[nooby1994]

ok marijuana helps me so much....i am growing in my parents house, my mum is fine with it she knows how much it helps me, it is my first grow btw 3 weeks in, my dad who is old fashioned found it...wants it out the house but is waiting until i confront him about it as my mum told me...my mum says i should write him a letter or talk face to face with him about the truth, which it really has saved me, and im not just saying that....i have aspergers and autism, i have a severe speech impediment a stutter, used to have depression and anxiety and panic attacks, the past few years marijuana has saved me, of course my dad found a little bag of a few joints worth of weed in my room before but that was ok because i promised it wouldnt be in his house again..but the fact is it helps me so much, my stutter/stammer is like almost practically gone compared to when i first started smoking when i was 16, when i stuttered so bad, that i would bang my foot on the ground and cry in frustration...i know it sounds pathetic but it truly was that bad i couldnt function in any social situation, marijuana has given me friends, a life, motivation, a reason to live for, when i was 16 i almost considered commiting suicide one time....i need to tell my dad with my mums backing why he should let me finish this grow of a miracle cure...just to let you know i dont smoke to get high i smoke for the health benefits....my mum has advised writing a well thought letter or speech to him before he throws it out....suggestions are needed please...if he lets me i will keep you posted on whats the story with my and my dad please, this is a strongly subject i am passionate about as marijuana is my only cure, even my mum says it has banished my stutter almost completely and autism signs gone...seriously even my optician said somehow my sight has gotten miles better compared to a few years ago! please help me! suggestions, arguments needed! what should i write and tell him?!

seriously guys i dont have many friends that can help me in this situation...what i will say to him will change my life...

Show him the evidence of how it helps.

Dont smoke and let the problems return, show him. Smoke a phatty and let him watch that shit work like medicine!

If you are writing him a letter, write the entire thing, leave it for at least an hour. Re-read it and edit it. Repeat until you like it.

Having trouble with the letter? Make points you want to hit in the letter, say 5 points, they can be just single words. When writing the letter, include all these points.

just do what i did m8, and google both of your illness'es and mmj, and print out the articles.. you can either hand them to your father like that, or make your own report, quoting the sources that you find online..
it will take some work on your part, but by the sounds of the few things i just read searching for you, sounds like it will be very worth that effort when you get your old man to change his mind..
goodluck, and remember to remain calm, and help dispell all of the old bullshit rumors that say marijuana is addictive, it does this or it does that, just get some facts to back up the truth..
it sounds like your mom is on your side, it could be much worse honestly...

+rep for this, straight up great info.

Remaining calm when dealing with family so so very important.

thanks racerboy, yeah thankfully she is, she used to smoke back in the 80s and she knows the facts, the worse thing is my dad is a total hypocrite and drinks every bloody night, has had 2 heart attacks for being obese too....i love him n all but right now there is a soure to cure all my problems, and that total hypocrite is stopping it....looks like im gonna stay up all night printing articles, writing up an essay on me . him and marijuana.....

 

[Ledhed]

Do what everyone else has said, then go rent "The Union" and sit and watch it with him.


You can also show him the link at the bottom of my posts.

i wouldn't go and point out any of his downfall's as this sounds like it would be counter productive to your cause.. simply concentrate on your illnesses and how mmj can help you out..
if you were to go on the offensive and bring up his drinking and how it's killing him, you'd probably either piss him off right off the bat, or have him shut down to any of the good info that you'd have for mmj... either way you'd end up losing imo..

but yah, if there's no rush, do your homework, and do it well.. maybe even practice on your mom.. she's the one who will more then likely know your dad the best and may be able to point you in the right direction, or tell you how's she has won some aurguments with your dad in the past, lol.. use her to your advantage the best you can..
i've never seen that movie dude recommended, but it sounds like a good idea... there are tons of good pot documentaries out today.. even msbc has a very good one.. rent a few of them, make it a night of education for the entire family..

Dude, I second renting "The Union". I sat my parents down and made them watch it and it completely opened their eyes. IMHO, face to face talks work best. Atleast for me. There is something about seeing the desperity and sincerity in someones eyes that a letter just can't provide. Other than that, everyone has given some good advice. Just tell him what it does for you and how it helps you. Be honest with him and remain calm. Seriously thoough. Get "The Union". It will help you so much in convincing your pops.

i forgot to mention, when you're down with your lil report, sit down and read it to him over just handing it to him and having him read it on his own.. i agree, much more personal, and probably will get better results doing so..

 

[nanookofeclectic]

This is kinda a dirty trick, but it may help you. Cry. It sounds like a pathetic idea, but if you're spilling your heart out telling him how much it has improved your quality of life, breaking into tears may just persuade him that much more.

 

[DrFever]

i say roll a joint in front of him and say dad time for you to man up and smoke a joint hahahaha imagine how much better you sex life would be rather then the milk man coming over 3 times a week and doing mom

I don't know how old your parents are . But I have been married 16 years and i am only 34 . That said my wife picks her battles very carefully . That said, in the end women have the one thing all men can't go without . Your mom holds the cards . keep the spade in your back pocket and play it last if you have to . Make sure mom has your back ,do the report stand make your points . Good luck . Having MJ in ones house is a completely different animal thing growing it . asking him to allow you to use it may be completely different . might want to point out that the only true way to know what your getting is safe is to grow it yourself . Some of these nutes you reed about guys using on here has arsenic in it . prolly safer not to be smoking arsenic . http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=arenic%20in%20mirical%20gro&source=web&cd=3&sqi=2&ved=0CDUQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ehow.com%2Fabout_6712510_effect-miracle_gro-plants.html&ei=iAC7Tty8O6v-iQK3h6msDA&usg=AFQjCNGsy-wTSBfdn55POrMcLHgPNd0CdA

[nanookofeclectic]

Ooh.... Is it just one plant?
I by no means am an expert on lighting. Hell, mine ar eunder a 4ft floro shop light. I always tell people you want it to look like daylight on the leaves, yah know? Basically you want to try to replicate the plants natural environment, or atleast that's what I strive for. The best way for me to tell is to take a plant outside, if you are able, in the middle of the day. Pay attention to the amount of the light on the leaves. That is what you want to try to recreate. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
