MJ and parents.

[Theologic]

Hello

I have a question, how would one who has a foul hatred for beer, booze. That would much rather smoke pot, but doesnt want to spend all the money. Convince their parents into letting them grow one or two plants on a windowsill, I have great respect for my parents so wouldn't grow without their knowledge as it would be deeply unfair on them if we were to get raided or anything like that, i also wouldnt be able to disguise the smell. So for that matter, how do i reach through to them?, my dad isnt really that approachable to that kind of thing, as far as i know, And both my parents are stubborn and im abit of a push over. I live in the UK so growing outside isn't much of a possiblility.

growing is very risky, especially in a house that you do not own. I wouldn't recommend it. You would also have to grow more than one or two plants because of success rates: what if it dies? Gets infected? Isn't feminized... these are all things that you have to worry about. I'm not sure that growing on a windowsill (just using natural light) would even produce a large yield so you probably won’t break even after buying all the necessary equipment (pots, fem seeds, soil etc)... is it even worth it if you’re not growing many? You may as well just buy weed with the money you are going to spend on growing a couple plants.

*Dad spits beer out
"'Fuck d'ou jussay?!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu duuuuu what I dunno nothing, I said can I go to Tijuana."

"GTFO"

That's the way it would happen to me anyways.

I agree with this. Although I've never tried to grow myself, I've heard it's no cake-walk. I highly respect you're wanting your parents to know about something like that though, but again it's not worth it. Just buy it, and maybe tell your parents you're doing that. Maybe discuss with them that you do not like to drink alcohol but prefer marijuana. Tell them why, and maybe give them a few sources to read to eliminate the shitty propaganda that may be in their heads.

If you still live with parents don't grow drugs and don't drugs. At all.

End thread please.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with smoking pot while living with your parents as long as they know about it and are okay with it. I believe that is his goal, and I respect that.

 

[delta_9]

I stand by what I said.

And I said it because the OP said he lived in the "UK", which is not 1 individual country. Laws vary around the world from country to country, city to city, region to region, etc.
As do legal age requirements and the like.
So in the interest of harm reduction and the possibility of keeping someone legally safe I can see no other appropriate response.

Bluelight policy has always been to advocate harm reduction, reducing and editing out self incriminating posts and other personal info, and keeping our members as legally safe as possible.

 

[shady4091]

I'm all for harm-reduction and I certainly don't want to incriminate anyone on here, but I don't see what living with ones parents, or the area they live in has anything to do with the law when it comes to doing drugs. I don't know what the law is on pot in that area, but it's illegal in most places around the world, yet it's still being openly discussed here. It seems like you might as well be saying no one should smoke pot in that country regardless of whether they live with their parents or not. What if the whole big happy family smoked pot?

1)but I don't see what living with ones parents, or the area they live in has anything to do with the law when it comes to doing drugs.
2)I don't know what the law is on pot in that area
3)yet it's still being openly discussed here.
4)It seems like you might as well be saying no one should smoke pot in that country regardless of whether they live with their parents or not.

1) Then you are wholly ignorant of international drug law.
2) Bingo, which is why are argument(discussion if you'd rather say) is moot.
3) I'm not sure about yourself, but everything I have posted here (some 8,000+ posts) have never had a shred of fact in them. Everything I post is pure fiction and for entertainment purposes only. So I am personally in no danger
4) Not at all, I'm simply saying one should be aware of the laws in their country or state before they attempt such things.

That's absolutely not what you said to begin with. Had you said that, I wouldn't have started up with anything. But no, I don't know a damn thing about international drug laws, and I didn't think that's what this discussion was about. I know that when it comes right down to it, it's not that black and white, but let's say for right now, I'm talking about a country where pot is illegal. All I'm wondering is what you think the difference is between someone who smokes pot in their parents house as opposed to anywhere else. Providing of course, that their parents are fine with it.

I can see that you're a reputable source, and I don't doubt that. You've obviously been around for a long time and I trust in your seniority. I'm sure you know a lot more than I do, so don't think I'm trying to undermine you in any way. This is just something I personally went through when I lived with my parents, so I was just a bit baffled by your first post.

Don't even bother. Grow on your windowsill? Can't hide the smell? Don't be lazy, good things don't come easily. Research, you're committing a crime here, be careful. Don't mean this too harshly; but you're a fucking idiot.
I mean you're in the UK how can you even believe our shitty climate is anywhere near hot enough. And would you commit murder and leave the body to rot and stink out your home? Growing weed stinks, and on show on your window? Seriously are you trolling?

Read up on it, you can buy stuff to provid the light and remove the smell. I'm not going to tell you what because it's in your own interest to read up on your own, I don't want you cutting corners and getting caught.

Good luck, but get your priorities in order. Make sure this is something you're prepared for before you ask your parents.

Yes but we don't KNOW what country he's in. Parent's permission or not it may still be illegal.
Again, Bluelight is for the legal and health safety of their members.

But to answer your question, if a person is living in a country with their parents where cannabis is technically legal(according to the UN there is not 1) then they are of course free to use it in anyway these choose.
However, legally this is not and never will be the case. As said according to the UN there is NO COUNTRY on Earth where cannabis is 100% legal. Period.

Conversely, if one chooses to use cannabis in thier parents' residence in a country where cannabis is illegal(technically the entire world), then they run the risk of legal action against them and their family. I cannot and will not advocate this. Of course your parents' home is safer than walking down the street with a joint, but it is still not safe.

If you at all confused about why I'm saying this then please see the Bluelight User Agreement

The consensus here @ Bl is harm reduction(legal and health) and to not incriminate one's self.

delta_9, the semantics of "country" get a little fuzzy when you're discussing the UK (which officially considers itself a country composed of four other countries), but for the purposes of drug law the United Kingdom is the relevant legal entity.

OP, you're probably not going to be able to convince your parents that this is a good idea. Even if you did, sticking a couple plants on the windowsill is just not going to give the results that you're hoping for.

 

[shady4091]

So basically it just comes down to saying that we here should not be actually advocating illegal drug use of any kind, in any situation or setting. You're absolutely right. I can agree with that 100% and in no way was I saying that you SHOULD go grab a joint and light up in your parents basement. I was just basing this on the idea that IF you're going to smoke up, and it's cool with your parents, might as well do it there. It's just a matter of being a little more careful with my choice of words. Good stuff.
