i got caught with weed


Question Posted Friday March 6 2009, 10:00 pm

i got high with a few friends recently, and got caught. my parents never thought id be this bad of a screwup, so they dont really know how to handle it. they just said im grounded until they decide otherwise. i can use my phone and my computer, but i cant see anyone.

they said they were going to start drug testing me to make sure im not smoking anymore.

but i dont want to stop smoking weed! i know thats kind of stupid, but oh well.

is there any loophole to the test? is there something i can do to make sure i get a positive on the test, besides not smoking at all? any tricks? thanks.

also, if i smoke cigarettes or drink, will that show up on the test? again, thanks.

Im going to be bold and speak my mind. Yu may rate me as low as yu wish but this needs to be said. I myself am in recovery from addiction. I started smoking pot at 13 after my dad died. I never believe it when people told me this but yes pot ALWAYS leads to other drugs. It frustrates me now looking back on my past and seeing what our adolescence is coming to. I no not one single person that doesnt drink smoke or do drugs. Yur making a very pore choice. Yur young and should be finding who yu truly are and what yu wish to do with yourself. I was an addict for years and i too never saw anything wrong with it until it was almost to late. You dont want to one day feel the pain yu get when yur body hasnt gotten the drug or the alchohal its begging for. its very painful so painful yu almost cant move but yu do because yu need to find the drug! yur bodys consumed with this addiction yur mind not being able to see how very wrong it is. I know you are most likely reading this thinking she doesnt know what shes talking about im not addicted i just like how the pot feels and how it feels to be drunk. I to liked that feeling which is why it was so addicting but it isnt worth it. I didnt realize my life had completely stopped. all that matterd when i woke in the mornign was how i was going to get my high. I am now 17 years old. I luckaly enough broke the addiction just 2 months before my 18th birthday if not i would most likely end up in jail. Im asking you to make a wise decision for yourself. Help me stop the ripple affect that is going on with our teens. Your clearly to young for this dont like this be your path please i beg of you.

Your in my prayers..

If the test is specific to weed then cigs and alcohol won't show up on it.

Your parents are probably considering home tests.
Nothing you can do will alter the test if it is done
within a day or so of you smoking weed. You can drink gallons and it won't change a thing. No loopholes that work. A positive on the test is something you don't want, by the way. You want it to be negative.

Keep in mind also that a home test can be done at any time. No warning of when it is coming, and no chance to try and trick it even if something did actually work.

::Edit due to feedback::

Ahh, the trite teenaged "stop judging me" line.

People who don't like to be judged are those who feel themselves that there is something wrong with the way they are.

In other words, your defensive "Don't judge me, asshole" response proves that you have a problem with pot. I'm not giving you an honest opinion, I'm "being mean" to you and thus you don't have to listen to anything I say.

Yes, kid, I am judging you. I am judging from your question that you are not very mature. I'm judging from your defensiveness that you both have a problem with pot, and that you know that its a problem.

You know, a lack of motivation isn't uncommon, and it sucks to go against the grain and quit something you consider fun. Thats the problem with kids, and the reason you have parents. Children are not capable of thinking in the long term. You are not capable of making mature decisions based on anything past next month.

You need parents to set limits on behavior because in some cases you are not capable of making the decision you need to.

I know you won't quit weed, but I want you to remember my words down the road.

Remember them when you let your habits get the best of you and wind up having to pull yourself out of some hole you dug for yourself, maybe then you'll recognize the points I'm making here, and start acting a little less like a tall 5 year old.

::/edit::

About 80% of people who imbibe some form of substance have no problems with what they're doing.

You, sadly, are in the other 20%

You are not mature enough to handle a substance habit. Theres a reason parents don't want kids doing things. Kids your age cannot learn to be adults at the same time they're learning to handle a substance addiction.

The answer to your question is no. While there are products created to help there is no guaranteed way to beat a urinalysis, especially if you are still smoking on a regular basis. Theres nothing you can do except stop smoking.

You need to. If you make an adult decision to smoke pot later in life, that will be your decision to make. The truly important thing here is to recognize that you are NOT making adult decisions in regards to this, and so you need to wait until you've grown up enough to handle it.

Its also worth pointing out as an aside, that as much as I didn't respect my parents rules about the house I wish I had. You owe your parents genuine effort towards following their rules while you're under their roof. You have every right to disagree with them, but outright defiance and refusal to be reasonable puts you in the wrong every time.

They are asking you to stop smoking weed because theyre concerned, and because you genuinely do need to stop. You need to grow up a bit and try to see that you SHOULD do what they say in this case, and try to learn a little something rather than just deciding to be a fuckup with zero self control.

It appears that you have an even bigger problem than you realize. What you have said basically tells me two things. First of all, you're addicted to this drug and the high it gives you. That's why you don't have intention of stopping.

You lack the willpower, strength, desire and guts to quit. You can't follow trough and you know it so you keep smoking it. You may have heard that just one toke won't mean anything but look at where you are now. It all adds up and no matter what anyone says it has a lasting effect and destroys brain cells.

We can't nor will we provide tips on dodging a drug test. I'm not sure how these tests work. It doesn't matter as it's yourself and not your parents you are deceiving here. They might not catch you but sooner or later your choices will.

I'm pretty sure drinking and smoking haven't a damn thing to do with the readings but you may want to double check. They are looking for signs of narcotic abuse and not that.

Being grounded and unable to see anyone is a pretty easy punishment when you deserved more. I gather you've been through this routine over and over again that testing is their last resort.

If you're a strong enough person you'll admit you have a problem with the drug, enjoy it too much and don't want to quit and seek their help in doing so. I would cut ties with so-called friends that do it and start over with a clean slate.

If you need to smoke marijuana to live life than you're not really living. You're a slave to it. The best thing that could ever happen to you has whether you see it or not. Your parents figuring you out and helping you is exactly what you need.

I'll tell you something most of the kids you're partying with or smoke dope with are going nowhere or will be stuck later because of their choices earlier. You can break out of that and surpass them and your own imagination. Stop wasting time with this shit--seriously.
