Don't you hate it when...

[YourHondaSux]

...your parents tell you about when they partied/drank/smoked pot back in the day.


So, I just had to take a drug test here at work to finalize my promotion (w00t!). I told my dad about it and he was like "So are you not smoking pot anymore?" Cuz he knew I got high while I lived at home and pretty much all through college. But, I haven't smoked for quite a while. I told him I quit because it is too expensive around here. All we got is the expensive ass kind bud for like $55 for an eighth - ouch! So anyway, he proceeds to tell me that when he was young he could get a quarter ounce for $5. He then told me that he used to buy it by the pound and sell it when he was a teenager up in Baltimore. He even went as far as to tell me about the 6 foot plant he had. That's just something you don't want to hear from your dad. Ya feel me?

I've got a funny story about this.

A buddy of mine decided to grow some - so he gets some seeds, a couple pots, a small lamp, and puts it all together in his bedroom closet. Of course, this is years ago when he was still living with the 'rents.

His mother decides to vacuum his room while he's at school one day, and spots the light leaking out from the closet. She opens the door to find two little plants trying to make a go of it.

Now what he didn't know at the time, is that his mom used to be a big smoker.

He comes home, and there's no light under the closet door anymore, so he instantly assumes he's been busted, and runs over to check. He opens the closet and nearly goes BLIND. His mother toodled down to the hydroponics shop, picked up a professional watering system, proper grow lights, reflective insulation - the works. So when he opens the door, all this is installed, all his clothes and such have been moved to some other location in the house, and the reason he couldn't see the light anymore is because his mother did a better job on the installation than he did, and ran the reflective insulation all the way to the carpet. Oh, and he also went from 2 little pots to a whole family of them!

For the next several years, his mom would raid his closet every now and then to harvest some for her personal use.

[americanjebus]

no, i hate it when parents talk about sex, and how they do it, or who they did it with before they had me.

NOT NECESSARY GAWD DAMN.

 

[MDCmotorsports]

Yeah my brother got busted by my mom back in the day for trying to grow the sh!t in the back yard.

Wasn't my parents, but my uncle had "the back in the day talk with me" in the car once when I was like 12.

Funny stuff now that I look back on it, but at the time it was really wierd.

Congrats on your promotion btw, what do you do for work?

 

[Jeff Lange]

Avoid poppy seeds before drug tests!

(Anyone see that Mythbusters episode? I kept thinking of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine is eating all those poppy seed muffins then fails her drug test, heh).

as far as smoking with relatives...i've only gotten high with my aunt who is 30, she was like can u get me some herb (0haha made me laugh) so i get it and we sat down and started to smoke few mins later she was like ohh man wtf is this shit. i was rolling. guess it was toooo strong for her

My parents were always really cool on the drug and sex talks. The sex talks were usually simple but informative with no details about them, thank goodness.
Drugs, though.. when they were young, they did drugs. Quite a few drugs. We didn't have much money when I was a kid. As I got older, they had more money and they had quit drugs [coincidence?], but they must have had connections still, because they told me that if I ever wanted to try something, we would talk about it and they would get some from a source that they knew to be safe. I never tried or had the urge to do any illegal drugs, but it was really cool that my parents did that.

 

[lanky189]

having just experienced pot for the first time not too long ago, i can say that i find it hard to beleive that people who drink so heavily, look so far down upon pot smokers.

i'll most likely do it again, oddly enough my parents never did, and aren't really drinkers either, but i'm both. go me!

Werd, it's so hypocritical.

 

[SupraMario]

LOL, I gots tha hippie parents here, too.
Moms from germany if that says anything, LOL
and $55 for an 1/8th damn, last time i check here in BFE, it was like 30 max.

 

[YourHondaSux]

Man, I'm glad I'm not alone on this. I knew you guys had some hippie parents too.
Yeah, 55 for an eighth. It is some hard core, dank ass, sticky icky icky, oooh weee. Shwag is not even an option around Raleigh. Back in Fayetteville I was paying standard 25 for a quarter for the cheap shit. I think now that I passed my drug test and got a fat raise, I'm gonna go pick up a quarter and a new bong. Party time!!

Congrats on your promotion btw, what do you do for work?

Thanks. I work for the CarQuest corporate offices here in Raleigh, NC. We do all the administrative stuff for the CarQuest corporation. Hell, we even film commercials in our building. Personally I'm in the IT department that maintains the network between distribution centers. All the CQ financial and inventory data are stored on our servers. I intitiate and monitor the transfer of data from the distribution centers to our servers for order/financial processing and backup storage. I've also been doing a lot of software development lately making our programs more effective/efficient. As if you didn't already think I am a dork, here's the kicker...all our systems are UNIX based. So I do all my work on a UNIX terminal. And its even more boring than it sounds. But hey, it pays pretty good and as of December 5th, I'll be making even more. :bigthumb:

I have had that talk with my kids (14-boy, 17-girl)...

We will not ever share the details of my childhood. No need. I explain that these are the times in their life where they will get exposed to alot and do alot of things I may never find out about.... as it has always been for teenagers (maybe for centuries).

Anyways, I talk about experimentation, peer pressure, and being safe. They are to make the choices and they will have to deal w/the consequences (if any).

However, if I catch them, I will bust their @$$3$!! (Just doin' my job ;-)

We will not even share a drink, 'til way late in the game... when they have their own kids. Not being a hypocrit, just not gonna make it easy and/or support anything illegal (or legal stuff like sex ;-). Even if I do/did something, it's my job as a parent to try to keep them from doing them things. They'll still do things and see things and get away with stuff. I am just not gonna encourage/support it.

Good job on that promotion!!!!

CarQuest 16y/o counter boy... "Uh manager sir. This computer says the exchange price on a rebuilt 7mgte is only $50 with no core."

Carquest manager MR. MAn "CANT BE! I KNOW THEY GO FOR MORE!"

CarQuest 16y/o counter boy in squeeky voice... "Well sir the computers don't lie."

 

[SupraMario]
