That's always been a misnomer. You'd be very surprised to find out how many can't live without it, or even yet, can't go a day by without it. I find it hilarious when a pothead claims it's not addicting and vindicates themselves by claiming they can quite "anytime."

Anyways, I've always come to the conclusion that the addiction depends on the person. People can do coccaine recreationally without it turning habitual. MJ moreso.

I say you just come clean. Your parents are not stupid, and if you think your lies are working your pretty much just insulting them.

But before you come clean I suggest your do your research, get your facts ready and educate them on your hobby. All asian parents think weed is just as bad as crack... and thats the worst part about it.

You r 19 lol Move the fuck out if u dont like what ur parents say. There lightlers for fucks sake UR 19!!!

If you cared about your parents and how they felt, then you should tell them exactly what's going on and ask THEM for help. be honest, it may hurt now, but it will hurt more later.

Parents always worry about their son even if they don't say or show it. My parents react the same towards my brother, but if you do not have the will to quit, you wont. Think about your parents, why do they raise you for 19 years? just to get you smoking pot? Sometimes they do not want to believe you're bad or more like they don't even know what they can do and they can't figure out why you've become this way and in the end, without you seeing more likely, burst into tears. I saw it myself. (I ain't the one smoking though, I respect my parents more than smokes and drinks)

My mom blamed herself for my pot smoking. Things like, what she could have done differently so that I wouldn't have started, blah blah blah. She cried, and although I did care, I wasn't about to stop smoking weed because of it. I had the will to quit, but I didn't want to. I loved smoking pot. She was ignorant about it, and thought it was on the same level as crack.

Every time she bugged me about it, I used it as an opportunity to educate her on it, and why I smoke it. Mothers worry because that's what mothers do. My dad supported my mom, but he was mostly passive on the whole situation. In fact, when I had a few plants growing in the basement, he'd try to help me out and water them haha.

The addiction to weed is mostly mental. It's not a physical addiction like cocaine, where your body needs it or it freaks out. I was a daily toker for 14 years, and I would sometimes quit for a few weeks at a time to reset my tolerance. There were no ill effects, other than a mental craving the first couple days. It was always good times when you take that first toke after not smoking it for a bit.
