Drugs And Parents [MEGA-MERGED]

I definately know my dad is not cool about drugs. The first time i got stoned he just kept interogating me, "whats wrong with you? I am tired! Why are you tired in the middle of the day? what ever youve had i dont like it" etc.
My mum is kinda the same but she mainly just doesnt want me to get psychosis again and again but she is somewhat tolerant, i used to go back to her house wasted.

As for some of you guys parents being worried about your marijuana use turning into heroine or crack use, they do have some point to make. It happend to me and some others i know.
 
My parents turn a blind eye to pot, they obviously know but don't care- smoke with my dad and give him joints whenever his bach aches. They busted me with coke once and I told them about using pharm pills before which of course they were not happy about, my pops used to be some bigtime cokehad in his 20s-30s though so he didn't get TOO mad or even take away the yeyoh but instead sat me down and explained all the dangers and real health damage it does to you. I repect him for that and I don't use coke anymore either, dirty shit. They worry more about my alcohol consumption now even though I only drink once or twice per week and (have not, never will!) driven drunk.

Just goes to show, talking to your kids about drugs REALISTICALLY does a lot more then scare tactics or authoritarian BS.
 
Never really spoken of in my family, but my parents know I do, and have done a lot of `bad` things, and they just would rather not know the details.

They know of people I grew up with who have died from over doses and others whose drug use has lead to crime then prison, but we never really speak of such issues- there`s an underlying, unspoken agreement that it`s just not discussed. I guess they trust me enough to keep it under control.
 
Around here either your parents are cool with it or they are absolutely against it.


My friends dad found out he was smoking pot again with me so his dad came to the school walked into his class room and pulled him out saying matt was going to get some much needed help. He didnt go to the office or anything. Now my friend is in an out of state rehab clinic for smokin weed.:(
 
My parents are only cool with it (marijuana use) because I am an adult with a successful career. I was not open with any drug use as a teen. My dad would have kept me on a tighter leash than he did. I would not have wanted them to condone it. Not cool.

I appreciated having a friend who parents let us get wasted at their home (they were drunks). I also felt sorry for the whole family unit.

my mum doesnt mind my pot use, but she REALLY worries about evrything else - she knows she cant stop me from using, but she never fails to try and get me to quit evrything
my dad cant even stand me smoking pot cos he used to and he thinks it ruined his mental health, wen i went on to meth and heroin he refused to see me cos he cudnt take seeing me killing myself i guess
 
Well my mom is compltely against drugs, so she's not too happy about my drug use..

My stepdad, on the other hand, is a lot cooler about it. He knows I smoke, he doesn't care. I once sat down with him after tripping on shrooms and appologized for stealing vicodin from him (shrooms will make you feel bad about shit, ya know?). Also, about 14 hours after dropping acid he kinda noticed I was acting a little strange and I flat out told him I took a blotter and he just laughed.

He doesn't like me drinking though ....
 
My parents let me smoke pot but all other things are off limits. Especially liquor and heroin. Heroin because it was my worst addiction of my life, and liquor because they say im a totally different person..... I am an asshole to them when drunk.
 
My mom caught me smoking pot once and thought it was the first and only time. She flipped out and started crying and gave me a lecture. She dont know shit about my drug use which has included tons of psychedelics, weed, and a little bit of coke.

She did weed and shrooms in her 20's and 30's. I cant wait till I get outta college and tell her bout all the times ive been tripping right in front of her and she didnt even notice. I wanna be honest but I dont want to send myself to boot camp right now.

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.

Word.

My dad knows, or knew. And i only told him out of sufference, being 16 and fucked on drugs, cause he asked, and cause i was desperated for help. :\ But he was ok with it, i stopped briefly after i told him, this was 2 years ago. I kept taking shit after that, i think he kinda knew, cause i used to tell him about some prevoius friends who kept fucking me over for their drug habbits. But he never said anything, only kept reminding me he was there, and that he hoped i was being responsible. Which i always kept in mind, thats probably why i never touched needles. i couldnt live with the guilt (hes very anti IV use, just worried i spose) But iv quit drugs now, and its gr8 not living with guilt, and its great having a dad or parent to tell shit too. being honest is the best thing i ever did. But my mum, i duno, i think she had an idea a few years bak, she couldnt not. id go out 2 raves all w/e come home on a sunday and be dead til tuesday. :\ she never said anything tho. only that she hopes im not taking drugs. shes a pharmacist, sooo i think id be off 2 rehab if she ever found out. although im older and wiser now, so i think as you get older and look back, parents might understand. *shrugs*
 
My parents cool with weed.
They used to be cool with other things in the past.
After several hospitalization in different hospitals (rehabing/detoxing is very hard and painful when you dont wanna quit n they force you to do), they figured hospitals did suck n didnt work for me. So they started keepin me at home. They didnt let me go outside, even for a walk or somethin. I had very fucked up times when I couldnt get out n score. At least, they told me, I could do codeine or any other weak opiate, if I would like to (that was the one of my happiest moment in life). They are ok with weed now. It is a good thing that they know what I'm doin. I dont need to hide my stash, theres no reason to worry bout the smell, no need to hide bongs/papers etc. Its easier when they know whats goin on. Besides, you dont have to lie to them all the time. They see how honest you are, they trust you, thats the best part IMO.
 
My parents are fine with my drug use, but I can't smoke weed in the house, as my mum detests smoking in general.

Anything else is fine for me to do in the house, but I don't tend to cos it feels a bit weird.

Mum especially is ok with it. Dad doesn't interfere much or ask about it. Mum has come to pick me up countless times when I've been tripping, cos I've not felt like I can walk home safely, and she's found it hilarious.

They're generally cool with all the bizarre aspects of my lifestyle, thank god.
 
My parents aren't "cool" with drug use by any means, but they're really not too concerned. Well that's my dad...he thinks all drugs should be legalized (freedom - nature - etc) , but that as long as I'm not going beyond the psychedelics and alcohol I'll be safe (my family is basically empirical). My mom, on the other hand, concocts all sorts of wild notions about pot ruining my life. Could be true...who knows really... But I'm very lucky that neither of them are hardcore anti-drug, and that in general they're level-headed.
 
My parents are very conservative about drugs, even pot and alcohol. They know my elder brother used to take coke and smoke marijuana and were very upset about it. Consequently, I've never told them about my drug experiences, because I realise it would worry them. I wish I could be more open with them about all sorts of things, but that's what friends are for! I can't expect my parents or family to accept my drug use, especially when it's AGAINST THE LAW and would reflect back on them negatively. It's kinder for them not to be told, as I'm sure they would rather NOT know. I never fail to be amazed at how people feel entitled to openly take drugs around their parents, especially if they're living under their roof. I've NEVER taken drugs at my parents' home, I've always done it when I was away because I couldn't bear the confrontation, plus I think it would be disrespectful towards them. I realise that I can't change their point of view, especially as it's a socially unacceptable activity, plus they've got the law on their side... I don't have children but if I did, I don't think I could tell them about my past drug use either. THey could well be a lot more conservative in their thinking. For the same reason, I will never tell my niece and nephews because they too would probably disapprove of their aunty and I couldn't blame them. I think it's much better and safer to keep certain parts of my life compartmentalised and private from my relatives (and even from many of my more conservative friends). Discretion is all!

I am in the exact same situation and feel the same way. My mum even gets upset if she sees my drinking 1 beer..lol
 
Conservative relations, both older and younger

Yes, I think it's quite normal for parents to be this way. And as they become older, I wouldn't even be surprised if my niece and nephews became concerned about me if they ever found out about my private life and aspects of my lifestyle. I've heard of horror stories in which an elderly aunt was actually forced into a nursing home by her niece and nephew because they thought she was too eccentric and consequently unable to take care of herself (they also probably wanted control of her money!). The whole point I'm trying to make is that I feel it's safer to NOT tell ones relatives about clandestine activities, whether it's drugs or affairs. Up to recently, it was always my parents I've worried about not upsetting, but I could also see that my conservative brothers and their children could also take a similar stance as they become old enough to be aware of things. Hopefully they will turn out to be broad-minded but I wouldn't count on it if their parents are anything to go by. My older brother is a Navel Commander so he is naturally right-wing and conservative and pro-Bush; my eldest brother used to take drugs but has become very clean-living and would thus be just as judgmental. I'm sure they're both raising their children to be anti-drugs. My eldest niece and nephew are half-Chinese and it's part of their culture to interfere if they think a relative is not living as they should, which is all the more reason to keep a lot of my life private from them. Of course I still love them very much and am very proud of them; but I realise that there are parts of my life I need to keep compartmentalised from them. Like I say, I feel that being discreet can only be a good thing. 'Don't spill the applecart and don't frighten the horses!' :\
 
yes, all that had ever come from telling my parent/relatives about me taking drugs was fights and me being forced to get drugs for one particular member of my family. its crap, and if i continue to smoke weed and have kids i will not let them know about it, all it leads to is more problems, ill let them find out for themselves and do what they feel is right.
 
When my parents found out I smoked they tried to make me quit, and a month later when drug test time came I told them I woudln't quit. From then on it was a stand off between us with them slowly slacking off until I got caught at school. Then I had to go through rehab, and after they found out I still didn't quit. THey don't care. They just make me go smoke out on the back porch. Hell, they even buy me my cigarettes.
