Question by Josh D: Is my dad a hypocrit for smoking cigarettes every day and I will get in trouble if he found out I smoke pot?
Okay, so I am almost 16 and I smoke weed whenever it’s around just as a social thing. I have been smoking weed for over a year and I have researched everything about it so I know how it definatley isn’t something to freak out about like most parents do ( go to google video and type in ” the buisness behind getting high” and watch that documentary because it explains how harmless marijuana is). I have showed my dad this video and I feel like it goes in one ear and out the other. My dad smokes cigerettes every day and he even tells me not to smoke weed with a cigerette in his mouth. do you think he is being a hypocrit for smoking something 50X worse than weed and still threatoning me that if I smoke weed I won’t see the light of day? One thing that bothers me is that I could have a beer at a party and my parents won’t mind but if they found out I smoked a bowl it’s like the end of the world and I loose all trust. Also, I have been in trouble for weed before and both my parents opened up to me and told me that they smoked pot as teens. My dad thinks A lot of dumb stuff about weed like ” you can smoke weed and overdose ” or ” if your at a party and cop thinks your high he could take you to jail” and a lot more bull. He’s really ignorant about the subject and I don’t think it’s fair. Thank you for listening and tell me what you think.  Read more... (593 words, estimated 2:22 mins reading time)
