That's quite the stipulation, UTD. Don't you hate when parents give you choices like that?! It's either their way or the highway, right? But it's like birdgirl said, you don't want to sacrifice your provisionals until you have a steady foot on your own turf. Of course, you'll flock the nest sooner or later, and you should keep that forefront in your mind. In the meantime, though you should honor your father's words. All parents have their faults and the sooner you realize it the sooner it'll effect you less, because that's just the way they are. Everything will be fine for you, UTD. You have your whole life ahead of you to do with it what you please in regards to smoking cannabis. Just remember you brought you in this world, you little ingrate! lol j/k but something like that...
