thinking of comming out of the weed closet.....

[GetDown]

hey guys,

im 20yrs old, live at home now since i got back from the army, in university right now so cant really afford to move out, though am looking for a decent enough job that will allow me to work while i study,

anyway im getting less carefull bout hiding my smoking, they still dont know but im not being as careful as i used to, in highschool it was easy, we were all scared of being caught, but lately its getting frustrating, like in the middle of the day all i wanna do is go outside and spark up a jay, even a cigarette i cant do, im thinking of just sitting the folks down and telling them,
"look mum, dad, i love you both, you know i am a responsible adult, i like to enjoy smoking marijuana every once and a while, im old enough to understand the consequences and risks, but i enjoy smoking it anyway, im old enough to make my own decisions, etc..... blah blah blah"

what do you guys think? should i come out or should i just stay in the closet, try harder to hide it and then let it all out when i finally move out the house.....

stay in the closet!

i think a good way to 'come out' is to keep it to yourself, make something of your life, and then allow your parents to find out. then that way you can say, "well mom and dad, i'm a pot smoker and have been for many years, but as you can see, i'm am living more than comfortably with my fiance and life couldn't be any better". and they'll be like, "Woahh GetDown! why didn't you let us smoke weed too you ungrateful child. daemon! daemon!"

stay in the closet.

So glad I have never had this issue. Everyone used to come over to my house back in the day cause my parents were one of the few that didn't care as long as we didn't get in trouble or bother them. Niether of them smoke now, pops used to, mom only did a couple times she says. They like the drink a lot more.

Well, it does sound like a good plan.. to just straight up tell them about your smoking.

However, do you think they will freak out? Do you think they'll demand you to stop or move out? Gotta think about these kinds of things. If you think they'll be upset, but eventually okay with it, then I'd take the chance. Otherwise, don't do it, especially while you're living under their roof.

i came out of the closet and now all i hear is from my mom is "why do you smoke?" and " It smells like a pot factory in here!". she asks me why and i tell her that its for my lower back and a pinched nerve in my hip. then she just walks away.

me and my parents have a mutual agreement. basically its not 100% tolerated cause thay kinda know and like i can get baked in my room without getting in trouble but they just dont want to catch me in the act

I say do what you feel is right... I see nothing wrong in having a heart to heart with the parents... you explain a respectfull life and they are to be commended for doing a great job raising you,so with that in my mind I believe they will respect your judgement...

I think for someone who is a 20yr old adult, I think it's time to mature and tell them. Only kids who are afraid of getting caught hide it from mom and dad, but come on man, you're 20yrs old now. You've been to the army, you're in college, so it's not like you've took a wrong turn somewhere. You're a responsible cannabis user and if you tell them that, they might just understand.

It's time to grow up and let them know. Stop hiding it and get that money off your back.

Just tell them that they can live to be 120 by smoking marijuana~!

well if he has money on his back, he can spend it!

i agree, have a good sit down with them. if they have a problem, jsut dont smoke in their house. but no matter how they react, they are still going to respect you.
