I've been consuming cannabis from about spring this year. my mother has caught me smoking once. she talked to me about how I shouldn't let it control my life. I feel I have been using the plant responsibly. I don't think my dad knows i use. Now, here's the question. I was fumbling around in the basement and happened upon a bud that wasn't mine. I think it was my dad's. What should I do?

What do stones have to do with 'buds'?

Store it in your room so as to avoid confusion in the future, and also to show you're not ashamed of it?

I think if you don't want your mother to suspect you're still using it, you should turn it over, saying you found it in the basement and make it clear it isn't yours. Add in some bullshit about personal responsibility.

Or you could just ask your dad casually, leaving your mom out of it. Chances are if it's his and you're cool about it, something good may come of it.

I know when my dad found hash in my room he didn't freak out and some time later we wound up smoking together and he's bummed weed off me in the past.

I've been thinking about asking him casually, but I don't think any time soon would be good. My grandma, his mom, is in the hospital with namonia.:(

Pneumonia is probably the spelling you're looking for.

Anyway, you should consider it. But wait until when you think it's right.

Listen to your parents until you move out and then when you are supporting yourself smoke all you want. That's what you should do.

Here's the thing, man.

If you leave the nug where you found it and your mom finds it, she's going to assume it's yours and you're going to have a fresh new talk.

Now, there's little chance that your mom bitched you out about the weed and didn't talk to your dad. There's also little chance that he's doing it and she doesn't know, but it is possible. Lets go with that assumption for the moment.

You can't leave it where you found it because that will get you an undeserved bitching out, total bring down.

Which means that previous suggestions, while a dick move in normal life, is on the table here. If you're living with stoners don't smoke weed that you know isn't yours. No one will respect your shit if you don't respect theres, then it turns into this whole paranoia deal and since weed can enhance paranoia, no good. But again, in this case, someone elses weed carelessness is going to be a bring down on you, so you have to take it-and the best way to remove all evidence is to burn it. And if you're going to burn it anyway...

The other option is to actually lay it on your dad. "Hey, pops. I know mom talked to you about my smoking, well I found this nug here and it ain't mine. So...whats up?"

Now, only you know your dad so you have to judge whether he'll flip out and deny shit and say it was yours and your stoner ass just forgot it was there (a reasonable assumption, by the way) and get you bitched out anyway-in which case you should have just smoked it and kept your fool mouth shut. Crying "I learned it from watching you, okay!?!" will only be funny to you, and only if you live in the US and are too old to be worrying whether your parents know you smoke weed...so, yeah...

Now, if you're pretty sure it's your dads stash and your dad will be level if you call him on it, this might be a big bonding moment for the two of you. He might still tell you that he doesn't want you to smoke, but he might be straight with you about things, which will be a refreshing change. If I had a kid I'd want him to hold out until he was older because of issues of development and I just think it's important that you are solid with who you are before you start fucking with it. But when he was older we'd sit down and smoke fat bowls and have a grand ol' time. It'll be a right of passage that will kick ass all over that first beer with your dad.

This all hinges on how you read the attitude of your dad. If he's a hot head or occasionally unreasonable, smoke and enjoy. If he's reasonable and even headed, have a moment with dad. You still might be able to smoke. Especially if you're able to get better weed-because as a friend once hilariously said (while stoned) when being asked who the hell still smokes swag, "Dad's always have swag."

Unless you're dad's hip. Then maybe he's getting better weed than you. Especially if you're still in high school-for some reason high school kids smoke the worst fucking weed. Just another reason to wait until you meet people who have weed worth smoking.

So there's my advice.

That would be a /thread post if not for the spelling mistakes. By the way, where is the "I learned it from watching you" quote from? I've seen it parodied elsewhere before.

Oh, whatever, some your you're errors...I don't need your class to graduate...

The "I learned it from watching you" is from an old PSA where a kid is confronted by a dad with a stash box and demands "Where did you learn to do this?!? Where!" To which the kid tearfully replies, "I learned it from watching you, okay!?!"

Man, why are everyone's parents so much cooler than mine?

Because everyone else's parents aren't the ones who ran your life with insanely absurd rules. Comparatively everyone else has cooler parents because "they aren't yours".

Trust me... I had weird ones. There was the sock rule... I couldn't do anything at my mother's house unless I had socks or slippers on my feet...

My dad's two main rules were: no starting fires and no Tom Cochrane, and the other one, call if you're going to be later than the time you gave (I had no curfew).

Y'know, I'd forgotten about that...

As for the OP...either ask your dad about it, if you reckon he won't go ape-shit, or smoke it yourself. If it's your dad's and you smoke it, he'll either keep schtum, or ask you about it.

Of course, your parent's could've planted it there (no pun intended) to see what you'd do. Not that I'm trying to add to any paranoia you may have...
