Parents and brother on weed

---

i know for sure they are. i've seen their stashes, and smelled the smoke from their rooms. i out of my mind with worry. what really worries me is that my parents do it WITH my brother. they are not bad parents. except for this.
i just dont know what to do!

talk to them, and tell them that what they are doing is wrong, and that they are being bad parents. ask them. there isn't much you can do but to step up to the plate, and be an adult in this situation. and no one really asks to be in this situation. you could also try to talk with the trust councelor in school. i got those two suggestions, anyone else with any ideas?

Don't talk to the counselor, it will get you and your bro taken from your parents. Endangering the welfare of a child. I'm a teen, I know how the system works. And trust me, weed is not bad. At all. No one has ever died from it. EVER. As long as they are responsible, don't worry, and don't listen to the lies that DARE spouts. Weed is not bad, neither are shrooms (In moderation.) But keep your ass clear of heroine, coke, crack, speed and meth. Those are ones you should never do, no matter what. Other ones are bad, but weed is fine.

Not everyone will agree with me on this, but I think if it isn't hurting you, and if your brother is old enough to make his own choices, then it's best regarded as not your business.

ummm.... yeah. it is bad. weed is a drug. messes up your judgment, memory problems, and all that.

so i'm just supposed to stand by and watch while my family messes up their lives on drugs?

That's my view, seeing that you are not in a position of any authority over them. If you inform the police or social services the result will probably be that things are made worse, with the family split up; and anything else you might try to do outside the family could result in the authorities being informed.Sometimes doing nothing is the best you can do.

Marijuana itself isn't the problem, it's the fact that most then half of the people who take marijuana move on to a more powerfull drug. Unfortunatly there is no good solution to this problem, hopefully your brothers life wont be destroyed because of the poison your parents are giving him.

How old is your brother? And why do you think that smoking marijuana will mess up the lives of your family?From the sounds of it, your parents have probably been smokers for a while, and you say that they're good parents. What kind of negative effect has it had on their lives?

I don't think there's too much you can do about it, either. You can tell them that you don't like it and it's disrespectful. Or you can get the police and social services involved. However, once you do get them involved, they will watch your house like a hawk on everything. Also, if they feel your parents are deemed unfit, they probably decide to put you in foster care.It's your choice. Do what you feel is right in your heart.

Many may jump your as over this post but Im not one of them.Being a Mary Jane dedated fan myself I dont see it asa big dieal so long as its kept under control.I smoke here and there. If it were not for the illegal factor I wouldnt have a problem with my kids doing it so long as they were older when it has less affect on a developing brain.I belive it to be less harmful than drinking.

hes barely 18. he may be legally old enough to make that kind of choice, but anyone can tell hes not mature enough. Quote:why do you think that smoking marijuana will mess up the lives of your family? the words "the gateway drug" plus the size of the stashes i've seen.i'm not totatlly sure of how long they've been smoking it, so i'm not sure its had much of an effect on them yet. but, by how much they have, and how often i smell the smoke, they're not just smoking it occasionally.i admit, i was overreacting when i started this thread, but i am really worried about this.

Well I not only agree with Ineligible on this, in that anything you do could probably land your family in more trouble than what marijuana use could ever lead them to, but I am actually a full supporter of marijuana use. Saying that its better than alcohol isn't a great excuse, but I'd much prefer people to smoke weed than to drink.

way bigger than that. i've seen a 2ft by 2ft container about half way full.

That sounds like significant dealing rather than just using, and prison if they are caught.

Ya know, you could call Grvtykllr, I'm sure he'd be more than happy to take that weed off of your parents' hands.
