I'm not going to just go right out and tell them I smoke. But in the event they catch me high or find some bud. What should I do.

They realize weed isnt a very bad drug, but they very much despise cigarettes, weed, etc. I'm going away to college this fall and I think they wouldnt be too mad at me, just very very dissapointed , and I dont want them to be that dissapointed in me. What to say?

First of all, make sure you're informed about marijuana. Coming to this site and others like www.erowid.org will help. Explain to them why it should be legalized and why there is nothing wrong with smoking the herb. You might also want to explain to them why you do it. Sometimes it can be difficult to say something like that to your parents, so you might want to direct them here, let them read it for themselves.

I agree with Baily In addition though, I would reccomend picking up a good book on the subject, like "marijuana myths, marijuana facts", or "our right to drugs." There is just something about a physical book that a website cannot capture. When you do talk to the I would emphasis why you use marijuana and what it does for you. I would also stress it's non-addictive, not toxic nature.

Good Luck

tell them you only smoke at weekends when you go out.
You only do it as a substitute for alcohol.
always remember alcohol is actually making physically addictive, weed not(tell them that fact)

personaly, i would say dont tell them until you think they are ready to hear it, maybe goto dinner with your mom and let her know, just talk to her or both of them. although i would have to say moms seem more easy going if you get them in the mood.

my mother and i go out to dinner once a month, its a good oppurtunity to get to know each other more, i have told her about ganja and everything about it, she understand and one day says she will even try it. i told her she has nothing to lose, the hardest parts of her years are over now, just take it slow, and use good timing. then the blocks will fall into place.

peace,

i would say be honest. why do you smoke? do your parents know why you smoke? lying is something i wouldn't reccomend. it is more hassle than its worth. just be honest. and if the situation is right, offer to smoke 'em up. i do all the time. (of course, everyone in my extended family except my little sister)

But it depends on your parents.
Some parents might be cool about it, other could throw you out of the house and not speak to you for a long time or something.

All the above is good advice, just remember that your actions and behavior will greatly affect your parents' perception of marijuana. If you prove to them that you can handle smoking and do well in school and other activities, it goes a long way to show just how harmless mj is when used responsibly.

Say ay- at least it's not anything that
kills brain cells {like cocaine, alcohol, and even
cigarettes} and that it's not physically addictive
{like even caffeine} and that it's your choice and you'll
take responsibility for any consequences. If they
ask you to stop; even if you don't stop; or not right
away, just say you will (to please them) and to prevent
you from going to jail or prison from them calling the
authorities on you.

maybe just my mom is like this but if i breake all "rules" she gives me and make everything sound worse then it really is she understands more. i´ve made her think a lot of stuff about me and then i said that i only smoke weed and told her all the facts and now she´s pretty cool with it.
