So I recently found out that drug use runs in the family. I knew both my parents had dabbled in weed as teenagers, but I was surprised to discover, through an estranged friend of theirs, that they still smoke it frequently. In fact, as she put it, "There wasn't a day me or your mum picked you up from school that we weren't stoned." And to think of all the effort I've gone to hiding my own hallucinogenic use from them.

I knew my mum had once taken magic mushrooms. The way she told the story, she'd taken them by mistake because her friends hadn't told her they were psychedelic; following this my dad (before they were married) turned up, got angry to find her high, and drove her to her parents' house where she had to deal with them. I was always skeptical, because she has a rebellious streak and besides, I've eaten mushrooms, and they're not the sort of thing you gobble down because you like the taste. Well, turns out she did indeed take them on purpose, and she'd gone to her parents' house because the effects weren't kicking in. (Once there, of course, they did.) What really surprised me, though, was that my dad was also on shrooms at that party. He just didn't strike me as the type.

"He just didn't strike me as the type," I told my friend.

Then she laughed and told me they'd also snorted coke at their 40th birthday party - and that wasn't the only time. They'd also been into speed when they were younger.

8o No fucking way. The player got played?

My sister always insisted she'd seen them smoking, but my mum's parents both died of lung cancer, so I had a hard time believing her. Thick of me not to see the alternative, really.

Anyway. My mum's birthday is in a couple of weeks. I've bought her a san pedro cactus cutting, and another two for myself. Probably one of the more shocking presents ever. It does worry me slightly that she so proudly and confidently declared at my 21st that "neither of my kids takes drugs."

To guage how well she's likely to take it, I've given her The Doors of Perception and asked her to read it by the end of the week because I need to return it to the library, and have a chat to see what she thinks of mescaline. Hope this goes well. A family that trips together stays together, I figure. And anyway, I'm sick of the secrets I know we've all kept from each other for years.

Who else has family tripping tales?

That seems to me like you've already sent a very clear message of psychedelic use.

As for me, the extent of my knowledge is that my father drinks alcohol, used to smoke cigarettes, and very rarely has cigars, and that my mother drinks alcohol occasionally and in the past (her teens) has smoked weed and taken what she told me her friends said capsule of mescaline (which she says had no noticeable effect). She knows I've tried alcohol and used psychedelics on at least one occasion, and probably suspects I've tried weed (which is wrong, I might add).
 
Doors of Perception came up casually in a conversation and I mentioned it was by the author of Brave New World and that it was a surprising little book about mescaline. She said she was curious. Then I found out all of the above mentioned. So I went out and got it for her, as in "re: that conversation..."
 
Thats fucking epic. A relative of mine told me that my dad used to have a passion for growing pot plants, so i figured he was quite a stoner.

Happy life
 
lol, so you find out that your mum tripped once on mushrooms in her youth, and decide mescaline would be a good present for her bday? good luck man
 
Tread carefully, and think of the possible negative aspects to this change in your relationship. You may very well find out some things you don't want to know. If your mother is against your use (as per her announcement at your birthday party), what makes you think she'll accept drugs from you, let alone trip with you?

I'm a firm believer of the role of a parent and the boundaries that are often in place - they're there for a reason a lot of the time.

This may very well work okay for you, but I think perhaps you should think long and hard about this, and then TALK with her before gifting her with drugs on her birthday! How are the rest of your family going to feel? Is this setting a good example for your sister? Drug use has a time and place IMO, and the family home with your parents just doesn't sit quite right with me - no judgement, as all families are different, but I think you should reconsider. Giving drugs to your mother as a birthday present just seems quite inappropriate.
 
The first time I did acid was with my mom. It's a different situation, though. Me and my mom are very close and open with one another, and we both know about one another's drug usage. However, your mother doesn't know that you've ever used drugs, nor does she know that you know she has used psychedelics before. You also only know of her taking mushrooms once. How do you know that she'd still be interested in doing them again? Don't forget that she is older now, and that some parents would find it quite awkward and 'taboo' to be doing drugs with their children. But if you feel comfortable, then by all means.. just take into consideration that there are many possible ways that this could go, and be accepting of the fact that it may not go the way you want it to.

Getting high with the family is like the last middle class taboo hahah. I've been around them on drugs (the hyperactive hypertalkative speedfreak high) and once I got past the terror of discovery I ended up enjoying it. It's actually been our closest times of recent memory. Fucked up? Quite possibly. I'm desperate to share my awakening with drugs but I've been shut out by most friends, my girlfriend, and when my family did "uncover" me recently (By mt bitch whore of a sister deciding to snitch) their reactions were so predictably irrational - it was rather depressing.
 
My parents don't mind me, being an adult and all, using not near them for the most part, but they'd never be so cool as to do it themselves.

It'd be too awkward for me as well. On an entirely different wavelength than them lol.
 
I thought long and hard about it, and even decided not to go through with it after an acid trip that got quite serious. But in the end I bought it for her, waited with baited breath for a reaction, and she was very happy with it... and amused... and even guessed I might have been leading up to it. She hasn't decided whether she'll eat it or just plant it for ornamental purposes, but I'm giving her a full briefing on the effects if she wants to try it. Very happy. :)
 
Haha there's no way it could happen in my family... i've got a very anti-drug family lol

My mom won't touch caffeine, alcohol, practically any medicine (no advil, cold medicine, cough medicine, etc.). My dad drinks beer. They would kill me if they knew I tried psychedelics. They know I've done MDMA and weed but that's all. I'll keep it that way.
My mom is very musical however and I think she would love an acid trip. If only she would go for it ... she would love it!
 
this would never happen, but i think my dad would absolutely love the experience and really benefit from it. he is very open-minded and independent (my parents are divorced), but has been dealing with the loss of his mother lately (she passed away about 3-4 months ago.) he told me he ate acid in the past as he saw numerous grateful dead, the who, etc. shows in the 60's and 70's, but i also think he believes i'm past my 'drug stage', so i don't really want to pull out a strip of L. it would be awesome though.

i could not trip with my mother ever and i love her to death.
 
I personally have a bit of experience about the "parents and drugs" subject. My parents are regular pot users. So when I started smoking pot at 15, I told my dad. I went to see him every 2 to 4 week-ends and most times I was there, we smoked some weed and drank some booze with his girlfriend. He told me the extent of his drug use: he'd dabbled in most drugs including coke and heroin, but had never touched the needle. I later learned that he was still using coke now and then, but not regularly at all. Drinking and smoking pot with him brought us much closer, since he could be emotionally distant and depressive during my childhood (partly due to alcoholism, which he has now overcome) and especially since my parents divorced when I was 11.

I didn't tell my mom about my pot smoking until the age of 17. When she's got pot, she smokes one or two joints in the evening. I have also found salvia in the house (and I'm 100% sure it's hers), and she told me she had done mushrooms before. My stepdad is also a drinker and usually has one or two glasses of hard liquor before dinner and drinks wine with his food, getting refills until he goes to bed. It took a few months before I started actually smoking weed (and when we had the opportunity, eating pot-laced cookies) with her and my stepdad.

Initially it brought me closer to them, like it did with my dad. But eventually, I really started thinking it might not a very good idea to drink liquor and smoke weed every night. At least when they didn't know, I didn't smoke weed before bed, period. At the time, I had sleeping problems and the pot and booze helped put me to sleep more easily. Now, I can't go to bed without being stoned or drunk even when I'm not with them. And looking back on it, it would probably have been a better idea to wait until I was out of the house to start getting high with my folks. It's not like we're shooting heroin every night, but still it does affect the nature of our relationship. I mean really, your parents turning into your best buddies can look like a fun prospect when you're a teenager who has a conflictual relationship with your parents (I'm not talking about the OP here, since he's older than me), but it can also be not such a great thing.

Just a little note: I wouldn't say I'm completely honest about my drug use to my folks, either. They have no idea I do other things than pot.

Another perspective... I've smoked & tripped with my oldest daughter (she's 23) quite a few times. My wife knows about the herb, but she's very against other drugs, so both my daughter & I have to keep things a secret from her. She'd prolly divorce me if she had a clue that I trip as much as I do! I've always been very discreet about my consumption - going out into the garage to smoke, etc. - and there's no evidence of drug use in the house. I keep everything carefully hidden away from everyone. My other daughter doesn't partake, but she's OK with it. I've also partied quite a bit with my oldest daughters friends, which gets kinds weird when they come to the house when my wifes home, but mostly I see them at concerts & fests. So this all makes it very odd in that I can party with & around my kids & not my wife. (As you can probably tell, our relationship is no longer very good).

Anyways, I've turned my daughter on to some fun substances including bk-MDMA, 6-APB & 2C-e and she's gotten me some great medical herb, cid & shrooms. Drugs are not a major part of our relationship though, largely because she now lives a long ways away. She smokes way more herb than me, but I trip & roll more than her, so I guess it works out. I wonder if she still lived at home, would we be sharing more experiences??

I'd be thrilled if my daughter got me a San Pedro cutting, but I'd have to be mighty careful to not let my old lady know what it is. I wonder what she'd think when I harvested a chunk...
 
My brother is the one who got me into drugs.... One winter break we decided to get drunk and we did but then I got an idea to smoke some weed. (He would always talk about it).. I never saw him so happy in his life and he rushed upstairs to get a pipe. When he came back down to the basement he handed me the piece and showed me how to hit it and I didn't expect it to get so hot (being a noob and holding the carb shut). So as I'm taking hits listening to Notorious Thugs my sister is over on the weight lifting thingy passed out because she downed a whole bottle of this butterscotch liquor....

Ever since that day we would all get high together and even smoke with my brothers father. My mother got so pissed when she found out we were smoking pot and getting drunk with our brother and her ex-husband. Lol... Whoopsies. This was when my sister was fourteen, I was fifteen and my brother was twenty three I believe he was twenty three or turning it.

After that we tripped on shrooms all together. We had to trip outside cause his father has swords throughout the house and we probably would of killed ourselves on one of them. We were going to do e all together but didn't end up doing so even though his father was rolling downstairs with a schitzo (the chick was fuckin crazy).

Good memories but now my brother is just a fullblown alcoholic even though he always has been... Now I don't talk to him especially after when he tried to fight me drunk and flipped out on me even though I was taking care of his kids. Shit things do change.... We use to be all so close but now he's not the same and his girlfriend is a bitch. I'm still close with my sister though and we would smoke pot whenever but the rest of my drug use is basically a secret from them... Well my sister knows I smoked crack but doesn't know about everything else and I never told my brother shit again cause he ratted me out to my father cause I told everyone how fucking much of a psycho drunk he is....

Lol so yeah my story of "tripping" with the family went to shit. The only thing I will ever do with family again is smoke weed but probably only with my sister.

We would also smoke pot with my two cousins and those were super good times (one of them had dried shrooms in their room lol) I would do that again... I also found out three years ago another one of my cousin smokes pot but wasn't at the time because she was pregnant. So in the end a lot of my family members have done or used drugs. Some aren't cool with it but others are.... Some experiences I would love to relive again and others not so much.
