Given what I said and the fact that I'm now a bit older (26), do you think it's worth risking trying to try and get my dad to be more understanding, even if I can't completely change his views?

If he is 100% completely against it, I dont think it would be worth it and could possibly cause more problems... Older people are stuborn and you cant change there minds no matter how many facts you throw at them since its an illegal drug.
If you've already tried to have him accept you and it didnt work, it probably wont this time either.
Just wait till its legal and then you can laugh at him! :]

i dont know about you, but for many people much of the fun of marijuana is the excitement of it all, smoking something illegal, getting high, getting away with it has a feeling of satisfaction that holds no limits 
kinda disagree with you halperdude; there is no thrill in doing something illegal for me and its kind of a bitch not being able to go for a smoke in a park or something like that actually; and the fact that its illegal just gives me paranoia attacks when ive had too much and im in public per say; ovbiously some ppl think they're cool for breaking the law but in my opinion its a bitch that the law and the ppl who made it are ignorant and dont know their facts... wtv wtv..
u know where im going

Really? That's kind of hard to do unless you can prove that you're "many people" as opposed to just one person.
(What I'm saying is that he made a generalized statement, not a specific one.
)I'm also saying that, while there is subjectively good advice in this thread, people need to keep in mind that most of the things they're wanting to hear are coming from 25+ year olds still living at home with the folks. Now, I'm not hating but I do think it needs to be pointed out.

My mother cried when she found out my sister and I smoked weed but then she got over it. She says she will stop us but never sticks to it. I'm just honest with my mother about smoking. I admit to her when the last time I smoked was and my opinions. We may not agree on things but hey its your opinion and this is mine. I have just come to the conclusion that I'm not hiding this because what can and will my mom do. Nothing. I won't smoke in the house if she is around or awake though.

You generalized my friend; i dont reckon most ppl here are 25 year olds that live with their moms.......
so far i've heard pretty good things; i myself have an opinion on what a right balance is and ive got my margins; i know there are things one should never get near by... like heroin or meth for instance;
anyways
i started smoking when I was around 16, and Ive only been caught once. And it was on the day i turned 18.
Me and my twin were having a party at our house since we were turning 18 that day so we got super drunk and super high, it was an awesome night. and when a gorgeous girl wanted to fuck me it was only getting better. So me and my friend left with his girlfriend and the girl who wanted me, but on the way out, a cop stopped us (we were walking). He laughed at me when he took my id and found out i just turned 18 that day, called me a stupid motherfucker and then arrested me and put me in his car.
my parents dont trust me at all now and our relationship has gone pretty downhill since then. and seeing as this only happened like 3 months ago, and ive been caught by them again since then, i dont see it getting any better

Same. That, and I don't live with the rents, so wtf do they care?
I started smoking at 14, told the parents at 16, became a total apparent stoner at 17.
Learn how to draw inferences from context clues. So far at least 2 people in this thread have given information that points to them being around the age of 25 and still living at home with their parents and giving advice to a teenager on how best to discuss illegal activities with his or her parents and bend them to his or her will.
Point blank, it probably won't happen. Your parents won't accept your illegal activities until they don't care about what troubles might befall you or until you're a fully functioning, independent adult that doesn't rely on them for anything but moral support.
I mean, anything's possible... but I'd be willing to put a few dollars down on that bet.
Now, if you just want me to tell you what you want to hear, DGAF, brutha, you're family will come around. Just keep smoking weed for the next couple of years, ride the peaks and valleys and wait until their position regarding drug use kind of levels out.

Jib nailed it.
Obviously no parent is going to be happy to find out their child is doing something that can land them in jail for a long, long time - regardless of their social outlook on the plant. I was lucky enough to have a ex-stoner for a father, but that doesn't mean he condones my smoking, even if he turns a blind eye to it. Neither of my parents *really* left me alone until I moved out, because the control over me is quiet minimal at this point.
That said, when I do stay with the parents for any reason, I keep the drug use on the DL. It's a matter of respect... and at my age, there is no desire to go running around yelling "I smoke pot!" - an outlook of mine that has changed a good bit. I don't run around yelling "I smoke cigs and drink alcohol" - and both of those are legal.

Yeah, the worst part was the cop thought I was my brother. When he came outta his car he was all happy cause he thought I was him and my bro is on probation still for tagging his cruiser with a permanent marker
, so he was pumped to get him for breaching.We live in a small town and pretty much every kid within the ages of 15-22 do drugs and drink, so the cops know us all by name now cause of how many drinking tickets and shit
Dam dude; you do have a point. It is not so much that I want them to just let me because i dont wana be some manipulating littlle bastard; they are my rents after all and i love them; i feel its a little unfair of them not to give me some sort of chance to prove i can smoke and lead a normal life; after all i got solid grades; do sport and have a good relationship with them; but i've made my mind and am gona do my best to follow my word; if i smoke it stays out of the house and when im 18 im coming out with the truth; and again like you say when im a fully functioning adult then i can tell them "see i didnt turn out a pill munching, needle junkie mother fucker"

My only rules is that i'm not allowed to smoke weed in the house, but all my siblings smoke up often like me, even one of the grandmas knows. they have a very vague understanding of what pot does but are still 100% ok with it because even they agree it's better for oneself than alcohol ever could be, plus can put one in a warmer more inviting mindset than the former.
basically I smoke inside all the time and I don't get caught because she smokes cigarettes which I hate so i personally choose to mask the cigarettes with weed smoke... lol I guess she can;t smell the weed through all that tobacco ! haha silent victory!

Is this post a joke?
If your 25 you can do whatever you want.

not on the property of another adult you cant. their house, their rules if they catch you.
if they wanted they could have the police come and arrest you.

Not really but then again i live in LA where it isn't that stigmatized. Doing blow, lucy, molly etc is more of a thrill from an illicit point of view
