Talking to Parents

[Verde Es Dios]

Well I'm 16 and smoke all the time really. I've talked to my mom about it and I think shes pretty cool with it, but i'm not so sure about my Dad. So can people help me with positive things to tell them about it? My older sister drinks all the time and my dad doesn't care as long as shes safe. I think he'll be okay if I do it safely and my grades don't drop. I've told him that you can't OD on smoking etc. Just the things that parents freak out about. So is there anything else I can say positive about herb to my dad when I talk to him

You'll have to go easy on your dad. He's been told, like many others, so many bad things about marijuana. Perhaps you can keep it underwraps and in time continue on living in a healthy, normal way and then after a good long time has passed bring up the conversation again. Time reveals all and if he sees that you're not going to turn into some punk/monster or enter a gateway into all kinds of other drugs and trouble he'll be more persuaded to accept your side of the coin. My parents absolutely despised marijuana and no amount of arguing could persuade them otherwise....but as I grew up and maintained a healthy, happy and productive lifestyle they eventually began to realize that mary's not so bad. Good luck and Peace! Oh yeah, and remember that you dad loves you and only wants whats best for you so be patient and avoid conflict with him at all costs....slow and steady wins the race.....you've reminded me of something.....

Scribbled on a bar bathroom's wall:

I f#@ked your mother

Just make sure you stress that your grades will stay the same or will rise.
