WHAT DID YOUR PARENTS SAY WHEN THEY FOUND OUT YOU TOKes

I entered community college in 1979 and smoked for the first time. For the first half of the eighties, I went to school on and off, smoked on and off, and never got caught. Eventually I moved out. I did live with my dad again briefly but I didn't smoke at the time. He died in just over 10 years ago. So, perhaps he suspected but my parents never knew.

In 1980 or 81, I borrowed my dad's van to roadie my friends' band to NYC - they were playing at Folk City in the Village. He knew what I needed it for. The next day, all was good except for a pipe he found inside. "Not mine," I said. "Sorry. Just toss it." It really wasn't mine, but that excuse almost never works - yet was perfectly valid considering the night before.

When I was in college, 18 was the legal drinking age and even went to a partying school for a bit, so it was an easy alternative that my parent's knew about. When I moved me into a dorm with my dorm fridge, they actually bought me a case of beer to go with it. I don't do cases any more - that was a long, long time ago.
 
When I was 17 or so I always kept a little baggie in the ash tray compartment in my truck (before I figured out how to properly carry). Was driving my mom to the store and hit a speed bump, ash tray popped open and she saw my bud in all it's glory. All she said was, "I hope you are smart with that."

I never got in trouble and always maintained an A average in school - they had no reason to be upset that I smoked. My younger brother failed more classes than I can count and when they found his pot, all hell broke loose.

...I think I was around 16-17. They didn't find out, they just knew. Neither of them smoked weed, but they let us enjoy our lives a little. It was 3:45 am, I walked in, forgot about the squeak in the floor as I made my way to my room. "*my name*, could you come here for a minute?"

...I was fresh from hot-boxing for what seemed like 3 hours. We put a car cover over my buddy's car in the driveway at his parents place (:lol:). At any rate, my mother asks the question "so, what kind of drugs have you tried?" I said "weed, hash, oil...that's it." She started to say something else as I looked (only) in any direction that she wasn't in, cannot remember what it was she said :)

My parents never said anything, because I don't smoke. I'm on this forum because I have no friends. Everything I have said up to this point has been fabricated.

...I'd be your friend if you smoked weed :lol:

I'm just kidding! I use the marihuana. I also grow the marihuana. I use what I grow. I think I'd like to make a complete vegetable garden. That would be more funner than using the marihuana. Let's be friends.

My mom snooped my myspace when I was like 12 lol and her response was 'your going to tell your father yourself' damn was I shitting myself I ran to my bed and tried to sleep before he got home. Turns out she didnt say anything nor did I. They even found plants in my closet and let me keep growing them when I was in 8th grade. After getting caught about 3 or 4 times from middle school to early high school they finally gave up and accepted it. Which sometimes i'm greatful for...others i'm not.

My gran had a few with me and would then pretend afterwards that she didn't know what it was! I've got a pic of her with a huge joint, I remember taking it to wind up my mum!! My Gran got me on the whiskey anyway ....Plus she always said 'a little of what you fancy does you good'. Aged 91!!

Now as a parent how would you react if your child told you they are or have used it?

I'd be bummed.. even my 16 dd is a bit older then I was my 1st time using it.. neither of my kids have cared to even smell the stuff..

you need to stop that, once at burger king. when i was 22 or so. if i started in high school i would have taken such advantage of everything. God gave me a lovly plant and since then ive made smart choices because ive learned wisdom,patients, and calmness.

after a certain point, they just realized, i always had a job and all.. smoking just wasnt the demon my grandma thought.. but when i told my dad, he said stick with herb, get a job/career and do it right for a little before i start fucking up my life with other drugs so i can see what i lost.. this was actually really good advice

When my parents found out they said something along the lines of "you holding"? Then I said "this isn't the 70's anymore, we don't say that".
