I suck at blogging but oh well.

Last Monday my parents found out I smoke marijuana. Well they didn’t find out, I told them. I came home really high and they found a lighter in my jacket so I thought it would be the best time to tell them. I just blurted "I have been smoking marijuana for 3 years". I was sick of having to hide it and I was hoping that they would let me smoke in the backyard or something instead of in public where I could get in shit. Of course how I hoped they would react wasn’t how I knew they would. My parents were shocked. They had no idea I’ve been smoking, especially for that long. All my mother could say to me was “How could you do something so stupid? Do you want cancer? This is unbelievable” etc etc. Then I stayed in my room for the rest of the night because I’m sure they didn’t want to see me. This sucked because it was March break and my mother also took the whole week off. So it was extremely awkward at home.

I was shunned all week. The only thing my mother said about the subject was “I want you to stop.” I’m surprised I didn’t get in deep shit because my parents are all against smoking and drugs, like most are. I was only not allowed to go to the Puscifer concert on Friday which sucked cause I paid for my ticket and my friend’s. But my family talks to me now. No one has mentioned anything about the matter. Now I have to hide my shit even better cause now they will be inspecting me to see if I’ve been smoking. I always kinda thought they knew, but I guess that was just me being a paranoid pothead. It’s a good thing I disposed of my pipe and other evidence at my friend’s house before I got home. I guess now I have the relief of knowing that I can never get into deeper shit, since this is the worst thing I have ever done, in their eyes.

 

Thanks for sharing that story. There is hope though. My parents were strict also and very religious too (still are). Back when we were kids my dad gave us serious shit when he found out. Mostly on moral grounds cause he thought we were still good little christian kids (we weren't). But years later now my dad actually asks for a joint occasionally to, "help with mom's pain", yeah right. Well, OK, there's some truth to it but I know he likes it too. We spent years educating them about the benefits of cannabis, yes smoking it you are ingesting carcinogens, but you are ingesting carcinogens just by breathing polluted air these days. I vape mostly now to eliminate the carcigen intake. This is a good post that explains much of the benefits:

Don't be too mad at your parents, they have just bought into all the government's propaganda that labels pot as bad without any legitimate study or sourcing. This is what most people see and believe. There is altogether too much public trust in what the government says.
