your dad just probably did a 180 cuz he caught shit for what you were doing, which i don't think should be a factor in this at all... i mean you couldn't of possibly calculated the risk of it all, but you definately dont' want to shove a wedge between your mother and father... i think you need to have a convo with your dad, about what he feels is right and wrong, and about not just 'fronting' becuase someone important to him feels diffrently then he does.. i also think you need to tell your mom (and yes i'm typing this) to research it for herself, to not just believe the first thing she reads, but research the internet, including govt. bullshit, and norml funded AND APPROVED STUDIES... with so much information flowing back and fourth between the world these days, it can be hard to find what is real, and what is made up... but more usually then not, the study that seems to repeat itsself with the same results over and over (in example: alcohol is more damaging both to the mental psyche and physical body than marijuana is) are more than likely true... especially if funded by completely diffrent sides of the spectrum (i'm making this one up, as it's the only one that sums up every govt. against marijuana) "coalition against mairjuana" and other studies formed by companies and orginsations for marijuana have confirmed this finding...

this is a side note for anyone reading, i'm using pure examples as i can't be bothered (thanks lip, easier then saying i dont' feel like doing it, research for yourself you lazy bastards) to go and find actual case studies that confirm one and another even tho they're on completely diffrent sides of the specturm.

if facts wont' work, then nothing will, period. i can't stress this enough, if someone is so anti-pot that they refuse to listen to any other argument then the ones force fed down their throats for so long, that they won't listen, just to both sides of the story, then nothing you can possibly do is going to make them accept it.... being kicked out sucks, yes, but sometimes being forced to move on is for the best... where you go, what you do is on you, do i actually think they're goign to end up making you leave? no... bu ton the slight case they are, unless you're willing to change everything about you, you just aren't fitting to live with them anymore...

parents don't always agree with what kids do, hell they rarely ever do.... even if that thing they are against is something they did themselves as a kid... more often then not, they think they've gone through some miraculous epiphinay and think they know what's best for you, but mostly, they are just trying to make your life better then theirs was, and can you really blame them? if you had a kid, would you want to make them go through the same pain as you did as a child? of course not, ultimately, you have to realize you're parents are there, mostly to protect you from evil, and anything they find evil, they will do their damnedest to fight against....

can you really blame them for that? it's sad, that an ordinary herb(well ordinary if it weren't for govt.'s of all countries) trying to tell us said herb is bad, splits up families as it does... but it happens and you just happen to be one of the unlucky ones to experience it...

~~~~~~~~~~if you read nothign else of my post read this~~~~~~~~~~~

above all you have to realize your parents are trying to look out for the best for you, they're not trying to just be killjoys and take what you like from you for the hell of it, they see it fit to seperate you from said thing, and you must commend/respect them for that... belive it or not, this is what your parents believe, and they're just trying to protect you, no matter how badly you think they're just trying to ruin your fun... i never had parents, but i know this.... i am now a parent myself, and realize everything i hear about here, and how kids feel about their parents, what the parents must really think about it all... the only way you can get through to these feelings they feel is protecting you, is to show them proof, and honestly, the only way anyone is ever going to believe anything, is if they see it for themselves. about something such as this, that means researching the facts for themselves, as they'll probably just refuse to believe anything you say, or show them....
