Drugs And Parents [MEGA-MERGED]

My parents were surprised to find mushrooms in my bag when I returned from my Europe travels after graduating from college ... actually it was my dog that sniffed them out, that furry little tattletale. :X <3

My dad was rightfully quite upset at the fact that I was willing to risk my future by bringing a schedule I substance through customs. I had a talk with my mom about the effects of psilocybin mushrooms and how they are radically misrepresented in the public eye, but this was still before I delved into much personal/spiritual exploration. She seemed at the very least receptive to my opinions.

I plan to have a honest talk with my parents about psychedelics some day. After I'm done with my education and have an established career, I will tell them, if not sooner. That way I can say, look, I've done all this and psychedelics have not impeded me in anyway ... and then go on to explain all the wonderful benefits. I still have a hope that someday I can guide them through an psychedelic experience or have them experience the wonders of MDMA. :D
 
My dad is a lot cooler about it than my mom, however both know. My dad likes the fact that I actually bother to learn and take care of myself while my mother kinda thinks I'm a cunt for doing so even if she won't come out and say it.

But then again my mom thinks I'm still like 5 when I'm 21 and treats me like a kid.
 
i think my parents would kill me if they knew I even smoked a joint.

When I was in high school in the 70's, my mom found a note that said, I will get the joint for you.

She found it sat me down and said my father would be dissapointed in me if he found out i had drugs on me.

We never talked about it again, nor was i stupid enough to have a note like that again. Even though it was over 30 yrs ago, I'll never forget that time.
 
i've had numerous talks with my mom about how i feel about cannabis and have finally come to her acceptance when i compared it to her walking around with a glass of gin and tonic every night..

not so sure she thinks i do much else though i have talked to her about how certain drugs like psych's are to usually viewed as serious and very spiritual/enlightning but im not sure how much of that got to her because they're still "drugs"
 
My parents are ignorant of the positive aspects of drugs. They understand that there are mystical ones like ayahuasca that are unarguably beneficial. But they think just because they are illegal and are "street" drugs that they are these toxic substances that, if they don't kill you will damage you severely. Needless to say, their view on drugs in general has led me to deny my usage. They're always so impressed by how much I know about what's going on in the world, and my critical thinking. Ahh, if I told them I became such a way with psychedelics...

I've told my mom of my early mushroom experiences, and that I have smoked pot. My dad also smokes pot and we talk about it openly, even listening to pro-legalization talks on NPR during our family drives. I'm a philosophy major in university now so I guess they know where the impetus for that comes from, hehe...

I can't help but inform everyone around me about a new idea or philosophy, so they're used to hearing about Mckenna, Leary, Kesey or whoever... My mom's advice when it comes to psychedelics: "Don't too many" Hopefully I can live up to that.
 
they know whats up , but they dont say anything about it . im guessing they trust that im responsible enough not to take it over the edge.
 
Well, I'm 17 and my mom knows I've smoked cannabis and drank. My dad knows I've drank. They're both concerned about the illegality of certain drugs and the fact that psychedelics could "screw with" my head. I understand where they're coming from.. I don't know if I'll take LSD again. I've done it once but I think I may be too young and have too much of a fluctuating brain to do any psychs in the near future (at least until I'm done developing mentally).
 
I'm 19... several months ago I allowed them to find my ketamine because I wanted to find out their feelings and I was in one of those "open" moods. Both in past have seemed fairly anti-drug types (oddly enough they buy me booze...), but they've also admitted to at least trying weed in college and they're (mostly) rational. They're both great people, and I really want to trip with them. I'm close with my mom, but I've never really been deeply open with my dad (classical oedipus =D). He's not a simple person, and I really want to know him better. In particular, I'd like to find out his attitudes and feelings towards masculinity to help me better understand my own. He's been a huge part of my life, but when I try to understand him... he seems more golem-like than ever.

Anyway... ketamine was a bad choice of drug to show. I'd picked it 'cause my dad works with it and knows it's not particularly harmful, but at first they thought it was coke! Even after I told them it was K, they were still flipping out. At that point I decided only to reveal using weed, mushrooms, and K instead of the whole goddamn list. I'm well informed about the drugs I do, those are relatively safe drugs, and I come off as a knowledgeable speaker so no real punishment occurred. I was in particularly poor emotional circumstances at the time, which made them initially think that the use was a result of that, but the fact that I had been doing drugs for two previous years was adequate answer. I told them I'd quit, and I feel bad about not doing so, but I have cut down (mostly as a result of school).

It's a situation that I'm not happy with, but I'm not in a position to rectify it right now. Once I get out of school, and a solid job, I'll reapproach it.

We used to joke a lot at the dinner table about drugs, now when I visit my younger brother and I only joke about them rarely (and in an ironic way). Looks of dismay still pop up on my parents faces. :-/

Edit: Whoops, missing a word.

^^My dad administers plenty of ketamine, but definitely has never tried it. I've always wanted to explain the psychoactive effects, but I don't think it would make much sense to him. I think all drugs are grouped together in his head, illegal = good for nothin.

Ahhh, sharing a psychedelic session with the family would be an incredible bonding experience. Oh, how wonderful would that be ...

I suppose sharing it with my future wife is asking enough.

My dad told me when I was 15 "If you are going to intoxicate yourself, and I know you will, Smoke pot, don't drink."

Best advice he could have given me. I think by smoking pot to the exclusion of drinking when I was a teenager kept me safer (on a whole lot of levels).

Alcohol is responsible for so many horrible things that happen to teenagers, from unsafe sex, to car accidents, to alcohol poisioning, etc.

I did some stupid things while stoned, but I think I had my head about me a little more than if I was drunk.

My mom is an alcoholic. She doesnt' like pot though... Makes her too giggly (That's the whole point for me, but anyway).

So... that's basically why I prefer marijuana to alcohol to this very day.
 
My parents know I use drugs (those collect calls from the county jail being a clue) and while they aren't cool with it they don't give me much shit over it either. They've never even heard of the drugs we discuss here, and I have no plans to clue them in. That might lead to new speculation as to the nature of those letters from foriegn countries that used to show up in their mailbox.
 
My mother has never approved of drugs, period.

That being said, my Dad is very different from her, and I have smoked pot with him a couple of times. It's a lot of fun :D
I also plan to go to a family reunion (my dad's side) and take mushrooms with my relatives! That should be interesting ;)

By the way, my parents have been divorced for 13 years.
 
I manged to find out my dad used to pop pills here and there when he was a teenager, but nothing hardcore.

My mom. I'm not sure. I have my suspicions now though, but I can't prove anything.
 
Dad- weed (grew it too), LSD, peyote, blow, major alcoholic, pills... First time I did shrooms was with him, I told him i wanted to try them and he bought about an once I then ate about a quarter for my first time. That scared the shit outa me, not enough to not do it agian though :) . Oh and I've smoked with him a few times and bought from him too.
Mom- drinks, says she smoked once and didn't like it...
 
Oh yeah,

I forgot to mention, even in their 50's my parents still get intoxicated very often.

My dad smokes weed and drinks beer when he jams in his garage, and my mom drinks, well, pretty much constantly.
