Drugs And Parents [MEGA-MERGED]

Maybe this could be made into a poll? I know it wouldn't really prove anything but It'd be interesting to see how many bluelighters come from a drug-influenced background.

[ ] Both Parents
[ ] Neither
[ ] 1 Parent
[ ] I don't know
 
I quote my dad: "I never done any narcotics in my life, not even marijuana"

Few months later: (talking with my aunt)"Remember when we were little, and we used to go into the feilds to collect the pods and weeds? The damn government now made everything illegal [grumbles something about americans]" (Rough translation into English)

I'll be straight up with my kids, not make up stories, or lie... it just degrades their trust in you, and they will want to figure out for themselves. By explaining the true nature of your use, they'll understand, if not, use yourself as an example "THUIS ISS WHAT HAPPNZ WEN YUO USZE DRAWGZ!D2jdp .lenhg"
 
My Dad drinks daily and smokes marajuans probably weekly, although I think he went through a heavier usage period when younger. Also, He took LSD, Mescaline and coke when he was younger, though this was all just experimentation. I recently turned him on to mushies, which he has tried a few times.

My mom smoked a bit of pot in university and later, but had bad experience and quit. She drinks in moderation.

Both are relatively tolerant of my drug use.
 
folks divorced when i was 7
we moved to Woostock so
mom became a hippy trying this and that and is now a 68 yr old pot head ( which is okay most of the time )
dad remained square and is a 70 year old nightly drinker just to the point of being happily
tipsy --i think--he lives over in Cali.
 
more "no's" than I expected.

for me, lets just say my parents were born in the early 50s (lucky motherfuckers with their mescaline and barbituates)

A grandma doing drugs? Sorry, I just can't help but laugh at that picture in my head. :D


If you followed the post well you might note my family is quite young...
My grandma is about 50.
 
my dad liked everything back in the day, only smokes weed now....and my mom was kind of experimental, but she only smokes cigs, drinks coffee now.

This is not ment to be a sad post, try not to judge.

Mother was on the junk since she was 17 (after she had me and lost me in a custerady battle) shes still on the junk today, in and out of prision, hep c, all manner is mental problems.

Smart woman, did not do shit for me, but thats her life aye, can't hold grudges.

Never met the father.

Great grandma looked after me and braught me up, beers to passout every single night, arguments etc to no end.

Grandma visits etc, weed and stims, insane skitzo woman.

Uncle dies of amphetamine od, I witness this at age 11.

Aunt dies last year at age 30 or so, herion overdose, more like a suicide really, lived a hard life, I am happy shes free of her constructed hell. To bad for her kids though.

This stuff scared me away from drugs all up till I was 20 (I am currently 21) then I found LSD, and now my interests have moved on to RC's and stimulemts, nootropics, I am enjoying this hobby to no end and currently only hold a caffeine addiction. Although I am good at telling my self lies about dexamphetamine... I suffer aspager sydrome it helps me conform to study.

Fuck that was a long rant travelling outside the topic, but I feel it proberbly answers some of the questions the aurther might have had.

I still fear addiction, and I have a huge fear of opiates, I try to be as educated as possible and am constantly the voice of reason when it comes to drug use.

that sucks man. i can only imgaine how that shit musta ben for you growin up. but like i say bout everyone put in bad situations like that. either they take it and look at it as a reason NOT get like that yourself and strive for a better life for your self or possibly your own family youll make someday or other people use it as a reason to do the same shit themselves and fall into the same shit they see in front of them. keep up that good POV.

as far as my parents go. nothin bad. sounds to me like they each had a pretty good child hood. nothin too serious. i know for a fact that my dad used to smoke bud himself. hes told me about him and my uncle getting caught growing their own bud in school and at their house. and for my moms, i think she was the type to try it in coillege and never really do it again. been clean all her life as far as i know. :)
 
Dad: weed daily for 10 years until my little brother was born., coke, meth (once, he hated it), acid and shrooms a few times. of course alcohol. cigarettes for like 2 years when he was way younger. I found this out when I called him on a bad mushroom trip. He helped me through it.

Mom: Alcohol. And a few cigarettes that she puffed but didn't inhale.

My dad's sister was a cocaine/meth addict for over 20 years. One of my mom's brothers was a long time pot smoker, and another one she claims could have been addicted to heroin, but she's not sure... he's probably tried everything and today is an alcoholic.

Drug use runs in my family apparently.
 
Dad: I guess typical 'cool' party type kid growin up in the 70's in Australia, without being overboard. So big drinker, smoker, some weed for sure and I'm pretty sure acid or mushies but that's only educated guess. Now only drinks occasionally but I think he would have used my weed when it was taken off me when I was in high school.

Mum: Much more conservative, drinks occasionally, never to excess .
 
Both my parents drink and of course use caffeine. My mom seems pretty innocent as far as illegal drug use goes. I'm positive she never habitually used anything. It makes me laugh imagining it. My dad used to smoke cigarettes, and I have a feeling he used to do something. I mean, he grew up in the 60's and 70's. Nothing since I was born though.

Both of my parents said they only tried pot once and didn't like it
I told my mom the same thing about sex when she asked :)

Mom drinks more now than I remember. She said she tried pot with my father in her 20's but it made her feel paranoid. She knows I smoke and would like to try it again. I think I will share my weed this year. She has been a cig smoker since 14, I think. I know she takes sleeping pills and has been on antidepressants. She almost lost her arm in an accident 2 years ago. She was quite fearful of becoming addicted to pain pills. She didn't. She kept herself in moderate pain instead.

I think my dad smoked more pot that he lets on as a young adult. I have some vague memories of it. He does not do anything now. He probably should to mellow his ass out a bit. Occasional social beer. I have never seen him drunk or known him to drink to excess. He is not a cig smoker.

They are both coffee hogs.
 
My parents tried marijuana a couple times at parties when we were very young but never anything else, and this was just a one off. My dad used to play professional football (Redskins) and he told us that they were regularly offered speed pills to help them get through their games. I gather that he took them a few times but stopped after that. This was back in the late 1950s.

They are now quite conservative about drugs, though they would be open-minded about supplements such as kava kava or 5-HTP. They wouldn't approve of me getting high, though.
 
Using drugs while living w/ your parents?

I live with my parents. My mum is retired, so she's basically everyday in home. Sometimes she leaves for a couple of hours somewhere, but that's not something to have party about.

I have had some difficulties with using drugs, because it seems like I don't have any own time. There's always someone home and it I don't want to ruin the high by being worried about if someone notices my state of awareness, starts talking to me or comes where I am.

It's not like I would be getting high everyday. Not even every week. But like once or twice a month. It seems like I would have to do it in the night, when everyone's sleeping, but then again I wouldn't like to mess up my sleeping pattern, because that makes me depressed.

Basically I just wanted to share my feelings and ask if everyone else has been in the same kind of situation as I am right now and how he/she felt about it? I don't know many people, since we just moved to a new location, so I pretty much can't go over to my pals and get high there and I wouldn't even want to, because I prefer getting high alone.

Sometimes it would be great to have some relief from all the accumulating daily pressure, by getting high occasionally, but it has been a great difficulty for me for a while already. I have been a responsible occasional user and I would like to continue being one. It's not like I have to, but it would be nice to. :\

I'm waiting for the christmas holidays to arrive - maybe I could have some own time by then.

Share your own comments, experiences and feelings.

Thank you.
 
[insert obligatory "get a vaporizer" comment here]

seriously though if you're trying to smoke weed in the same house as people who disapprove, get a vaporizer, not only will you not have to deal with the lingering smoke and odor of weed, you'll get a lot higher and use a lot less weed than you do now.

if you're talking about other drugs, well there's not much you can do for dilated pupils besides visine as a temporary fix (supposedly---i've never used them---shrinks pupils for about 30 minutes)

my only other advice, keep plenty of water on hand so you don't get all nervous and start having your throat dry up while talking to a parent or something.

hope this helps =D
