Drugs And Parents [MEGA-MERGED]

When i was able to remember things as a kid is when i knew my father smoked pot.. now i did'nt know exactly what it was until i was in 4th-5th grade. Dad always smoked around us as children, He's a firm believer that it doesn't hurt people. When i started my teenage years I remember talking to my dad and him telling me if i ever wanted to try pot, He would love it if i would ask him to ,and him do it with me, In the safety of our own home. (of course i did'nt) even though he told me that. I was always scared to let him know about my Drug experiences.


Everything turned out okay though. I don't think one should hide something from their children such as pot. But honestly anything else seems unacceptable Doesnt it?
 
Dad: No way, I doubt he's ever tried anything
Mom: Not that I know of, but I wouldnt be surprised if she's experimented a little... actually I think I would be more surprised to find out that she didnt.
 
My dad did/does. My first dose of LSD was at a festival with him.
I probably do more do drugs that he ever did, but not by an extreme amount.
I certainly experiment more readily than he does.
 
my dad didn't use drugs.. but he had an occasional drink..

my mom.. drinks sometimes.. but i have a suspicion she tokes up every now and again with her b/f..
 
My parents both use(d - my mom recently put down her weed due to lung problems).

I haven't spoken to my dad in years, but from what my brothers have said he's still a heavy coke/crack/pot user. I can't believe the man is still alive to be honest. The last time I saw him a few years back he looked like a walking skeleton, ash skin and all.

I would never try coke or crack because of watching what my dad did to himself with it.

As far as my mom goes, all that i know she has done is smoke. She was a daily smoker up until just recently. I suspect she was on crack for a long period of time too, but she'd never admit it. She's put everything down now though because of health issues. The ironic part is that she was just diagnosed with glaucoma.

I think the only effect their use had on mine was turning me off to coke/crack. My use of pretty much everything is limited anymore, but I had my years of 'experimentation'.

DM, it was common knowledge in my house when we were young kids and still lived with our parents that they smoked pot. I stayed home from school one time and went snooping in my parent's dresser. I found rocks. Had no idea what they were at the time, but they were with their 'adult cigarettes' so I knew it was something.
 
Mom-Has used since 12 yrs. old. Still uses heroin and occasionally crack

Dad-Has used forever as well. Mainly crack and pharms these days

My whole immediate family(5), is or has been addicted to heroin, along with numerous cousins, aunts, uncles.
 
I Used to be friends with a kid, whom he and his mom were both strug out on H and constintly skimming from the father. Using at their house was a trip. The dad would be shaking the drug dealers hand not even knowing whats going on.
 
both of my parents use... i have smoked, eaten acid, and done blow with both of them, and i did dmt with my dad. neither one of them have ever rolled before and i really want them to do it together at some point.
 
Mom- a pretty regular drinker, according to her tried pot and speed, didn't much like it.

Dad on the other hand is a recovering alcoholic and addict. According to his stories and stories from his friends he has been on any and everything I can think of.

When he got bad on meth was when I decided to steer clear of it as much as possible, especially shooting it. He knows I use drugs, and doesn't condone it, but doesn't chew my ass or anything about it. He says 'there is nothing you can do to make me stop loving you, I may not like what your doing but I'll always love you.'

those of you who know of your parents use, how old were you when you found out? i was an adult...it kind of creeps me out to know that it can happen younger, though i know a wonderful family whose parents were total pot heads, (upperclass) and the kids knew since when they were young....

the reason i ask is that i ponder constantly how far my childrens drug education should go.
Click to expand...

when i was about 12, my dad took me to the mall.

he sat me down and asked if i knew that he smoked pot--which i did. being 12, i wasnt sure what exactly it WAS he was doing/smoking, but i knew he was up to something, even tho he hid it extremely well.

at the time (when i was 12) i told him to stop, because id heard that it was bad at school and on TV.

he explained to me that he wanted me to know NOW that he had smoked pot his whole life and that it kept him stable. that he was not a criminal for smoking, kept a job, etc, etc... basically broke up the bullshit about how "drugs are bad." he also told me to keep it a secret--not to tell ANYONE-- because CPS might take us, my sister and me, away from him if they were to find out about it via school. im glad he told me that, because CPS did try and pull some bullshit move the next year, asking if our parents used drugs. a few of my friends houses got broken up because the kids said yes...

it took me a while to learn to respect his use though, mostly for fear for his health.

i started to notice my parents other habit, cocaine, when i started doing it myself... that was harder for them to explain to me, lol. theyre permissive attitude towards my cocaine use contributed to it for sure, however it was still my choice. we would do coke together sometimes, because they didnt want me going to places where id be at MORE risk than i already was: understandable.

i dont know what id do if my (future) kids started doing coke. unlike my parents i dont really like it that much, so i would probably be kinda pissed off.

marijuana shouldnt even be illegal, IMHO, so telling kids its bad is just plain stupid.

my parents absolutely freaked when they found a syringe in my room, which i found rather hypocritical, drawing lines in the sand and such.
 
My parents are completely "straight." My dad doesn't even drink alcohol (he calls it the devils drug); he once said that he smoked pot as a teenager but seemed embarrassed about it. He even tries to stick to drink only one cup of coffee per day, because more than one cup is "bad." My mom doesn't drink either, but she used to when she was younger.

That being said, I can admit to my parents that I drink and smoke weed. But if I were to mention my opiate and benzo use, I think they'd really flip out. I'd really like it if they would smoke some herb once in awhile.
 
I use drugs because I want to use drugs, no one has influenced me. That said, my Dad smokes weed, does a little blow now and then and drinks, my Step Mom smokes crack and drinks, my Mom takes Lortabs, Valium, and Methadone everyday of her life.

I have always been surrounded by drugs, and I barely use them anymore.
 
My mum was an alcoholic/ meth addict and a pot smoker (for over 10 years).

My dad is a heroin addict.

My mum is a-okay with my drug usage (even though she hasn't done anything in over 6 years) but i still barely do them. There's a different between use and addiction and im scared of becoming an addict. I was pretty aware of everything going on from a youngish age.
 
My mom smoked me up when I was 13. It was my first drug experience. She wanted me to see that weed is not an "evil drug", but rather something that makes you giggle and get the munchies. She wanted to remove to mystery, so that I didn't find myself in sketchy situations just due to curiosity...

We smoked together for a decade after that. She used to hook me up with weed until I was 16-17, found a better connection than hers and started hooking HER up.


In my 20's, I found out that she also used to bang coke. We talked about it at length, as I had just kicked my own coke habit (the first time, anyway).

That level of honesty continued, so when I wound up kicking a nasty meth habit a couple years later... we talked about it. I'd never talk to her about drugs WHILE I was using, mind you... always after they were done with.


I've often wondered if I was better or worse off having a mom like this. I had friends who would be disowned if their parents even SUSPECTED they did drugs. It made them into constant liars, and meant a huge part of their young lives was kept from their parents.

That being said, none of them ever hit the addiction road half as hard as I did. Sure I could talk to my mom about it afterwards... but I also had way fewer "reality checks" along the way that might stop me before getting addicted.

I have no real answer here. I am who I am, my mom is who she is, and I can't change it.

That being said, it's kind of scary how my still fairly young mom (she turns 50 this year) is really REALLY starting to "lose it" as far as her mental functions go. I wonder if this is a preview of what my mid-life will be like... when all the braincells I'm killing right now start to catch up to me.
 
My mother has said she smoked pot once, she can fuck off anyway, we don't get along

My dad drinks, not heavily, never really discussed drugs at all. Fairly sure he knows I do pills, but it's never come up.
 
both of my parents smoke tobacco, my mom takes opioids (but she is scripted them cause she has severe chronic pain) and my dad used to drink a few glasses of wine every night after dinner when i was growing up. i never saw him drunk though and he stopped drinking a few years ago because in his words "it was too expensive" (which seems weird to me cause he has the money to afford wine if he really wanted it). they are also both addicted to coffee.
