My Dad Will Never Stop Smoking Pot

Yeah... My dad has smoked pot since well before I was born. He took a lot of acid and cocaine before I was born. He did his fair share of pcp when he was in his mid twenties. He snorted some heroin once.
He has smoked crack during my life time. He only smokes pot daily.
Dude is pushing 60 and he wont let me walk for an hour by myself. He will drive across the city and drive me. He is rarely late. He has never left my sister or myself anywhere. He bought and fixed his own house before he turned thirty (he did NOT come from money) He started and made successful his own business. He donates to a number of charities with the incredibly small amount of money he makes.

Your dad was just a dick.

Exactly!

Well made point.

That is a great post.

Except I suggest you and your sister might just be able to be a little less dependent on your dad these days? ;)
 
Atleast his dad isn't a drunk and a crackhead who sells everything to feed his crack habit. Quit bitching kid and go take responsibility for your own shit.
 
In my opinion this person is a victim of ignorance. Since all they knew was how this father acted on Marijuana, that is all they had to compare it to. They also did not make an effort to look beyond what was happening in their own family.
I am 45, had an alcoholic father and my brother started at 13 and at 55 still smokes pot. I could have chosen to accept that all people where just like my family but I know there is a bigger reality. Turns out my dad was a good drunk. He worked hard, and was kind to his family. Some drunks aren't. My brother, who is forgetful as hell and does have an anger issue needs the pot. It isn't because pot made him angry (our men folk are just a bit high strung), but it has been his medication for it.
Now, one thing I have found pretty consistent among the users I have been around (and been around plenty given the family history) is if they are already a little high strung, and their buzz wears off making them tired, they can get a bit testy. The memory thing, I don't know, my brother has definitely lost a great deal of brain power on that one (certainly not like "half eaten meals" though, that is laughable) He blames the pot for it. I know that anti anxiety drugs do that too. Some correlation? Maybe.

The article is definitely a short sighted, discriminatory assassination on Marijuana, and quite possibly a severely mentally ill father.
 
“As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life,” Mr. Obama said in a lengthy interview with The New Yorker. >source<

One pot smoker is a leader of a country.. the other can't even tend his plants.. its not the pot and the pot may even be a positive treatment for the underlying issue. Im sorry the father struggles with such strong difficulties..sorry its not the grass, and never was.
 
LOL this reminds me of an episode of that show 7th heaven were Simon makes a new friend and he is very timid and always apologizing. Simon's dad see's a huge bag of weed fall out of the kids back pack and he says that he took it from his dad so he wouldn't smoke it. It turns out his dad is an abusive stoner who beats him. His dad perfectly matched the stereotypical abusive alcoholic father in every way yet it wasn't alcohol it was something far more evil.
