If it has only been a couple of times that you smoked pot, more than likely it is not at the stage where it is a problem. You are probably feeling guilty about it and want to confess. That's entirely up to you if you do or not. However just so you don't create future problems in your life, stop now, and chalk it up to a bad learning experience. If it were me, I wouldn't tell, I just wouldn't do it again. If it were my kids and they learned from the experience and stopped, I wouldn't be mad, and I wouldn't care if I ever knew or not.

Good luck when you want to apply for a great job one day, especially if you hypothetically want to be a police officer and the question comes up if you had done any drugs in your past. Shows that you have poor judgment. You can kiss a lot of good jobs goodbye especially if you're caught with drugs and it's on your record. It may not occur to you now, but in the future when it comes time to be responsible and look for a career; little "harmless" things like this in your past come back to bite you in the ass.

Its not that big an issue. The answers that said that pot is not as addictive as ciggs are correct. It is also far less harmful (in just about every way) than alcohol for example, to take another socially accepted drug. Thats not to say its harmless, it certainly isnt, however its not all that serious.

So, there is no need to talk to anybody. Just stop smoking. There is no physical addiction to pot, and you only smoked a couple fo times, so you shouldnt have all that much trouble. As I see it, you dont have a problem.

Don't tell anyone about your problem.

Many of my friends smoke pot. They say that it's not as addictive or harmful as cigarettes. I don't know if they know what they're talking about, though.

Anyways, just try to stop doing it. We receive so much education about drugs starting in elementary school. So how could anyone ever try drugs when they learn at about age 8 how bad they are?

Drugs can control your life if you don't stop the habit now.

Actually, I hate to do this but I'm disagreeing.

Pot smoking is only really a problem if it's taking a lot of time out of other things. A little pot every once in a while doesn't constitute a problem. Here are some signs of it becoming a problem:

* More frequent use
* Needing more and more to get the same effect
* Spending time thinking about using marijuana
* Spending more money than you have on it
* Missing class or failing to finish assignments because of marijuana
* Making new friends who do it and neglecting old friends who don't
* Finding it's hard to be happy without it


Also, marijuana is not even close to as addictive as alcohol. If used infrequently, it's not addictive at all.

Long story short, I'd say not to tell your parents, because what they don't know won't kill them.

That said, marijuana is illegal in most places, so you shouldn't be doing it if it is. (that was my disclaimer :D)

you realy should talk to someone, pot can be very addictive, and it can ruin lives. you may think that sounds cheesy but its true. First its pot, then cockane, the your shootin up and next thing you know your an addict. im not saying you are an addict now but thats what could happen, i would suggest that you talk to someone you trust
