mum: nothing

dad: yes, back in the 80s when he was a punk. (not total sure what he used to do but to what i no it was things like smoking weed and doing acid, etc)

used to smoke with my dad (have joint on go and he will have a couple of tokes, but not anymore), but he never influence me to do what i today.
 
mom- never

dad- former pothead, has smoked heroin (just tried, I believe him).

My parents are both worried sick of my tweaking which I can't seem shake off how hard I try. I have periods of of 4 months without amps but then I go and binge for week. I wish I could understand my behaviour better. I have a really understanding psych who has me on methylphenidate+valium+effexor.:o
 
Mom - She drinks occasionally. I know she used to drink more than she does now when she was younger, but I don't know how much more. I think she might have used to smoke cigarettes, but I'm not sure. I don't think she's used any other drugs.

Dad - I know he used to smoke weed when he was in high school and college, and apparently also did so a bit while I was growing up, but I wasn't aware of that until recently. He also did LSD some in high school/college, I think. Nowadays, all he does is occasionally drink and smoke about two packs of cigarettes a day.
 
My dad is a hardcore needle banging oxycontin addict, he is scripted them for a crash, but not melted down 80's and shot up, lol.
My moms like his nurse, she loves her vallium
 
My old man was an alcoholic, everynight at the bar, come home fucked up every night when i was a toddler, then when my parents split he went totally off the rails ended up being physically addicted and a proper alcoholic for the next decade, he is smokes ciggarettes and bud daily.

He has told me a story of accepting a few blotters of lsd, without being educated on lsd a little before hand, so he had a horrible experience with acid.

I know he used to do a bit of speed while he was on epic drinking binges, and some cocaine.

But the alcohol is his problem, i have many a childhood memories of a stumbling, vommiting father..
 
Not really... I mostly had a problem with getting spun out, but that ended with time. Now I just drink a lot, its way better.
 
Haha, my parents honeymooned in Antigua and when I got caught for smoking pot, they admitted to me they had some Rasta friends there and they smoked once with them. Nine months later, my sister was born...
 
both my parents smoke weed. my dad is a heavy alcoholic, he now has terminal lung cancer, so smokin up is not just recreational anymore for him! my dad has been it all, he went on his crack binge, i guess in his early 30's (never knew it at the time!).But o ya my parents got down back in the day....so my dad has told me, yet my mom says she only tried this and that once! Ya and i'm not a junky ma!
 
how do your parents feel about the drugs you eat?

I've pondered starting this thread since a few weeks ago or so, when for some reason, I told my mom in vivid detail about a high-dose 5-MEO-DMT experience I had. It was my first +4 out of many, and really, really did a number on me, mentally, in a good way. In fact, it still does, to this day. I told her I basically saw a truth so absolute it could only be god, and there was no me, et cetera.....really went into a thorough explanation about it. She expressed she was jealous, in a weird way, even though she is in no way the type to indulge in anything like that.

I feel like moving into my own place has kinda given my mom a chance to reset a little bit, and relax, and stop viewing me as such an immediate enemy as a result of her own panicked defenses. She and I were never on very good terms, and she's a deeply lost and unsatisfactory person in many ways. I've been on my own for a long ass time, and never really made a point to speak with her until recently. Lately, though, it's like she's actually willing to accept me as a valid person, and accept my opinions as valid opinions. I tell her about psychedelics and she respects it, because it's played a role in the person I've become, and that person is a legitimate one.

can anyone else relate to this? What is your family's stance on you and your practices?
 
My parents are the conservative type, though they try to be open-minded. I moved away from home in my early 20s, when i went to university. Before i went to university I merely drank (normal round here) and smoked tobacco and cannabis (not so normal at the time, and I kept that concealed from them, also the amounts of alcohol I really drank at weekends). At university (abroad) I discovered LSD and MDMA and I came home to tell the tale... and how my parents could also benefit from these things. Little did I know how they would be worried. I then did develop some problems (depression, anxiety) and my parents blamed the drugs. It wasn't the drugs per se I suppose - they were merely catalysts for latent issues I had, but to my parents, who were really worried, it was clear that it was the drugs. Anyway, that was long ago, and it's all resolved and I am over a decade older now.
These days my parents know that I smoke cannabis, because I figured they now know it isn't all so bad (society seems to have loosened up on that issue in recent years), and because it is a good way to hide the true reason for any unusual states of being from them in case they call while I'm tripping and I make the mistake of answering. I think it's best they don't know I still use psychedelics (or rather, that I use them again, I had some kind of break at some point apart from he odd mushroom experience that usually left me a bit freaked at the time anyway). If they knew about all the RCs I've gotten into over the last 4 or 5 years (which have killed and probably will kill again and are badmouthed in the press likenothign else) I'm sure they wouldn't approve. But I think they don't even know RCs exist :D ... Or maybe they can guess I still do drugs and just don't bother bothering me about it. Sometimes I wonder. But I suppose some things are best not talked about if it keeps the relationship comfortable. I no longer feel any need to do so either. Drugs aren't really that much an essential part of my self-definition, and I can be someone to them without drugs as a conversation topic. They're just a part of my life, and there's others. Most of the time anyway ;)
 
:\

They do not really know, and unfortunately it will probably remain that way the rest of my life- it is the one and only lie I hold against them and it does not make me feel good inside - a mushroom trip with a friend helped resolve my issues with it as I confronted the issue headon during the peak of the trip and talked to him about it and cried and finally left the peak smiling-

earlier in my life I had a lot of trouble with methamphetamine and then oxycontin and fentanyl- now they associate all drugs as VERY BAD for me - so I am afraid it would crush my parents mentally to hear about my experiences, no matter how far from a meth or downer high they are -

Psychedelics are such wonderfully powerful tools and I wish our society (and my family) could see it that way -

It is perhaps a bit too earlier in the game for it to be like this totally, but I am glad your relationship with your mother, NBSP, was allowed to open up a little-
 
My parents knew I smoked cannabis and tried some other drugs, but all they know is that I tried ecstacy once and they suspect some other things. They figured out that I still smoke on vacation this summer, and were okay with it, but they would be horrified about the psychedelics. My mom in particular is a very good friend of mine and we talk a lot and get into philosophical conversations. But I don't think she's ready for my story yet.

One day I fully intend on releasing a book containing my psychedelic experience, many years from now, and I will not do so until I'm ready to share it with those I love. That time is not now. :\

Unfortunately, no one in my life can fully understand my relationship with psychedelics, which is why I'm so thankful for Bluelight. You guys have an important place in my life, so thank you. <3
 
I'm 18 and in college. If my parents knew all the shit I've tried so far here they'd pull me out of college and plant my ass in rehab on the spot.
 
Thats weird, I've been thinking of tsarting a similar thread... My parents have known that I've used drugs pretty much ever since I started, and whilst me smoking weed and taking "e" was very much frowned upon, psychedelics are seen as different. Both my parents are religious, and my father especially has been on his own philosophical quest his whole life to find god; ultimately its lead him to heaps of frustration though which has reverberated through the family....

I am close to my mum espedially, and she knows that I am willow11 on bluelight; I've got her to read a bit of stuff just to understand wgat we do.
 
my mum knows i used to smoke weed, she is aware of my brothers smoking it now too, she was pretty mad with me as i am the oldest she never really expeted me to be into drugs.
my brother told her i've had e's too but she has never once mentioned it to me
i dunno if they believed my brother or if they just have the "she's old enough to make her own desisions" attitude.
i certainly dont like the idea of them knowing i take drugs.
 

interesting, looks like we're a load of momma's boys. me too, i too have had lots of deep and personal talk with my ma (especially during my late teen sand early 20s - a lot less so now that I am married and there's grandkids from my bro and sis). She might even understand if I did spill the beans (especially since I have been relatively stable and coping well with life over the last few years), but I don't wanna risk regretting it later--- it might even give me bad trips. Since we get on very well as we are right now, why spoil a good thing? I am also beyond wanting to change my parents and I accept them for what they are, friends whom I can be grateful to for what they did for me before I was odl enough to be their friend (even if soem things they did made me suffer a lot.. I am sure some thibsg I did made them suffer too).

Of course i need someone to share the psychedelic experience with, and me too i am glad I have BL, as my partner can't really be bothered much with psychedelics any more (has less of a need for them as well, has gotten from them what she wanted, it seems) and I have only very few close enough friends who are into them. And I have no one in my close vicinity who is as into them as I am. Round here, I am Mr Knowledgeable, Mr Variety and Mr SortItAllOut... sometimes it would be nice to physically have someone around who is as involved with it as I am.
 
^^ Truly. I am always a bit jealous of the Bluelighters who have met other Bluelighters and have become friends outside of the Internet.
