do your parents know, care?

[yankeesgirl83]

i read somewhere that the love for smoking weed is hereditary, is this true?

I don't know if smoking weed is hereditary, but addictive substances in general are genetic, i think. Both my parents used to smoke now just my mom. My brother also smokes. My grandfather was an alcoholic and so is my aunt. My grandmother's not an alcoholic, but she drinks more than an average woman should. My uncle gets incredibly beligerent when he gets drunk so he stays away from it, but if he didn't make himself, I think he'd be an alcoholic. My brother's the same as my uncle when he's drunk.

It's genetic, but it's also self-medication. I can say all that stuff about my family and we seem like weak people, but I can also say mental health is poor in my family. Bipolar, ADHD, depression, breakdowns- we have it all. In someways I guess we're aiming to numb it with smoking or alcohol.

I was surprised reading threads around here because there's a lot of threads about how to get people out of situations with their parents or something. both my parents smoke weed regularly , my sister does, I do, both sides of the family recreationally do, and we are a pretty well off family financially, unlike most Rating: 5
