Im getting quite paranoid with myself about them finding out I smoke weed on a regular basis. So I ask you all, can you give me as much information possible with the pros/cons of cannabis for the unlikely event in them finding out/confronting me about it. I'd rather be clued up on the facts with sources to fight back with if such a thing happens. Im probably being a bit paranoid like I said, but better safe than sorry. Right?
Kill your parents

just tell your parents that they should be grateful that you're not out sucking dicks on the street for crack.
knowing shit about it never helps if they don't want you to smoke
[QUOTE=Stormcharger;38518593]knowing shit about it never helps if they don't want you to smoke[/QUOTE] this a thousand times. i've done everything trying to convince my mother that weed isn't made by the devil to devour young children into prostitution, but she's still in denial. i just smoke and don't give a fuck nowadays :v:
In the end the facts shouldn't matter, there are negatives to almost anything you put into your body whether it be weed to fast food. It's an activity you enjoy and that shouldn't be judged upon if it does cause damage to your own body. If its illegal where you live, well you are shit out of luck; they can pull the "I don't want that shit in our house because we can get in trouble" thing or be worried for you risking getting arrested. You could weasel your way into convincing them to smoke safely and privately at home to avoid police contact as much as possible, but that comes down to how understanding they are. I haven't really ever confessed to smoking to my parents but rather I always talk about current news regarding marijuana whether it be medical achievements, political progress, and occasionally reminding them what is myth and what is true. Based on their reactions I can see they are reasonable and realize it is not that bad and would accept its legalization, but I know that they would not accept me smoking at home since it still is illegal and getting caught would hurt my future, or them (they both work for the state). But in the end, its up to you, either confront them and try your luck at being allowed to smoke at home or have it blow up in your face and they become aware you smoke and watch your every move, or keep smoking secretly risking getting caught and turning into a drama bomb or find out in the end that it was okay all along to smoke and you didn't have to hide it.
[QUOTE=Stormcharger;38518593]knowing shit about it never helps if they don't want you to smoke[/QUOTE] Wrong, my Mom now accepts and is fine with my use of Cannabis though she doesn't want me to be smoking Cannabis she knows I will whether she gives a fuck or not because my reasoning is so good.
"fuck you mom and dad! weed's good for me! you can just fuck off!" say it
As a person who has been caught already, there is no converting your parents. Not even them grudgingly coming to accept it. Do your best not to have to walk down that path. Take extra precautions and don't be stupid. My parents were light on punishment and everything but I still lost a friendship out of it and probably won't be trusted to go out alone anymore. Easiest precautions are just to not smoke in an area where they can see, or even happen upon (DO NOT SMOKE IN YOUR ROOM!) and store your stash in an area that only you are ever going to know about. My remaining stash (what's left of it after my dealer and I stopped talking) is stored in a pill bottle in a guitar case that hasn't been touched in a little over a year. Luckily my mom doesn't go snooping through my stuff, but the best method is just to remain in the dark and not draw attention to yourself.
you can defend yourself all you want but if your parents don't support it then it'll do a nice blow to your relationship. i know this from experience. in the end they can't really stop you from doing what you do outside the house, unless of course they ground you for eternity. your best bet is to just try to keep it separate from them until you are old enough to be out on your own. until then you are living in your parents' house pretty much for free and you have to respect that to a degree.
smoke them out.
"you don't know what it's like to be my age! god!"
what storm and the dude with the trippy kitty avatar says. parents parent. and that's them teaching you what they think is right and wrong. if they think weed is wrong, then it's wrong. also this is for questions thread.

Anybody have any experience with Orange Chronic and/or Ozium, to keep the smell of mary jane out?
[QUOTE=killover;38533937]Anybody have any experience with Orange Chronic and/or Ozium, to keep the smell of mary jane out?[/QUOTE] I have Vanilla Ozium spray right now! It definitely puts a strong vanilla smell into the air but I wouldn't call it the most effective. At the smoke shop I bought it at(Puff Canada) also sold these "sploofs" that you blew smoke into but had a carbon filter inside it and they apparently work amazingly. I use Orange Chronic to clean my bongs, it works well.
When I first admitted to my parents at 15 that I smoke weed, they were extremely against it. Now 5 years later, my dad has been talking about maybe wanting to try smoking again and possibly getting his medical card. Just lay low and if youre lucky things will get better like they did for me.

I'll get towels under the door, blankets taped up, blowing through a sploof into a fan that's pointed out the window, with another fan the push that extra smoke, tape up all the doors, damn man that's crazy stealth man.
It really depends on your parents and their knowledge and experience with the drug. All these facts wont help you if your parents dont want to accept/listen to them. If your partents know about it and are okay with it though its a lot easier because you dont have to hide all your stuff, you dont have to worry about the red eyes and its generally better because you dont have to fear about them finding out that you smoke. Telling them is extremly risky though, try describing it as something like a few friends sharing a beer talking about various things, playing video games. That's what I did.
I was once in a similar situation, but then things got awesome and I accidentally got my mom high.. I'll explain how my mom found out. Basically I was hiding my stuff in the basement in the pantry, and for a few months everything was fine until one day my mom questioned why I was in the basement on one occasion (when I was coming upstairs empty-handed) and on another occasion when she came super quietly into the basement when I was rolling a joint and asked me what the smell was. So a few weeks down the road she texted me one day when I was at school and told me that she found it. I told her about how it helps me and that if she promised to keep an open mind, i'd promise to tell her all about it. So she said "Of course I'll be open-minded, I'm your mother" and ever since then she has been cool with it. I even bought a vaporizer, and we organized a better hiding spot together and things are more awesome than I ever imagined they could possibly be!
My dad smokes more weed than I do, he's pretty cool.
It all depends on the mindset and knowledge your parents already have about drugs and about you. If they found out and are pissed as fuck you won't be able to convince them, in fact they will probably be even more pissed if you try to throw facts at them because parents usually don't want to be lectured by their children, especially when it comes to matters like that when their parental instincts kick in and they just see the drugs as poison that is corrupting you. [editline]22nd November 2012[/editline] I got lucky in that my mom is tolerant. She thinks it's stupid to use drugs but she believes I have the right to choose what I do with my life.

I made the mistake of believing I could convince my parents that my weed smoking wasnt going to be an issue, like mindtwistah said, youre just going to piss them off more if theyve already decided against it.
If my parents finds out that I'm toking, I'll be dead. - I mean it like dead, dead. It's kill or be killed.
4 years ago I was caught with amphetamine and weed. Autistic as I am I started studying every aspect that exists on pharmacology and pharmacokinetics almost obsessively, I won every argument my mother could ever come up with. Today, I'm basically her dealer. Knowledge is power. You just need to know how to use it properly.
I have smoked since I was in grade 10. If there is one piece of advice I can give you it's this: You can't hide forever, you will either have to quit or fess up eventually. The thing is that sure it is super awkward and hard at first, but so long as your parents don't disown you, and you maintain that you did the research and made an informed opinion for yourself, eventually they will lighten up slightly. Once you are on a basis of truth with your parents and you have nothing to hide, not only will you be feeling better and less guilt about hiding around, but you will also develop a closer and stronger relationship with your parents. Remember, it is better for them to hear it from you, than for them to catch you or pull you out of jail.
It'll be different for different parents, [I]if[/I] mine find out I'm hoping they won't care. They can't really complain, my dad used to take all kinds of shit, so did my mum, I mean they only stopped smoking weed when I was 6. They used to smoke and play zelda after I'd gone to bed, they stopped because one morning I came down and said "Smells like zelda" As said above, its better if you tell them, not your local law enforcement.
