So quick background before I get to my question, before that I commend all of you who read all of this as it may be long. (I will try to keep it short though). So I'm 21 years old. I moved out of my parents house when I was 18. I've been toking regularly since then. I was doing well on my own getting life done all sorts of stuff. I was in school. I had a steady job. I was able to sustain myself and smoke my herb comfortably. Unfortunately some stuff came up recently that has caused me to loose my job, my place, and all of my money. It is not Cannabis related but it did cause me to have to move back in with my parents. My dad is a Pastor and my mom also works for the church. They are highly against the use of pot and I promised myself I would never bring it into their house or ever be high around them for that fact. Tonight as I was helping my mother clean the kitchen the discussion of pot came up. She asked me if I still smoke and I said yes. She then got furious and demanded I tell her if I had anything in the house. My response, "No mom. I'm not a fiend." This then led to the talk of, "Timmy you are going to get arrested and you are going to give your mother a heart attack." It's been a week since I last toked and I was about 16 hours away. It's almost as if my parents see me as a criminal. All I wanted to do was grab them by the shoulders and shake the common sense into them. I am a little fish. I am not out to make millions. I am not out to cause problems. I'm just a dude that loves my herb.
Which brings me to my question. How do I get them to understand that what I do on my own time is not and should not be considered criminal?
I have been slowly trying to ease them into the idea of me toking for about a year now and it's getting to the point I just want to stand on top of a mountain and shout to them, "I love smoking herb! I love getting fucking high!! And I am going to continue to do it and most likely won't end up in jail!! Because I am not involved with the cartel!!! haha, but seriously how do I deal with the predicament? It's really starting to erk me. And how do I get them to understand that smoking herb is not my ticket into hell. It's like they have this preconceived judgement that because I toke I'm definitely out of the opportunity to heaven. Whether you believe in heaven or not this is a big deal for me because it is a big deal for my parents. Anyways. All help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
