Caught smoking weed!

so heres the deal. my parents have been suspicious of me smoking weed for about 2 weeks now and 2 days ago they adressed me about it asking if I smoked before and all this s&^. I was like yeah I’ve tried it before.I lied right to theire face. I like to smoke a lot put it that way. I started about 6 months ago and ever since I started life has been great no worries in the world. now when they found out that I tried it they punished me for a month and cant do &&^ all I got is my laptop. I have to go to counsiling take random drug tests and cant hang with my best friend anymore. now im think I should just say f*&^ them and still smoke because in about a year and a half ill be 18 and can actually say ^%$& them. I dont see why they think its so bad. my grades have been better than ever this year, and workout daily and play soccer. its not like im a bad kid. any advice?

Answer #1

like others have said, they’re disappointed in you. I haven’t personally been caught, but my parents have asked me and they made me see someone who talked to me about drugs, but I never got caught yet. I honestly don’t have a “real” answer for your scenario because I think that it is unfair to be busted for just trying it, I mean, innocent kids try it and they go on as normal, it doesn’t mean *. I would just try to explain to them that it was just once and you hated it and you never want to try it again.

Answer #2

mandyloo, In the bible it says to obey the law and the law is that weed is illegal so there for you are breaking the law wich is a sin and as for drinking it says that you can drink as long as you dont get drunk but as I said im not perfect and yes I did get drunk a few times but im not proud of it and I dont do it any more because I am triing to do the right things.

Answer #3

Well it is hard to believe that there is this many people on here that think it is ok to break the law and go on sining as long as your not under your parents house I will pray for all of you and im not just saying that im really going to pray for you cause I think that you should do what is right no matter what im not perfect and I know people make mistakes but you should use your head and do what is right.

Answer #4

stop smoking it, it kills your damn brain cells. and screws up your short term memory

Answer #5

weed eases the ways of life. its not a easy way out or an “easy button” you cant say anything negative unless you have tried it

Answer #6

hi my boyfriend had smoked pot since he was 10 hes 21 now and beleive me people dont think its addictive it is it causes mental illnesses he has now cut down just dont go too heavy on it

Answer #7

jeckada Your facts are false there ma’am. Smoking weed does NOT decrease your chance’s of holding on to a job, also me and my fiance have never had a problem affording things because we smoke either. Also, he said that he does not smoke in his parents house or keep drugs in their house, so for you telling him he’s stupid for risking those things, is void. I agree that his parents were right for being upset, being as that’s their child, but I dont agree with you stereotyping marijuana smokers.

Answer #8

Well I’m 15 and I’ve been smoking weed since I was 10, and my mom let’s me smoke. But if I were you I would just go somewhere else to smoke it. I mean you said your almost 18 so I would just smoke somewhere else, if you’re parents don’t want you smoking at there house that sucks, but you should listen to them. Oh, and for all the people saying people who smoke marijuana are stupid just because you smoke pot does not mean that you have to be stupid and not get good grades. I smoke and I make A’s and B’s. loveable913 is totally right. So, all the people sitting there saying everything bad about weed you all need to go get facts before you start saying things about it. Most of the people commenting this drink I’m sure. If you drink alcohol that’s a drug, yes it is legal, but it’s still a drug, so wouldn’t that make you stupid? Get the facts before you start saying things. Marijuana isn’t bad the media makes it out to be bad.

Answer #9

Research: Marijuana is both emotionally and mentally addictive. Once an individual becomes addicted to marijuana it develops into part of who they believe themselves to be. Avoiding their friends who do not use, the addict will gravitate to others that do. Marijuana is a topic that is always on their mind, whether it be thinking about the next time they will be able to get high or where their going to get their next sack. When someone is addicted to marijuana eventually their friends and the people close to them only know how they act when their stoned because they no longer do anything without first smoking. Their constant abuse is due to the misconception that marijuana is what they need to solve their problems. Sometimes addicts will take their stash with them wherever they go, just in case an opportunity arises and they are able to take a couple hits. They may even go through several dealers in order to make sure they always have a constant supply of marijuana - For assistance Call 1-800-405-8409: http://WWW.marijuanaaddiction.info/

Answer #10

OMG, thank you mandyloo! you are sooo effing right. you have a veryy good argument, and I would not have been able to say that to jeckada because I didn’t know most of that.

so, jeckada, why don’t you just stop arguing and realize you are wrong. thanks. :]

Answer #11

no I have never smoked in teh house or keep any weed or weed products in it

Answer #12

Yeah I shouldnt say anything, cus everyone said everything already, but I’m still going to do it. Weed is illegal. It IS still a drug, no matter what anyone says! Above the influence, kid. Is it really fun when someone talks to you and you don’t even realize it? No, it’;s not. I hate weed. I used to hang out with people who did it and it was awful. I hated it. It’s bad for you, its illigal, ITS-A-DRUG. A drug, people. There is a reason why it’s illegal, you know? Maybe cus its no good? Yeah. Im from Holland, and it IS legal here. That is so stupid. Anyway, I odnt live on Holland, so yeah, I don’t mind. Its illegal where I live, so thats good. I have good friends now, who are smart enough not to smoke weed, so I’m happy. Sorry if I offended anyone. Its still your life, and you can do what you want to. Just stating the facts.

Answer #13

u know what just because you do weed dont mean you are a bad person. I say take a break and then when you are 18 just go for it its your live not theres. fell free to fun mail me

Answer #14

Jeckada- hun please you sound dumb, you are just stereotyping people you know nothing about. God supposably created earth and everthing in it right? well news flash weed is a plant and all natural. I’ve smoked 4 3 years and I have straight A’s and even graduating a year early because im on top of my s**t. WEED IS NOT A DRUG! (or at least shud not b classified as one)

Answer #15

Wow, you must be really stupid, go to church, clean up your act, give your life to God and stop doing illegal activities, your gonna get caught anyway, and even if you don’t your killing brain cells. Here is my suggestion, stop the drugs, go to school, get scholarships, get excellent grades (you have to do that to get scholarships), go to college, get a recession proof job afterwards and be responsible.

Answer #16

I think… whether they ask you to stop smoking weed, or to stop wearing your shoes on their new white carpet, you should have some respect for their request. That’s manners, plain and simple, aside from health issues, the law, or morals. They have told or asked you, and you live with them. As you say, you’ll be old enough soon to get your own place and make your own decisions…

Answer #17

All you pot heads aren’t very smart for doing stuff like that. Its kind of like a way out for you saying hey I cant handle life. An easy way out if you ask me it is like backing down from a fight I have never done pot and im just happy and it ticks me off that there are people out there that dont care what this world is coming to cause there are some smart people out there that could do a lot for this world but they would rather do stupid stuff and say oh lifes to hard where is my easy button. As for you going and trying to get back at your parents that is stupid cause they are trying to help you. They love you and you need to think about it they are going to be the ones that are there for you when you need them cause friends will come and go and you dont need to listen to the people on here telling you to do the wrong thing cause do you think that they care what happens to you are they going to take the blame when you get in trouble or better yet are they going to take the punishment for your sins?

Answer #18

Kimssiei: “Above the influence, kid.” - Hey, I am above the influence, and I smoke weed. Nobody influenced my decision to start tokin up but me. I liked hanging out with potheads long before I started smoking the herb, but still used to decline all of their offers to smoke myself for a few years. Then I started researching and found out that most of the negative “facts” associated with it are actually false, and that it isn’t really bad aside from the chance of getting caught. So one day I made the educated decision to participate in their smoke session, enjoyed it, and have been smoking/vaporizing ever sense.

And to Iancallot: “they punished me for a month and cant do ^* all I got is my laptop.” - OP

*One thing I don’t understand, OP, is how you got caught if you say you don’t use or keep marijuana in your house at all. Why, after 6 months of being in the clear, did they just start questioning you about it 2 weeks ago?

Answer #19

jeckada You say smoking weed is a sin? Please back up your information, because NO where in the bible does it say anything about smoking marijuana. Also, marijuana, is a plant, it is not mixed with anything, it is not made by humans, it was made by God, if that’s who you believe in. Right? Also, have you ever drank alcohol ma’am? Because if your saying weed is a sin, then alcohol must also be a sin because alcohol is actually a drug in it self. Dont believe me, look it up. It is a drug, it’s just a legal one. Alcohol must not be a sin, since they serve wine in church as the body of christ. Right? I think you need to get your facts straight before you tell anyone that you will pray for them. Which is also very offensive to someone if they are not your religion by the way.

Answer #20

YOU KNOW, I LUV HOW THIS WHOLE PAGE TURNED INTO A PLACE FOR people TO H8 ON THAT JECKADA CHICK. ITS EFFING HILARIOUS! OH AND THANKS TO MANDYLOO AND FRIENDS TO PUTTING AN END TO HER BIBLE-SPUTTERING

Answer #21

I think your parents dont understand, and weren’t quite sure how to handle this problem so they did what they thought was best. I understand how you smoke to have a chance to get away from life,because sometimes you just need to get away from all the problems. But I personally think that you should not let it be an addiction. You should try and find something else to keep you busy. Im not saying you should stop, you should still do it if you feel its necessary but dont let it be control you,because in the end,after a couple of hours of happiness, you are still stuck with your life and you are still you. If you love so much keep doing its organic lol,but just be careful,and know there are other things in life…

Answer #22

I just had another discusion with my mom about weed and teh first thing she automatically thinks if I do weed which I dont even call a drug is she thinks im goign right downt the drain and ending up no where. very sterotypical. the media has a lot to do with this.

Answer #23

I have tried weed, well I smoked it for 6 months, an is stoped wots the point in it? its crap my bro has smoked weed since he was 11 hes now 21 an his head is so f*ked up because of it! I dont care what anyone says it is addictive, I seen sence luckily even though it was after 6 months but atleast I’ve stil stoped drugs are 4 mugs! its a mugs game,

Answer #24

k looks like your not a falier in school but just think when your 18 you you cn be tried as an adult and even sent to prisin you may evn find it hard to get decent payin job because if you have stuff like that on your record people want want you to work 4 them but hey is your life do what you want but where your going now wont get you far

Answer #25

Well, what you obviously do not realize, that your parents can be charged for allowing you to have weed, and if it is their house, or car, they can loose their property, you could go to juvie, if they have professional licenses they can loose them, and that is for starters. As for you, I do not know why you think you have no worries when smoking pot…that just proves you have a problem, especially when you say that you like to smoke a lot. Part of becoming an adult is learning how to face your problems, not ignore them because you are under the influence. Eventually, pot smoking not only changes the brain chemistry, it does and will affect your lungs. Long term pot smoking kills motivation in people, and just like drinking, people on pot do stupid things. Pot also slows reaction time, and can stay in your system for 6 weeks to 6 months; depending on your fat stores - and since your brain has a lot of fat, a lot of THC is stored there. Did you know that Bob Denver and George Harrison developed lung cancer from pot smoking? Pot has over 40 carcinogenic agents. THC also has been shown to promote memory loss and emotional addiction which very realisticaqlly makes this a gateway drug to harder drugs, because people used to being high are not satisfied with that high and want bigger and better highs. This material is not harmless, nor is it legal. If you want to be a pot head when you are an adult, then go for it, but do not expect your parents to bail you out of your problems. They really love you, other wise they would not have restricted you. Believe it or not, it is for your own good. You need to be in complete control of your mind in order to succeed. If you think otherwise, you are lying to yourself.

Answer #26

Your parents are upset because you are their child and weed is illegal. I am not saying I have anything against marijuana, but it is illegal and most parents dont want their children participating in illegal activities. They are just worried about you, that’s what parents do. You should stop for now while you are under their roof, especially if they are randomly drug testing you. Also, dont smoke in your parents house, that is completely disrespectful. Why not wait until you are 18 or have moved out, then you can do what you like. Your parents aren’t being mean or unfair, they are doing what they think is right for their child.

Answer #27

Thank you mandyloo To jekada: I am so sick of you judgemental, stereo-typical christians. There is nothing wrong with pure herb. God made herb, and doctors even perscribe medical herb because of it’s relaxing and pain soothing effects! So lay off and don’t judge.

Answer #28

honestly id rather be caught by my parents than the cops they just dont want you to get in trouble with the law ridiculous laws that is so I wouldnt worry too much bout them id worry bout being protected check out flexyourrights.org

lol dont listen to what people tell u, its all misleading information you need to do your own research and see for urself

These are some of the comments I have copied from a forum

-pharmaceuticals are known to kill more people than illegal drugs

-marijuana is the number 1 cash crop in the world it serves as a natural medicine and has many other uses thats why they prohibited it so big companies can make more profit thanks to “bad journalism”

-can also help aids patients, aids diminishes appetite have them smoke a joint and they regain their appetite counteracting the illness

-no one can die from smoking cannabis and has been no known deaths compared to everything else including alcohol, tobacco, etc..

I myself have asthma and smoking opens up my airways making it easier to breathe with no side effects when medically legalized in my state I look foward to becoming a patient for prescription marijuana. 12 states have already legalized it along with other countries in the world and more following my job is to educate people that are not aware of the plants uses

re-legalize!

-I did most of my research through websites, books, magazines, and the news norml.org high times magazine etc..

  • theres more to it than just getting high and I believe legalizing it would make this a better world to live in

-God bless the whole crop!

  • and for people that dont smoke, you dont need to smoke it to support it

-all the better reason for the government to legalize.. couple reasons why it should be legalized: -will be removed from black market and stop empowering gang members -medical reasons -would be sold like alcohol, remember alcohol was once prohibited too (in stores away from children, have to be 21+) -would be a law that you cant drive while intoxicated on weed -prison population would lower (prisons are overcrowding with nonviolent offenders) -keep patients from being convicted -would provide millions of jobs for people -would make us an independent country (fuel, etc.., debt free america)

people with an addiction (including hard drugs) shouldnt be thrown in jail, they need help theres more people in jail with mental illnesses than there are in mental institutions

the list goes on

  • the War on Drugs is a failure, its a war on its own people. policies need to be changed we pay billions in taxpayers money to keep the war going and neither side is winning thats just a waste of our tax money I wonder what they do with all that money.. those greedy bastards just sell drugs back onto the street, you can even check urself on that there was a time when there was a cia operation transporting drugs overseas into america the government also provided Rick Ross with plenty of heroin to go around, course making money from it

the truth must be exposed, theyre dirty work must stop!

-Of course we can do something about it, we all just need to unite screw the federal government remember slavery? if no one stood up im pretty sure it would still be going on people were tortured, beaten, killed and thrown in jail but that didnt stop them standing up for their rights eventually slavery was abolished same with alcohol prohibition eventually became re-legalized

  • its like theres some kind of conspiracy going on I sense the government is up to no good and trying to control us. credit cards, money, and now they have chips that can be implanted in skin for uselful reasons but if in the wrong hands well were pretty much fuct they hiding the truth from us its dangerous to be right when the government is wrong they got theyre privacy but we dont. they want to know everything were doing on our leisure time

get up stand up!

  • marijuanas not anti-establishment because its illegal, its illegal because its anti-establishment

all facts stated have been double-checked and confirmed want to learn more? norml.org americandrugwar.org hightimes.com lets all make this a better place to live in!

Answer #29

That shows you how dumb it is to smoke weed right there if you are taking chances on losing things that you have worked so hard for you might not have things right now but someday you will well maybe I’ve noticed that a lot of the weed smokers can’t ever afford much. It also makes it harder to get and keep a good job.

Answer #30

Thats a dragg. They’re disappointed in you.. I mean,, seriously.. no parent wants their child smoking pot. But.. YOu can get them backk w/ saying/knowing how they did it.

My parents did .haha.

cough, cough,, HIPPIES.

Answer #31

First off if you read my post I said I have nothing againt marijuana, and I never said if I used it or not. For your information, I do, and have for a very long time. He asked why his parents were upset, and I told him. Coming from a parent perspectvie myself I can understand why the reacted the way they did. They are just concerned.

Answer #32

thats my bad. sorry for accusing. I tried to reason with them about smoking it certain times and all this stuff. but it flew by their heads just because it is ilegal

Answer #33

Their your parents though, that’s what you need to understand. When it comes to illegal activities, there is no reasoning with them. You say you are almost 18 right? I would just lay low for a while, and then move out, then you can do what you want. Do not smoke under their roof though, it’s disrespectful, and also it can cause a lot of problems for your parents if weed was caught in their house. Did you know that they could lose the house if cops found weed in it? Just respect their wishes, you dont have much longer. Good luck.

Answer #34

WOW, thank you mandyloo! I agree with what you said to jeckada. I see nothing wrong with smoking the green. this is to jeckada: just because someone smokes weed does not mean that they are saying life is too hard. to me, smoking weed is like drinking. it takes you away from life for alittle bit and lets you have some fun. I love being wild and crazy, it’s just who I am. yes, I agree with all you guys, soo, nickpic57, I advize you to stop smoking as long as they random drug test you. smoking weed isn’t worth going to jail or taking drug classes. I heard that they suck major @$$.

well, thats all I got to say.. hope I helped in some way..

Answer #35

just doent do it for a wile then talk to your parents and be like, all the drug tests say im not doin drugs and I cant belive that you cant trust your own child.

HoPe ThIs HeLpEd!

Answer #36

jeckada These are also sins that are listen in the bible, that are now believed to be okay. ASTROLOGY Deut 4:19; 17:3-7; Isa 47:13,14; Acts 7:42; Ezek 8:16 NOT SPANKING A DISOBEDIENT CHILD Pv 13:24 WEARING THE CLOTHING OF THE OPPOSITE SEX Deut 22:5 WOMEN-THAT ADORN THEMSELVES WITH GOLD, PEARLS, COSTLY ARRAY 1 Tim 2:9 FILTHY DREAMERS Jude 8 CALLING A MAN YOUR FATHER UPON THE EARTH Mt 23:9

It also says that it’s a sin for men to have long hair. I want to know why some parts of the bible, we can forget about because times have changed, yet some parts we can’t. It doesn’t make since, and I dont think that’s a good argument for this topic.

Answer #37

Hell you’re happy and life has been great for you, good for you. Smoke that sht who cares just as long you kow what you’re doing then fck them.

Answer #38

amblessed I must say this though. That may be true for people with addictive personalities, but it’s not true for everyone. I have been in addictive disorder classes and alcoholics anonymous classes, both for myself and for other people. They say all the time that most people can drink, try drugs, smoke marijuana, etc., and put it down just as easily. The only way that you get addicted is if you have an addictive personality to begin with. It is a disease, that not everyone has. That’s like saying that every person who has a drink every now and then is an alcoholic, which is not true in any way. Also, alcohol is way more addictive than marijuana, if you dont beleive me, do some more research, and alocohol is legal and you dont see people giving other’s a hard time for drinking occasionaly now do you.

Answer #39

Okay, first off Jeckada, you have no idea what you are talking about so you can stop right now, smoking weed is not a sin, god made it, obviously knowing that people would smoke it to get high, also noone should critisize someone for the choices they make in life, live your own f*ckin life and let people do what they want, I smoked weed for a year and a half and quit because I wanted to, mainly to get rid of old friends, nickpin57, I understand your parents point of view, they had high expectations for their child, as most parents do, and they just didn’t want to see you grow up and get into drugs, now I also dont count weed as a drug but everyone also believes that it is a “gateway drug” and will lead to other things, I think this is true to a point, depending on if you have an addictive personality or crave a better high. I suggest you wait till you move out or smoke pot with discretion, hope this helped.
