Drugs And Parents [MEGA-MERGED]

Both my parents used meth when I was growing up until age 13 or so. My dad drinks and smokes pot daily. My mom quit everything when I was about 13 or 14. My mom denies doing anything but I know it's a huge lie and so does she. She is trying to cop out on the abuse and neglect both of them would put on all three of their children. They went out almost 7 days a week all night long which left plenty of time for my brother and I to try out drugs. Just so happened that the first drugs that I ever used were my parents starting at age 10 with pot and alcohol, age 11 I found their stash of meth, but didn't like it too much. Kept me up all night. Didn't have a clue what drugs did back then and we didn't have the internet to learn about all this stuff. Not that I am old but this was the early 90's and the internet wasn't very popular. When I was a teen I had my own prescription pain killers for tooth work, etc. and found a liking for them. Later when my parents cleaned up my mom became very anti-drug and my dad always agreed with her despite being a hypocrite. Many a fights were witnessed over drugs and drug induced rages. You could say my childhood wasn't that great, but at least we had to food to eat and a roof over our heads. Of course we took care of our selves starting at age 8 but it could have been worse I guess.
 
My parents know actually nothing. I didn't try alcohol before i turned 19, and I was not the kind of guy who were into this "party-thing". So they don't even suspect something. I think that they would react with surprice and maybe anger if I told them someday. But, I have always been very open with my parents and I think a lot about telling them the hole story. It's bugging me that I have this big lie for myself, but I'm afraid that telling them would only give me problems, and quite frankly; maybe they are better without knowing? (I am 21, and haven't moved out yet).
Still I sometimes feel bad about myself when I trip. I feel somewhat dirty, and this can make a trip tough. I am sure that if they knew, and was okay with it, I would have a lot more positive trips.

As for now, I am just waiting... My family is the most important thing in my life (actually it was psychedelics that showed me this!), and I guess I am scared to maybe hurt the people I love the most.

Ps. I am new to Bluelight, but I have read the posts here for quite some time. This board is SO great, and it really improves the safety among drug users!
 
My parents have been nothing but respectful of my use of psychedelics for learning, even though they painfully disagree with it. Read my trip report on shrooms on erowid (same nickname) if you want a detailed scenatio.

This is one thing that has brought us closer to each other than we would have ever been.
 
@ mgs:

it's funny you've done methylone with your mom. I've considered giving my mom something blatantly empathogenic, like MDMA, for example....but I worry about her brain chemistry a little bit. I could probably talk her into taking a pill if I really put some effort into it, but going all out of her way to smoke DMT on the other hand strikes me as more or less impossible.

I'd love to turn her on though. It would do her good, knowing there's more out there than her silly little life. She's so caught up in the world, and random day-to-day shit. It's unhealthy and she knows it.
 
My parents are an interesting case. One of the most defining aspect of our relationship, particularly with controversial issues, is that they avoid confrontation at all costs.

My dad is close minded to any drug use whatsoever, along with anything else that threatens the status quo of his carefully constructed conservative reality.
On the other side of the coin though, my mom is more open minded, but sometimes it seems like she's more confused about what she believes than she is open to other beliefs.

She knows a lot more than whatever things have slipped into my dad's attention because as I aged, I didn't mind talking to her about the things I had done. She had an imagination, and I was a rebellious troublemaker in their eyes. It wasn't exactly unfounded either.... When I was 15, my interest in drugs was undeniable as I was fascinated by the chemistry behind it all. PIKHAL, TIKHAL, Uncle Fester's books... my mom knew I was reading these, and even went out of her way to give me some of her own drug chemistry books. I think it was a curiosity that she had these because she hid them from my dad.

I've told her about some of my drug use and she's expressed her curiosity in MDMA.... Maybe one day she'll know through me if she's ready.

As far as psychedelics go though, her stance is summarized by experiences she had as a teenager. She tried both mushrooms and acid and both times, was horrified and disturbed by the possibilities of reality on hallucinogens. Some people just aren't built to trip.

So do my parents know? They know enough to realize they don't want to know any more, basically. After my traumatic adolescence, something scary and wonderful happened. They stopped trying to control me. I realize that to some extent, they see me as a lost cause... but I can't particularly complain because they respect me enough not to judge me to my face, and they'll assist me if I need help. So they've granted me the freedom to do whatever I please as an individual. I just wish I could widen their perspective to conceptualize what really goes on in my head so I could have real conversations with them.

At this point, more than anything, I'd like to help them and teach them the things I've learned for myself through my alternative lifestyle... but you can't sing to the deaf.
 
My parents have some idea about the drugs I eat and they don't necessarily like to hear about it but I have made it clear that it is just part of who I am and I won't change. Pot isn't a big deal.

I know my mom has taken lsd, mescaline etc but my dad has not. He has expressed the fact that he would like to try lsd so hopefully when I am well established and done with my studies I will offer him some lsd.
 
My parents know of most of my drug use.
My dad just recently told me that they both were aware of me and my girlfriend's indulgence of painkillers, specifically Oxycontin.
That was weird to me, and even weirder that he didn't even give me "the talk" about it..

I'm sure they are aware of certain drugs that I've used, while I still think they don't know. Meth, coke, crack, are the main ones I can think of.

I know they suspected something during my stimulant "over-use" period, of regularly using E, Coke, and Meth. I was looking pretty fucking rough for a month or so. They would sometimes ask "You're not putting anything up that nose are you?", of course I say no, and that would be the end of it. But I still think they know.

The main reason they don't freak out on me anymore is because back when I first got in trouble with drugs, I told them straight up that I'm not gonna be a failure, and I won't become stupid. She then hinted that if I started to fuck up, it would be rehab, counselling, etc.

3 and a 1/2 years later, here I am, 18, in university - while most of my friends are still in highschool or drop outs living a hard life. I stuck to my word, even though I did overindulge in somethings here and there.
 
I tell my mom everything, she doesn't comment really she just tells me not to over-do it. Hell when I was a teenager she used to give me money specifically for weed.
 
I dont think my drug use persay is a probblem for my mom. But she can tell when Im binging on Heroin, and I know that really upsets her.
 
mine went psycho after finding a couple bongs in my room... they didn't find the weed but at that point i didn't care and was honest with them and just handed it over... about a gram of some of the dankest kush ive ever had in my possession, sad to see it go... so they trashed my room in search of the weed when i would have handed it over if they had just asked... but i guess they didn't know that... happily they didn't find the lightbulb vape or a bit of other incriminating things...

my parents are hypocrites when it comes to drugs, they chewed me and my sister out for having pot in the house when in the drawer behind them there was a half smoked joint in a film canister... my mom is a benzo and opiate addict who uses any excuse to take something, and offered me 10mg of hydrocodone which i took.. so its kind of like "dont smoke weed... but i dont give a shit about you taking highly addictive narcotics"..... my step dad fails to see that she has a problem, maybe he cant grasp that most people don't run through a prescription of xanax in 2 days because of stress... and even after being arrested for taking god knows how much xanax and going for a drive she still takes them, i hate to watch my mother go downhill into addiction but i feel like a hypocrite myself for criticizing her. i honestly wouldn't mind it if she only was a recreational user, but if she really is just taking them for stress there are better drugs for that with less addiction potential... i wish she would just smoke pot, but theres a snowballs chnace in hell of that ever happening..
 
Pissed. They don't like the fact I pop pills from time to time and eat heroin through a needle.

Too fucking bad. I chip now and got a job so they can STFU.
 
My parents are very old. Im 23, my dad is 73 and my mum just shy of 70.

They grew up in Ireland before many cars were in the country, before telephones and electricity and my mother, in particular, is a devout Roman Catholic.

Neither of them have ever drank in their lives and, frankly, drugs to them are something that kill people in slummy city blocks.

They are both intelligent people but I do not think they could be made to see drug use from my point of view and my mother is prone to anxiety (undiagnosed and never admitted but clear for all the family to see) as she can work herself into a state over nothing.

There have been a few occasions when my dad has met me outside their house just as I finished hash joints and he was in my apartment once when there were lumps of resin lying around and general stoner mess but he would rather ignore it than comment.

I would love to give my mom LSD or shroom tea as it could help her, but somehow I can never see it happening. I only see them three or four times a year anyhow and would rather get along and enjoy the stay than rock the boat.

My seven siblings know I use many substances, but only two or possibly three have anything approaching the full story and only one of them has ever indulged with me. Again we just don't see enough of each other for that level of intimacy as they live all around Ireland and I live in another country.

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.

same here, My mom is completely against drugs.
My father smokes and bought me my first shrooms and tripped with me... he rule is organics are good, chemicals bad... I never listen!;)
 
father- lsd, mescaline, cocaine, heroin, pot (while living in Hollywood in 1969) now just alcohol, and I suspect cocaine but he denies it

mother- lsd, pot (in the 60's, and like every one else that posted she claimed she tried them once and didnt like it lol) now she very very rarely drinks
 
good thread imo.

as far as i know both my parents havent used drugs except coffee and alcohol, which they down regularly.
 
my mom does way to much hydrocodone and xanax.... shes an addict but my step dad fails to see that xanax isn't meant to be taken for stress.... every single day....

my step dad, he wont admit to anything but my sister found a half smoked joint in his drawer... yet he harps about never doing any drugs in his life...

they both smoke and drink on occasion....

my real dad just drinks beer....

My mom used to be a frequent cannabis smoker and used lsd on a few occasions. She drinks sometimes, but not very often. My father used cocaine and was also an alcoholic.

Actually quite similar to mine.

My dad was a pretty big drinker and then he'd always do coke when he was drinking. He had a pretty bad habit in the early-mid 80's from what I've heard 8( . He must have got some slamming coke though.

My mom smoked weed until she found out she was pregnant, but I don't think she tried anything else except alcohol, which she didn't/doesn't like.
 
Like most baby boomers, my parents have smoked their weight in bud but quit before I was concieved.

The only other thing was my dad trying acid. He tried it when he was 22ish and said he absolutely hated it. Funny thing is, I have done it many times and consider it my favorite drug. Maybe he was too old when he tried it?

Oh, and my mom said she tried coke once but stopped because it "felt too good." Haha
