Drugs And Parents [MEGA-MERGED]

my parents weren't totally "cool with it" but they realized they couldn't exactly stop me, so they sort of made sure i took it easy, and didn't over do it. i used to skin up with my mum sometimes though lol.
 
this is my thought on it, even though my mom doesn't see it my way. if your parent(s) did drugs back in the day, then, they have absolutely no right to tell you not to do it. that's bull shit and hypocritical. it's like this: when i have kids, i can advise them on things about drugs if they come to me, but i can't really tell them, "don't do it", because i'd be a hypocrit and i never wanna' be that way.
 
people learn from their mistakes with drug use and should absolutely inform or at least advise others i.e. children not to make the same mistakes they did.

If your dad raped a teenager back in the day, he has no right to tell you not to rape someone, right?


Yeah yeah, rape != drug use. Whatever, stoners.
 
^ your point is more than valid. I think it is ridiculous when drug users say "when I have kids I can't tell them to stay away from drugs because I used drugs when I was a kid." I was addicted to daily opiate use, but does that mean I would allow my son/daughter to use opiates daily? no. I would explain to them the dangers of addiction and explain to them I do not want them to make the same mistakes I made; how redundant would that be?

my parent (mother) is what we would call a straight-edge. she used to drink wine or a whiskey sour sometimes at dinner, now she hardly drinks with meals anymore. however, I maintain a very close relationship with my mother and I tell her everything about my past, including my drug use and addiction. I don't hide anything from her. currently, she knows all I do now is drink and I used to smoke pot before I had to pass drug tests.

I believe you should be open to your parents about your substance use, that way they can be open right back at ya. close mindedness only breeds close mindedness.

Uh... if anything it actually makes less sense if your parents DIDN'T do drugs, because then they wouldn't have experienced it and would not nearly as qualified to make those decisions for you. If anything, they just don't want to see you go through what many people (and quite possibly your parents themselves) end up going through before you realize what a waste of money and life it can lead to (in their eyes, anyways).

My dad has talked with me about his young days doing drugs, which he ending up losing many friends to. Although I really cannot agree with him when he says acid is the stupidest of drugs cuz it just makes you see shit. On the many occassion's I've done acid, the visuals pretty much take a back seat to all the thoughts going through my mind. In my opinion acid and other psychedelics are probably the least stupid drugs to take, because it can be very intellectually and spiritually rewarding, whereas most other drugs are purely or almost purely hedonistic

My mom on the other hand, I've told her I smoke weed once in a while and she's alright with it... what she doesn't realize is I do weed less often than I do what would be considered by society to be "harder" drugs - namely acid, e, or coke, but still nothing i've made a habit out of. However, something came up where she got suspicious of other use and I denied it, but I no longer live with them so I asked whether she would actually care all that much if I indulged my curiosity of chemicals. She told me she would rather never know about it because it would break her heart, and I don't want to do that :(
 
I have a very odd position with my parents and drugs.

By the time I was thirteen (too young, if you were to ask me now) I had mingled with a few psychadelics and was smoking pot regularly. Of course at thirteen logic isn't your most useful tool on hand; after a few months of this I had been caught red handed. It took a relentless two years of confiscated marijuana, paraphanellia and many, many hours of interrogation to condition my parents to tolerance.

The humerous part is in the midst of all of this, I was pinching my father's sacks.

By fifteen I was smoking crystal excessively, and stealing my parents' money; sometimes by the hundreds. After two trips to rehab, a culmination of drug use and insanity, a misdermeanor and countless lies, I'm sure you wouldn't be surprised to hear that they had lost all tolerance to drug use... Nah.

Both my parents now know I smoke pot regularly and are, for the most part, very cool with it. This didn't happen over night. It took 6 long months of sobriety and hours of brutally intellectual conversation and debate. Oddly enough, my mom will still confiscate bits and pieces of my contraband here and there, only for me to convince her to give it back. Why? I don't know.

As a responsible drug user, I still understand why some parents do not allow drug use under their roofs. I'm a somewhat successful college student, as well as an employee who supports his own habits. I do not neglect my parents, and make sure they are aware of my appreciation and respect for their generosity (ie food and shelter). I know many, many drug users (friend or foe) who are nothing like this.

Me and my parents totally get high together just about every day. We have this room in our basement that we hotbox the shit out of quite often. I'm open with my drug use and they know that I've done shrooms and are totally fine with it.

They have certain rules/guidelines that they would prefer for me to follow which are a)no driving while stoned
b) no working while stoned

I've generally followed them because I respect their judgement but what they don't know won't hurt 'em.
 
Im glad my father doesnt accept any sort of drug use. If he was completely cool with me doing whatever i wanted, id be dead. It sorts a sort of, guideline, of how much i can use so that i will be sure to avoid all situations that will end up in me being cuaght.

However, now that i have slowed down considerably and only take vicodin (occasionally some other opiate) i wish he was cool with that. But yet, he doesnt need to know because its not hard to hide it from him.
 
both my parents smoked weed, so they're comfortable with me using it. Not sure how they would feel about other psychadelics, but we'll save that for when i try them.

Yeah I wanna remark on this. When I was in school and started "dabbling" with weed and acid, my parents of course found out. Well after talking to them about it, they admitted that they used to be hippies and smoked a lot of pot and hash, but that was it. I asked if they ever did anything else, and they said no. Well, all I could think of, even at that young age, was "well then how can you possibly tell me what it does or doesn't do then?" I mean, obviously they were no strangers to THC, but they were ignorant to just about everything else.

So I set out to experiment with and try out everything else that's common out there (and some of the uncommon ones ;)). My reasoning was that, knowing how much it upset me that my parents were trying to tell me things about acid that they had no fucking clue about, I wanted to be able to tell my own kids someday from firsthand experience what is good, bad, safe, dangerous, boring, worthless, etc.

I'm approaching my 30s now, and while I don't have any kids yet, I still feel the same way. If you've never done something before, then how DARE you tell me anything about it.

I have every right in the world to tell my kids not to do something I've done before. I've done it before! It doesn't make me a hypocrite, it makes me a grown adult that knows more than an inexperienced child.

On a related note, I can't wait to toke up with my future son. I will do everything in my power to teach my kids to never take that first drag off a cigarette, and to try to convince them to smoke pot instead of drink.
 
My mom and I smoke weed and she tell's me crazy stories from the 60-70s
about acid coke and heroin, and the things people have done with it... its crazy

at first i thought she was stupid and then i found out she smokes
 
My parents don't condone any drug use, and my mother especially is against drugs/alcohol :( However, I do have some friends whose parents let us smoke/smoke with us. My one friends father I have smoked with many times, and at first it was a bit weird, but then I thought about it, and realized smoking marijuana isn't the worst thing in the world.
 
My family is extremely conservative in regards to any drug or alcohol use. I was sent to various rehabs from 16 to 18 for marijuana and alcohol alone. They pretty much gave up once they found out about meth though......
