My parents smoke pot and I've always known that but I have been taught in school that POT IS BAD. I want them to stop but I'm afraid to tell them. Is it really that bad?

bigpassion27576 answered Thursday May 13 2004, 7:57 pm: well what you could do is talk to your parents let them know how you feel about the pot subject,and let them know that you are uncomfartable with them smoking it for so long,letting them know is one way they may look into what they r doing ,if you dont talk to them they will think what they r doing is ok with you it is really refreshing to see someone so young talking with so much sence your parents should be proud of you for your decisions to stay drug free good for you...

Ivygirl2098 answered Wednesday April 7 2004, 2:19 pm: no it isnt just relax and dont think about it. I bet if your parents didnt smoke it they couldnt relax and me stressed. example>if you parents didnt smoke it they might rip of your head. pot isnt a weed and used as a prescipition to cancer paiceins. and back in the old days they used to make ropes out of it.So its not all that bad.It is really common. say if you went to high shcool at least 45% of the kids that go there are smoking pot or their parents. so just try not to think about it.

lilattitude2004 answered Wednesday March 24 2004, 4:28 pm: well i doupt that your parents will listen but just let them do what they want i dont mean that to be rude but you have to let them decide. maybe sit them down and write them a note to tell them how you feel and i hope they come around. show them this e-mail and tell them that you don't want them to dye or nothing. hope i could help you.
Jess08 answered Sunday March 21 2004, 2:35 pm: Just ask your parents what they are smoking. Then ask them to please stop what if my teaacher comes over and your smoking pot she would call the cops and then they would get BUSTED. Then you wont have to worry about that anymore.

jbdreamer answered Thursday March 18 2004, 2:09 pm: Your parents should be setting a good example for you. By them smoking pot, they are telling you it is ok. Tell your parents that you are worried about their behavior and they are setting a poor example for their daughter. You want to be able to look up to them, and have them around for the next fifty years. Not dead from lung cancer. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]

sp4rklingr4in answered Wednesday March 17 2004, 10:23 pm: Unless a doctor has actually perscribed marijuana for medical purposes, which does not sound like the case, then it is bad. They r actually rotting their brain out, and with enuff time, half their brain may no longer work, and they may not be able to remember somethin like ur first steps as a child. Approach them, and tell them exactly how u feel. If wat they are doing is scaring u, make sure they noe that. Hopefully, their love for their child can overcome their addiction to marijuana. Make sure u do it as soon as u can, cause it may take a few days for u to mentally prepare urself, but it only takes a few seconds for them to crash their car cause they were stoned, and die.
AskSpanky answered Wednesday March 17 2004, 5:40 pm: A guy came to our school with NARCONON, getting people to stop narcotics. I think he was addicted to pot or something...I thought you could get addicted to anything.
advicebaby7 answered Wednesday March 17 2004, 3:20 pm: I think you should tell them and say that it really worrys you and you really love them and you would feel terrible if anything happened to them and u really want them to stop for u Good Luck [ advicebaby7's advice column | Ask advicebaby7 A Question ]
evilgogeta answered Wednesday March 17 2004, 9:42 am: I hear this all the time. Weed isn't as bad as all these people make it out to be. If you don't want to do it then fair enough, that's your choice. Don't start trying to control other people. You can tell them your feelings if you really must but don't expect them to stop just because you want them to. Look on the bright side, at least it's not crack.
Oh and Logic-Man, they would't need rehab. Weed isn't physically addictive. It's like chocolate, you want more but if you don't get any then it's not the end of the world. [ evilgogeta's advice column | Ask evilgogeta A Question ]
Siren_Cytherea answered Tuesday March 16 2004, 10:08 pm: Yes, pot is really that bad. The cancer-causing ingredients in one joint are equal to 22 cigarettes. I suggest you sit them down and calmly explain to them that you love them and smoking pot is hurting them. If they're at all logical, they'd understand the 1 joint = 22 cigs, so try that piece of info on them. Good luck. =)

Logic-Man answered Tuesday March 16 2004, 6:28 pm: Marijuana is bad, granted, quite bad indeed, but people seem to have misconceptions about how bad. I won't get into it now, it will destroy your life (not in the sense some people think of it), and just talking to your parents is not necessarily going to work. They'll need rehab and counselling etc., depending how addicted they are. Start by talking with them, but they could be more dependant on marijuana than that.
