instead of lying to my parent(s), i just tell them the facts

I say yeah, i smoke weed

then i ask "do you see me getting drunk every friday and satuday night?" their answer is no

then i ask "do you see me falling asleep in a pool of vomit, or vomiting non stop into a toilet, then spending the next day hungover?" their answer is no

then i ask "do you see me getting drunk and crashing my car, getting into fights, or breaking the law when drunk?" their answer is no

then i ask "how many times have you seen or heard of people dying from alcohol poisoning or dying while drink driving etc?" obviously theyve seen or heard of that happening

then i ask "have you ever heard of anybody dying from smoking weed?" their answer is no

then, i show them sites like cannabis.com, erowid, etc and show them the REAL truth about weed

thats what we should all be doing.. not hiding the fact that we smoke weed because people think its wrong, but being proud that we smoke weed and teaching people the real truth

but hey, each to his own
