Smoking a joint with your old man

[Burton Baton]

This isn't opiate-related, but anyone done it? I have, and it's kind of weird, but a good bonding experience. I never even knew he smoked until I turned 18, at which point I heard it from some of my brother's friends. When I was 21 and home from college, he walked in on me smoking and I asked him if he wanted a hit. He shut the door and took one. Now we smoke together on occasion, always randomly. I feel it's strengthened the bond between me and my dad.

If he knew about the other shit I do he'd probably flip. He's pure alcohol-and-marijuana.

[poonwhalla]

I have done just about every drug outside of acid with my old man. So yeah its been pretty interesting. My pop was the first to give me really good silver haze and some of the purest coke kinda disfunctional

[Dune]

I always wanted to do this, but he quit smoking soon after I started borrowing his stash. Coincidence??? I think he thought he was a bad influence.

[tasteuvheaven]

My father has always tried being the "co0l" father. When growing up me and my friends would always drink at my house or smoke a b out back because he would rather us be there with him then running the streets. I hope I can be that open with my children. My father drew the line when need be, but he did keep me out of trouble, and kinda unexposed to certain things like h because I didn't run the streets or feel the need to party elsewhere.

At 17 my mom was sick of me fucking up and pulled me out of school to go and live and work with my stepfather. I had just finished putting my things away at his place when he asked me if I brought any weed. He would buy beer for me and I would get him reefer because I had a better connect. He was there the first time I ate mushrooms. As long as I showed up for work and did my job he was cool with whatever.

[scikid]

I've never done drugs with my parents, but they were cooler with herb then usual. They were both old deadheads so they have done all sorts of shit. They just played it straight after awhile (they partied alot more when I was younger). Although they do both love to drink, not out of control but they like there beers or wine at the end of the day. I've been drunk with them plenty of times.

Anyways I'm really grateful I have such good parents. They are very understanding and believe me... my little sisters and I have pushed the limits plenty of times.

[Diluted]

Growing up in a very affluent neighborhood and social group I was surprised to learn my mother habitually smoked marijuana. Often, when people would come to my house when I was younger (Local school teachers, people on the school board.. you know.. big fish for a small pond) they all smoked pot with my mom.

You know what? To this day, even after all the rehabs and what not -- my mom and I still don't smoke together.

It's "hush hush" --

But now I roll this joint in honor of my father 'Dack' (Daddy Jack) Never called him dad. Only called him 'Dack.' (Since I'm Jack the 3rd) Died at 46 from cancer.

I'm going to take on the tobacco companies first hand.

I hate cigarettes and belong to quitnet.org (NOPE = NOT ONE PUFF EVER)

It's been nearly 80 days since I had a cigarette.


I've smoked with lots of my moms friends though. (Pot)

Gotta stay healthy! Don't wanna die!

My mom would always tell me: "What the fuck is wrong with you? a 12-pack and a few joints aren't enough on a friday night -- you gotta do pills?"

Ha, here's a quick story -- my parents have lots of paintings and stuff from John Lennon and the beatles. There's this one -- it's "Day Tripper" -- the lyrics hand written by Lennon and signed with little like, personal notes and scribbles on the side. Someone offered me 10 methadone wafers for it and I ALMOST said yes.

I did however - steal a Friz Freleng painting of the Loony Tunes (It was a picture of all the loony tunes, the old guys (bugs and the group) and their all looking at the ground in mourning and the spot light in on an empty microphone) It was a 1/1 by Freleng in honor of Mel Blanc dying (voice of all of them) They paid a shit load for that. I'm sure I was high for like, a day. *sad face*

I miss my Dad. :(

[clinton]

my teens were spent living in a meth lab..the high school years sucked because of this.
ive watched my dad get loaded on meth and then smoke a joint many times..
ive also smoked weed with him on many occasions...
hes off meth now but still occasionaly tokes, i havent toked in years...

[nick]

Sadly not,but I live in hope.

[frankie]

my old man was a nasty violent drunk who has been dead for twenty two years, i think growing up around all that alcohol influenced my curiosity into the dangers of the world i had my stint with drinking but found that opiates kill the pain. Anyway, if i want good smoke i just knock on my aunt and uncles door for smoke and sometimes the three of us would just sit around and get high, my aunt has a great connection with a rasta so i find i am knocking on her door alot lately...

[handsome rob]

My father is an aging hippie and has smoked weed since I can remember, he tried to keep it a secret but I first found his stash when I was in 5th grade. I actually got suspended in 8th grade for trying to be cool and selling dime bags of his shwag. It wasn't until I was in college that we finally smoked together. Ahh, fond memories. When I was old enough for it not to be a big deal I used to leave some nugs in his pipe so he could have some of the great pot that this generation smokes.

[buc]

Never smoked with my dad but smoked it around him all the time. Both my parents were very lax when it came to weed. By the time I started smoking in the mid-70's they had already raised a couple of my pot smoking sisters through the 60's. They thought smoking pot was kinda silly and never did understand why other parents made such a big fuss about it. I felt the same way as my kids grew up. Neither smoke pot.......But they know I really don't care one way or the other. My son started on cigs when he was about sixteen.......other than to tell he he's crazy for smoking them I don't harp on it.

[Raz]

My dad drew the line when i suggested bringin a couple a chica;s over and havin a bunk up in da same room....

He said son "i dont wanna put ya to shame and show ya how its done".....He looked a lot like elvis, straight up...
But when i puffed him up he just said "aint as strong as mine"....And he was smokin them fuckin capstan full strength cigs.....
Suffice to say he died of lung problems...Bt i'm glad we also made peace b4 he passed and i gave him a good send off...

His bro's dat i hadnt seen for 27yrs thought it was gonna be some kinda freak show(his funeral), so i'm glad them fuckers eat their fuckin "fears".....No freak show, just a dignified send off...And i wasnt high and didnt partake in one drop a booze....I sent him off sober....

I think its a great way for a parent to bond with their (adult) child.

a little off topic but anyone else have old heads tell you that weed back in the day was not as good as it usually is today? of course hash was way easier to come by back then...

I'm 46..........The imported weed that flooded the market in the 70's was every bit as potent if not more so than the domestic strains we see today. Columbian Gold,Panama Red,Acopolco Gold were all very good. Thai Stick was incrediblly strong...........some of the Thai along with much of the hash was opiumated. Honey and hash oil was common and super strong. The shit back in the day was awsome.

[Nonphixion]

No way my Dad doesnt like it & my Mom is cool with it but, I was just kinda straight up with them and still am... (When they found out & I told them was doing H), Off to rehab and have just been honest with them since about pot

[Saint]

My parents have smoked pot when they were younger but that's nothing new here (in Amsterdam). I saw my mother smoke a reefer once at a party at our house. But it wasn't something they were into, neither am I.. I don't care for smoking at all, except when it comes to cigs.

[SeVeN]

I never got around to having enough balls!. My dad died when I was 17, and any smoking I did before then was rare and hidden. One thing I thought about though that hits me funny is when I was about 14-15 my dad said "Do you smoke pot....YET". I of course at the time was like Oh No (I didnt) and I only later thought about as I have a good memory and it cracked me up.

[OxiContinKing]

My dad told me he wouldnt smoke with me until I graduated high school.

That all changed one night he came in drunk and him and my step mother got into an argument, and he came over to my buddy's house (his parents let us smoke in his room) looking for me and ended up in the rotation.

The next night I come home from being out, and I walk into my parents room and sit down while they were smoking, and my step mother was flippin out, and my dad was like chill bitch, its cool...

Thank god my dad kept shit straight...children first...always...he wasnt like some of those parents I hear about/seen...when they remarry, the new signifigant other takes over and rules thier lives...pffft...I'm his blood...watch it...know your role...

I disagree. I grew up smoking everything in the 70's, lots of thai stick, good lumbo, spent lots of time in Maui and southern Mexico. Today's strains are more potent, imho. NOT, I repeat NOT, more enjoyable though....Strength of THC content does not necessarily make for a better experience.
just my opinion, though...

[Paregoric Kid]

I would love to see some of those old strains like acapulco gold, panama red, etc crossed with todays super strains. I know there are seeds out there in attics all over the country.

I havnt heard columbian refered to as lumbo in forever!!! Those were the days..........thanks for the reply and the great memory.

[OrangeLude]

You guys are bringing back memories ...just the mention of Thai Stick...golden buds wrapped around a skewar with a fine hemp thread...I digress...

Never smoked with my Dad. I smoke weed with my child though. Started after she graduated HS, went to college. I get better herb than she does these days and am happy to give her a sac when we see each other. She's the kid of 2 peeps who met in 12 step, had about 3 minutes clean and made a baby.

She has heard me speak at meetings and seen me try to put my life pieces together, sign into treatments, etc on more than one occasion. She knows when I'm functioning and when I'm losing it. I have helped her to be there for her friends on occasion. I've been there for her and I've missed on occasion.

My kid smokes joints/bubbles with her old man. ;)

[OxiContinKing]

weed is more potent now than it was in the past...

thats a fact folks...

not to say there wasnt some bomb ass shit back then...

[Narkotikon]

I've never done pot or any drug with my family. I wouldn't want to. I think it would be odd, kind of like how therapists used to give disgruntled couples E and then have therapy sessions. I just think way too many things that I wouldn't want to talk about, or aren't ready to talk about, would be said. I think it would be traumatic / embarrassing.

Plus, I like to use alone. I wouldn't mind using certain things with small groups of really close friends, but for the most part I prefer to medicate myself alone.

Drug use in my family is "my" special thing. I don't want to share it with my family.

[OrangeLude]

^^agreed.the weed today is stronger more intense more refined & lovely(so I hear ;) back in the day there were some very nice strains through the years. thingy's like Hash & HashOil seemed more available.

[Badly Drawn Girl]

I introduced my 73 year old mother to it. She has a hard time eating anything, no appetite, and I thought well this could work. I don't particularly like weed myself but I could see its benefit. She had a helluva time. It was like... well teaching a 73 year old who has never inhaled anything to smoke a joint... ha. She did end up eating, and sleeping better than she had in ages. But when the joint was finished, she never expressed any desire to do it again. She said it made her paranoid, and living here with my kids she was worried they would smell something.

[Raz]

On topic i let my kid have some puff cakes at christmas time......She gets the giggles and likes it....But has no desire to smoke, thinks its a nasty habit....

But the puff cake thing is her little treat wiv mum and dad.....If i can trick ma plants into keep on buddin, we gonna have a few more giggles this summer....:D

[SHELLEY]

i've been telling my mom for years that we need to smoke a joint together
we are so different her and me its ridicuous, and we try SOOOO hard to get along
there are just certain topics we don't talk about because we *know* we won't see eye to eye
but i think for two people who, while we love each other a lot,
are basically from two different planets (just proves we aren't slaves to our upbringing)
we get along pretty damn well, as i have been living at home with the baby for several months
but i've told her many times, that if she'd let me roll us a joint and smoke together
i'd see her as less of an unapproachable "mom" and more of a friend (hey, we're both adults now)
and she'd see that it's not so bad, and maybe see me
as less of a "criminal drug user" for smoking the ganj

a couple weeks ago she thought my little bro was smoking weed (he's 20 and living near college)
my moms just about shit a brick outhouse-
"he's gonna ruin his life! i'm going to get a phone call from the police! he'll never go to law school!"
but they know i smoke weed and just ignore it
i think they're glad i smoke-
it keeps me level (not manic-schizo) better than any psych drugs could
plus its certainly an improvement from how i was back in 07-early 08 :rolleyes:

my folks hold my bro to a higher standard than they hold me, this pisses him off majorly
i've told him it's because he continues to live up to a higher standard while i say fuggit
i hold him to a MUCH higher standard than i hold myself, if that makes me a hypocrite so be it

smoking with my brother on the other hand....
i'd been wanting to do that since he started high school- finally!! :D


my teens were spent living in a meth lab...

wow, i'm not alone in this of all things :o

Well, I've smoked cigs with my Dad before (back in the 1990s) but that's about it. He even said he didn't care if I smoked pot as long as I didn't get into other drugs. Obviously I let 'em down BUT he fucked around with drugs, sans opiates, a lot in his 20s and early 30s so... He knows I'm clean now and he's proud.

I remember Brony started a thread about "what do you say to the youngens about drugs" and it's still a very slippery slope for me to even think about. I mean, if my kids discover pot (as long as it's not at like 12) I guess I'd be a huge hypocrite for coming down on them. My deal would most likely be, "fine, if you're going to smoke some weed, I can tell you not to, but if you're anything like your old man you'll probably do it anyway--however, if I find out you're messing with pills and powders I will reserve the right to kick your ass!"

When they're old enough I might have to tell 'em the truth--even though it will most likely be humiliating for me!

Ah well, I digress. I've smoked with other people's parents, does that sorta count? :)

[dieselbaby]

Thank god my dad kept shit straight...children first...always...he wasnt like some of those parents I hear about/seen...when they remarry, the new signifigant other takes over and rules thier lives...pffft...I'm his blood...watch it...know your role...

Welcome to my life :rolleyes:

Fuck you, dad. Enjoy your new family you fucking asshole.

[OxiContinKing]

yeah i feel you my opio-bro - I am dealing with that shit from my mom now.

go figure.

[barbiegal]

yep Diesel me too. BOTH my lame-ass parents. They divorced when I was 15 and my sis 12. Dad married a bitch who treated us like shit while he doted on her 3 sons. My nuts mother married an old man 15 years older than her that said "yeah,you can live here,but not your daughters" and she was like okey-dokey. It was fine with both of them that they married people who treated their daughters like shit. It amazes me. The old goat finally croaked 2 years ago. Well,paybacks a bitch mom!!!!

[Narkotikon]

This is all kind of depressing. I'm not sure what I'd want though: no parents or crazy-ass parents. I don't think either is a win-win situation, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Remember how stoney Columbian Gold was.........It was something wasnt it.

[pinn3d]

I used to smoke with my pop, back in high school----- when I was 17-18------ but these days I don't smoke weed with someone unless we are about to have sex...... which pretty much means I smoke alone....... I would smoke with one of my good buddies that I haven't hung out with in a while, but I wouldn't wanna be stoned with my dad anymore...........Originally he suggested it as a way for us to hang out, once i told him I liked smoking weed.... and it was pretty cool--- usually we'd get stoned and go night-fishing in the gulf......

My dad also grew a few plants before I really started getting into growing, and I remember getting high and sitting in the room with those plants back when I was 17---- pretty cool stuff------ first time I had seen real pot plants.....

Sometimes my dad will give me some opiates, which he says are the 'best recreational drug'.... little does he know I am on daily maintenance right now.....but thats a whole nother discussion.....

[Brony]

Never smoked pot (or done any drugs) with parents.

They firmly believe that all drugs are pure evil and that doing drugs in any quantity will ABSOLUTELY ruin your life.

Needless to say, any discussions we have about drugs get heated really quick.

[JunkBombJamie]

Yeah I smoke with my dad, he's an old hippy and really likes his weed smoke. He is 59 though and weed gets him so fucked up it is really funny to see. I mean the weed is really nice kind nugs so that is part of it, but he goes from being normal and talkative to just straight passed out on the couch beggin for some m&m's. Its almost like he's done a big shot of H. Then about 30 minutes later he'll get up and start acting like a 15 year old whose smokin for the first time, all giggly n shit. Then 30 minutes after that he'll start harassin me or my brother to smoke again. Its just funny cuz normally he is like the everyday yuppie type business guy, all business all the time. Its kinda odd when I go to visit him n I dont have any weed, he will get genuinely disappointed in me if I didnt bring any weed for him to smoke. He gets the same exact way as he does when he talks to me about how I didnt finish college, haha its fucked up.

And as far as remarrying and all that, he totally lets his new wife run his life and control his relationship with the rest of his family. And she hates kids, shes never had them and cant stand my brother and I. She's always yellin about how his whole family is stupid ( including his brothers and sisters ). A few times when Ive been there for dinner she starts talking about his will, and how he needs to make sure she gets her fair share wtf !
Everyone in the family has tried to be nice with her for his sake, but she is just the ultimate bitch. So we all get her mad on purpose by smoking with my dad, because she cannot stand it, I mean it just drives her crazy. And last time I was there I replaced her klonopins with some generic aspirin and some old vicodin she had with ibuprofen. I got about 20 of each was kinda nice, but the vikes are kinda weak cuz of my tolerance. Normally, I would never take someones meds, but she is just pure evil in human form. Even my dead grandfather called her darthvader haha, we all used to love that. Oh well, sorry for ramblin on...

[Narkotikon]

And last time I was there I replaced her klonopins with some generic aspirin and some old vicodin she had with ibuprofen. I got about 20 of each was kinda nice, but the vikes are kinda weak cuz of my tolerance.

Is she tolerant to benzos? I mean, is she physically dependent on them? Will she go into w/d because you took all of her K-pins? I hope not. That can be fatal. I don't really have a problem with you taking some of them, because she does sound like a bitch (the will thing is what got to me...that's just tactless and screams gold-digging bitch). I can justify that exact same thing in my mind with pricks.

My recent use of Xanax was from exactly the same situation, but I never took all of them. I mean, I didn't like the person at all, but I also didn't want them to suffer benzo w/d and die. Well, maybe, but let's say I didn't want to be caught and be known as the cause of it. As far as I know, they never knew I took any of their Xanax. I mean, it wasn't much. A few pills here and there. The most was 12 pills over a course of five days.

It sounds like she gets the round 2mg K-pins if you replaced them with generic aspirin. I want to say the .5's are yellow and I guess the 1mg ones could be white too. I don't remember exactly. I know the 2mg ones are white and round, although will she notice? I mean, they don't exactly look like aspirin all that much.

I hope she doesn't get sick, and that you don't get caught.

[JunkBombJamie]

No she is not tolerant to them, like the vicodins they are pretty old. She has taken ten of them in the past 3 months. And they are the yellow .5mgs

early one morning swim wakes up and makes a short jaunt up stairs to use the bathroom. only to find the kitchen and living room reeking like reefer. puzzled swim quickly recollects the previous evenings shenanigans and realizes that swim wasn't even home, so why does the house smell like weed? well as swim walks to the bathroom swim notices that smoke is rising up from his fathers room ( which is adjacent to the bathroom) well it didn't take swim long to realize that it was his father cheebing. so swim walks up to his fathers door and pounds on it like he was the five-0. needless do say swims father opens the door and looks sort of worried that he's been uncovered. swim lackadaisically walks into his fathers room proceeds to pick up the joint he was about to smoke and sparked it up but lo and be hold IT WAS SHITTY WEED!!! swim was so pissed at this point that his own father didn't smoke anything nearly as good as the shit swim smokes. poor old man swim thinks to himself, having to smoke these stems and beans. swim caches the joint in the ash tray( it wasnt fineshed but swim couldn't let him smoke that) swim walks back down to his room grabs the zip of headband sour D that he had for his personal and weighs out a quad. walks back up stairs and throws the bag on swims fathers desk and told him " smoke this and if you ever need anything don't be afraid to ask"

swim finally gets to take his piss and as hes walking back out his old man has a jay already rolled and says lets get high and go get some breakfast. this is one piss swim will never forget :p

Plus twenty---I would get the fear and run, run, run away....

I think he should smoke it on his own but I don't wanna put on Rubber Soul with him. It should be made law that he smoke A LOT of it so he will chill the fuck out.
