NO no NO,
Fuck that, they have gone beyond reason, your dad beat the fuck out of you for the substances you choose to put in your body, he didn't try and understand why you do it, but instead selfishly flung a remote at your head to hurt you..........and then proceeded to beat the shit out of you while your mother looked on, almost saying she thought that u deserved that treatment for your heinous crime of being a 'junkie'. I disagree with chris about trying to get them to understand about how weed isn't that bad and educating them on the scientific basis that weed in comparison to other psychoactives pales in comparison on effect:side effect ratio. The main active constituent of cannabis, THC, has a guesstimated LD50 (the dose at which half the test subjects died) it's monumentally high. The therapeutic index of THC is a ratio of 1:40,000, one being the amount needed to achieve a high, and 40,000 being the amount required to overdose, apart from this, the history of marijuana use stems way way back, several thousand years of usage and not 1 recorded fatality that has occured directly from overdose, sure sum ppl hav gotten so battered that they may have wrapped there car around a tree, or stumbled over a cliff (dunno how this would happen, personally). Your parents haven't a fucking clue what they are talking about, and you shouldn't waste your time 'respecting' these ignorant shitheads, who must think they know the answers to the universe to justify beating the fuck out of you for smoking some weed. It must be a really shit time for you, how the ppl you thought would never do you wrong in life, ure parents, betray your trust over something they don't understand, you could educate and try and help them understand which, over time would eventually happen with all the scientific evidence supporting the uses of cannabis, of which they couldn't turn a blind eye too, and then they would come around and everythin will go back to happy families. But it still happened, they said they don't give a fuck about there son/daughter, they kicked the shit out of you, and shredded any support they may have given you in the past by saying that you won't amount to 'much', 'much' obviously being what they are, ignorant bastards, who despise any1 who doesn't share there viewpoint, a very good example of humanity as it stands throughout history. If I were you (and could afford it) I would move out, just because they are your parents gives them no right to think they are better than you, they may be older and know how to set up a mortgage, pay bills, etc. but all of this does not make you better than the man living on the street. In the eyes of society, yes you are a success, but as this example of selfishness and misunderstanding has proven, they are no better than the man who didn't amount to 'much', they are close minded fuck ups trying to physically force there opinions on you (an opinion without basis) so to put it bluntly
GO BOLLOX.
Assess the situation, don't look at them as your parents, just as ppl, would you rather live with people who you can't be yourself around due to fear and moral obligation? or would you rather go sumwhere where you can be who you wanna be?
So which would you be happier in?
Remember, its you who has to live your life.
