You must ask yourself what kind of people are my parents? By that i mean open to opinions other than their own or narrow minded. If its the latter then just lie, lie, lie-ignorance deserves not to know the truth as by its very nature when it sees truth it sticks its fingers in its ears and goes la la la. But if only one parent (only one is necessary) is open minded and tolerant in personality to things it doesnt approve of (eg.faggots like moi) utilize this situation.

Things to say to an open minded parent: I told you the truth because i respect you and feel that lying demeans our relationship,
Explain the benefits of cannabis use and the drawbacks,
Explain why you use it,for what purpose,
Ask them their fears in relation to this substance and you( it helps to have reasearch and scientific literature to combat their arguements and support your point) lay those fears to rest,
If you dont drink alcohol use that as an explaination,
But most of all if they never listen to reason ie. religiously brainwashed or believe everything in the newspaper, why would they now?

My advice is dependent on the personalities of your parents-you know them better than anyone. just remember no course of action is effective in every situation so analyse your parents. i find tidying up shuts my mothers mouth when she moans about pot-if in doubt gett your tounge up both their bums
