Well, i just told my mom that i am a recreational smoker. And surprisingly it went over pretty good. But i need some advice on what to do next.

First, to understand my situation, i'm 18yrs old and am about to move away to college this fall. I have been smoking for 6 months regularly and have never been caught or suspected of smoking. I went through the phase of at first smoking occasionally, then smoking everyday for about 2 months, and now back to just on the weekends.

My parents are big time conservatives and christians, and have never touched the good shit in thier lives. But they have always been extremely against anything illegal and even more against weed because it 'kills ur brain and makes u lazy and useless.'

So i countered my moms arguement with, I smoke because it helps me sort out life. It helps me think about things in a different way and decide what I am going to do once I go to and graduate college. She ended the arguement with 'well, i am going to think about all this for 2 weeks, and at the end of the 2 weeks i am going to decide whether or not you should: a.tell your dad or b. continue being a responsible user and hopefully one day stop. (she still doesn't and will never approve of it but will allow it if it helps me)

So now for the big problem, my dad. Hes open minded about some things but even more against weed than my mom. I know if i tell him the first thing he'll say is 'your not living in this house or going to college if you smoke weed.' And after he says that he won't listen to anything i say.

So, does anybody have any ideas on what i should or say to my dad? Because most likely my mom will feel guilty and end up telling me to tell my dad about it.
