Your mom's just doing the same thing. And someday, you'll admire her for that. Try and give her a break, OK?

Well I guess you may be right, but the risk of getting caught is so low, compared to the benefits she would reap if she smoked some of this blueberry or matanusk i had this week.
