do you live with your parents?

if they dont like that you smoke when you tell them, move out. but dont let it ruin the relationships you have with them.

i guess just be honest.

I have to HIDE MY STUFF from my parents. If you're in cali, get a card, then you can be like "and if you don't care it's legal for me anyway"

my new bubbler is in a spot that's a cast-iron bitch to get to because I'm protecting my investments. I'll never forget watching them throw my bong on the ground in front of me.

my parents found out the hard way by finding my plants along with some weed and two bongs back when I was 15. It was a bit awkward but they didnt really care that much. they didnt even take it away. i mean its weed and not like cocaine or ice u know?
id just tell em if i were u.
peace

I used to run track in high school too anyway.. just let them know you smoke and have been smoking for a while and your still the same person. Its a big of a deal as they make it but tell them its not bad and let them know how it helps you medicinally. It will take a while for them to get used to it probably, but they will get over it someday just give it time and patience and before you know it they will be letting you toke in the garage to keep you from doing it on the streets and risking getting caught. thats what happened with me and my parents.

If you're worried about them taking it wrong, hide all your paraphernalia really well, so you don't lose that hard-earned money buying back a pipe, grinder, bong, etc. (lighters and papers you can afford to lose)

Damn, I am married, in my 30's with my own home too and feel this way still when the family comes over. Making sure everything is away, my eyes are clear and I don't smell. I also hate it when the door bell rings during your bong session and guess who? The family stopping by. I guess this will never go away if your family never approves. Mine knows full well that we smoke (not grow though), but it is another thing to see or smell it I guess.

just tell them straight out, you'll be surprised how many people keep this on the down low.

This is definitly a sticky situation, my parents first found out when I came home from college and had a picture in my phone of a huge jib( A Tulip.) That family Christmas my uncle brought up Mary-Jane and my mom told him to talk to me that I was the "expert." lol. I guess they knew and never really deemed it nessasary to have a chat about it, however I don't live with the parentals. I think your best bet is to talk to your dad or an uncle, that seems like it would break the ice when your mother finds out. Peace bro, keep sparkin it.

My parents would bust me when I was in high school, so they have known since the beginning. I remember the first time, It was 4/20 and I came home and my mom immediately asked if I was high. I have a tough time lying to her so I just said yes. Kinda devastating at 16. I've had plenty of talks the next couple years, whenever I was clumsy with a pipe and left it in a shitty spot.

The funniest was when I was picking up a bag for 4/20 another year, my guy and I just finish smoking when I get call from a familiar number. The high had me in a great mood, my only thought was I recognize this number. So I answer and its my mom asking if I would be home for dinner.
So that ended in me explaining 4/20 to my mother.

After I turned 18 I asked my mom to return the pipe she confiscated, I told her it was important to me the first I had ever bought. So she did, she has since copped to smoking with her group of friends. I have yet to toke with her though.

Be honest, be real, and be respectful of how they feel about it. It takes some balls to clean the secret out of the closet, but it feels great. Liberating.

i feel your pain Chic. I just don't answer my door anymore. My woman's parents are cool with it (her mom sometimes buys from us and her dad rolls us joints for when we come over and visit) but my parents rnt that way. They know i toke and all but we are not open about it and it has definitely hindered my relationship with them. This is why people just need to learn to be honest and accepting. Hopefully when you tell them they won't get mad but instead be tickled pink that you would share that part of your life with them.

come on dude u smoke weed too now tell urself ur gonna stop smokin it

What do you mean by family-like mom dad sister brother? Or extended too? I would say tell them that you have been smoking casually for a while now and that you are the same person you always have been. Explain your views on marijuana calmly and logically- be knowledgeable and responsible. If you can show them that they have nothing to worry about then...well...they probably won't think they have anything to worry about!

On my 16th birthday, around the time I first began smoking pot, I received a gift. an extraordinary gift. it was an ounce of headies...I mean weed I have never even fathomed. I got it from my cousin. I have the sandwich bag in my backpack and was going to my friends house because we were throwing a party together.

my mom went into my bag and found the bud. my dads brother was a drug addict so he flipped shit completely. he flushed it and while he was in the bathroom I screamed, "DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT KIND OF MONEY YOUR FLUSHING DOWN THAT TOILET???"

yeah shit was weird I don't really think about it. they have caught me other times with bowls and shit..I don't really care anymore. this is the first time I've thought about this shit in a while actually.

I told them the first time they caught me that I like to smoke pot, I don't do it a lot, I hate alcohol, all of this shit to make them feel better about me smoking. they didn't buy it and 'grounded' me for four weeks.

 

[yourname]

never tell your parents!!!!!!!Deny,deny,deny it never goes good then they question you all the time

 

[fukdapolice]

come on dude u smoke weed too now tell urself ur gonna stop smokin it

nah.. i did somethin bout it. when i lived with my mom, she knew i smoked, she knew i drank, and i knew she aint like it.. but wat can she do? ima make my own decisions, i live with wat happens to me.

i moved out, i dont have to worry about any1 comin around n seein me smoke.

i was just sayin, if you feel that it will hurt them that much, then you have a decision to make.

You are a very strong person to bring up the topic and responsibly talk about it to your parents with nothing to evoke the conversation but you wanting to discuss it. I have talked to my parents before because they approached me after finding things. I know it illegal, and my dad always reminds me to "be safe and keep it out of sight." and my mom just tries to look away or avoid the situation. So they know, and they know I know they know. its cool. kind of an unspoken thing, but they don't really mind too much. I guess as long as I'm passing my classes its all good.
