Answer 1

Don't.

Answer 2

I've smoked weed since I was 15. I'm 25 now, and I still smoke weed. I'm successful in my line of work; I'm an otherwise law-abiding citizen; I work out and play sports and eat well - in other words, I'm not the stereotype. But I DO think there's a stereotype for a reason...lol. I think I probably smoked way too much when I was your age. I'm not saying that as "advice," that's just my feeling about my experience. I don't think there's anything intrinsically wrong with weed, and I think teenagers are bound to experiment with weed and alcohol and a lot of other things, and the best thing to do is be reasonable and realistic about it. Getting messed up every once in a while on the weekend is fun and harmless. I think it's ridiculous to pretend that drugs are "all bad," and smoking weed will turn you into an drooling moron who can't get an erection (I've got some news for ya on both those fronts, "Qualia").

But what to tell your parents? Well, if you really thought there was nothing wrong with what you were doing, it seems that the best thing to do would be to have the courage of your convictions and cop to it, and deal with the consequences. But it kind of depends on your parents. You ARE living under their roof, but that doesn't automatically mean they're always "right." Still, hiding a lot of crap from your parents just turns out to be a pain. It really depends.

Answer 3

I am an adult and I love weed. The key phrase here is "i am an adult". You aren't. I understand you love weed. I loved it too when I started smoking at 16. However you have to respect your parents rules.

I'm not telling you off or saying that you are too young to love it. Honestly I think weed was a great thing for me, but my parents did not. Your life is going to be a lot easier if you don't fight this battle with your parents.

Wait until you go to college and smoke it then. Until then, obey your parents. Do you really want them to stop you from going out with your friends? Do you want them to not trust you enough to let you drive next year? Until then, be smart and DO NOT get caught.

This may end up being something you never discuss with your parents. I certainly dont discuss it with mine and I am 29.

Answer 4

Its not about what you enjoy. If it was they would let you do anything that made you happy. Its about taking care of you. So until 18 they are responsible for you. Usually marijuana is used to fill in something thats missing. I would ask your parents for help in quitting otherwise don't discuss how much you enjoy it you will not likely get the ok you are looking for.

Answer 5

Why do you need to tell them? I mean, what do you see happening with that? So they can understand you and support majijuana? Figure out WHY you want to tell them first. Once you do that, you'll know how to proceed.

Your best answer might be that it's best NOT to tell them.

Give them information. Don't talk to them about it. Find information (a univesity level "Drugs and Behavior" course might be helpful) that shows the interactions of the drug. After they read it, then you could discuss it.

If you approach it like an adult, they're more likely to treat you like an adult.

Answer 6

Dont kid yourself, they know already, so face it like a man and get ready for the consequences, which are: Cant get a job on railroad, or as a policeman, or in medical field, you name it, look forward to moving burgers at Mcdonalds or carrying out the trash. You really love it, well enjoy it if thats what you call it for your misery days are coming soon, not to mention a probable stent in jail---I am, being scarcastic I know but I really want you to wake up and change your life. Dont throw it away.

Answer 7

Kid you are real cconfused. You are angry and hated your parent and yet you are such a coward and wimp that you suppressed it and can't admit it so you must find "weed" as a substitute to ease your pain. Why can't you just be honest and tell them so, "Mum or Dad I hate you for your hyprocrisy and failure as a parent and good example to me, I have taken "weed" and it's give me a good feeling to hide myself from facing the pains you guys are causing me!

Do you have the guts to do that and yet iwthout anger and forgive them for what they have done to you ?

If you can - You will not only be free, You may shock your parent so much that they may change and your get a new parent as a bonus ! If not , you still walk away a winner with a new found character which was not there a moment ago!

Answer 8

I am in my 50s and have smoked weed since I was your age. My parents are both dead...one of cigarettes, one of alcohol. Both of them went to their graves never knowing I smoke. Despite their own faults (which they could never see as being detrimental), I knew they would not be at all tolerant of me smoking weed. Sometimes it's better not knowing. Be safe.

Answer 9

Walk Into The Room Smoking A Joint.........I Think They'll Get The Picture

Answer 10
