Start by encouraging your dad to read the unbiased marijuana info at this site: http://www.erowid.org/. It's very thorough, impressively objective information about the effects of weed and other psychoactive substances.
Also present him with select info from http://www.norml.org/, which is also a good source.

Don't expect to change his closed mind. But take pride in the fact that you may make a slight inroad into its surface. And be proud of the fact that you're learning to establish and argue a valid, important point about the benefits of this substance. You'll get better at these arguments. And more persuasive. And you will be contributing to a good and necessary effort. And maybe just maybe you'll eventually begin changing other minds that are less resistant and more influential.
Who else thinks we should make birdgirl president??? Of everything???
Inferius Reviewed by Inferius on . Need your help... Ok, so about once every couple of weeks, me and my dad get into it about smoking "dope"... we argue and argue and argue and get absolutely no where because my dad is very conservative who is a Bush fan, and basically my dad's only arguement is that its "illegal" and thats why i shouldn't do it. I seriously doubt he knows much more about cannabis than that. I try to inform him because i'm pretty well educated on the whole cannabis related subject but he just doesnt seem to listen to anything i Rating: 5
