And this may not get me many fans here...but minors posting about smoking bud doesn't help the legalize marijuana campaign much either. -shrugs-






Intellectually I would say no. However, I really understand your inner conflict over this. I got in BIG trouble when I was in HS for smoking weed, I quit for about 3 months and then started again. I was just much sneakier the second time around. However, I wouldn't risk the humiliation of failing a drug test if it had come to that...

Why dont you be clean for a few months, prove to your parents that you respect them and their wishes, and then when the heat dies down a little see how you're feeling about it then? And if you decide to smoke again I would just make damn sure that my parents would NEVER find out.

Good luck, Ozzy.
Excellent post!
