"You start off with a little bit, and want more and more" (I've smoked the same amount for years)
"It is very addictive. You cannot give up" (What nonsense!)
"I know, I worked on a drug treatment ward for two and a half years, I detox them" (I've smoked for almost 4 years)
"It makes you so paranoid, you can't walk outside because you think everyone's staring at you" (Again, never had this problem because of weed, its because of my Aspergers and I've always had it!)

God what a fucking idiot. I just kept quiet while he goes on and on about the same thing. He's always on about drug addicts, all the fucking time. But he always fails to mention the very serious gambling addiction that destroyed his marriage. My mum said that he thinks he knows it all, and "Gambling addicts don't exist do they?" she actually told him she wants to try some ganja!
Don't disrespect your pops like that man, if anything he's being a father, and ignorant or not about weed, he's still right in the sense that your doing illegal shit. U could still get locked up for being affiliated with the so-called "drug". And although I agree with some of your arguements, I still think that, as long as you live with him (that's if you do), keep it on the low. Why stress him out? Be smart about the situation and don't give the rest of us a bad name....
