ATTN all Ents who still live with their parents

BabyEddieConrad · 11 months

Good advice.

Trystlol · 11 months

I do all these things and they still give me shit! WoooooooOooooooOoooooooOOOO!

subnucleus · 11 months

you shouldn't do nice things for your parents because you smoke weed, you should do nice things for your parents because they are your parents

BeatleFloyd · 11 months

Above all, just don't be a dumbass.

watchmego65 · 11 months

I follow this advice and my parent's know I smoke and are ok with it as long as I help out.

appnkusher · 11 months

uptoking for confirmation of technique

dermanus · 11 months

As a parEnt, I heartily endorse this message. I have a problem if you are wasting your life. I have a problem if you are in prison. I do not have a problem with you responsibly enjoying something I enjoy.

alterzax · 11 months

This is absolutely excellent. Uptokes

rtressata10 · 11 months

Exactly!!!! I do this as well!

Ordal · 11 months

Nice try, Mom!

SabresNBud1063 · 11 months

perfect advice

zeppelin_64 · 11 months

My parents knew I smoked when I was 15 and I did shit all, and they made me go to counselling. Now I'm 19 and smoke every day, but I contribute. They're definitely catching on, but I think they care less. Follow this advice!

lauzeta · 11 months

Solid. My mom and I have a tacit agreement of exactly this nature. I take care of the house and be in general a good, conscientious son, and she turns a somewhat blind eye to my smot-poking.

fluffywhitekitten · 11 months

I want to state something very important here... THIS APPLIES TO EVERYONE, NOT JUST ENTS WHO LIVE WITH PARENTS Face it, if you participate in your community, help out your neighbors, be kind and go out of your way to do good things to others, etc, you are promoting the image that people that smoke cannabis are GOOD PEOPLE! In fact, if every one of us did that kind of stuff, we could show that we're better than the average person by far! Isn't that one of the strongest messages we can send to the opponents of legalization?

Durandal1707 · 11 months

Nice try dad.....

reticulation · 11 months

I always do this. In fact, I have taken my chances and decided to smoke in my basement w/ my frient(s). Afterwards, it's perfectly clean and straight. Being a successful stoner is comforting because you know you are getting shit done and enjoying life the way you chose to.

ATpup · 11 months

good advice even if you don't smoke weed

freeearlswag · 11 months

I wish everyone could understand this. Some parents are completely passive to illegal activities as long as their child gets good grades/does well in a sport/doesn't abuse any substances.

SentSS · 11 months

As I get older and I'm only home during the summers, I've come to see living with my parents as living with roommates I also happen to love. I wouldn't leave messes and be shitty towards some 20 year old I was sharing an apartment with so why would I do that to my parents? They have definitely noticed too. My sister said she was talking to my mom and I swear to you she actually said, "Beanhead27182 is a good kid. She's kind of a pothead, but... meh." As long as I don't get in legal trouble, she's cool with who I am :)

juicepants · 11 months

Nice try dad!

[deleted] · 11 months

Nice try mom

kmancb13 · 11 months

Nice try mom

cooooook123 · 11 months

I do this. My parents still won't let up one bit.

I truly care about them dearly. It's sad to see how badly brainwashed they are :(

cestaimee · 11 months

This is great, sound advice for ENTs and non-ENTs alike. Uptokes!

lordvig · 11 months

I call that common curtesy!

sweetsummerday · 11 months

If you show your parents you're a good kid, they won't care at all. It's just the truth.

SlayingEnnui · 11 months

I do this and try to do even more at times just because I know they've sacrificed a lot for me. They don't know I smoke but if they did, I'd imagine they wouldn't be too against it. I'm thinking of telling them soon but I'm waiting till I get a job.

jggm2009 · 11 months

Its called helping out and pulling your weight around the house, especially if you are not working and helping to pay bills.

beasybleezy · 11 months

Thank you! I've lived by this my whole life and can attest to its truth.

[deleted] · 11 months

i have two jobs, a 3.8 gpa money saved up, im so close with my dad and mom. they love me to death and i would die for them. there is a difference. choose wisly.

hipsterlolita · 11 months

Yeah, I've been extra good since my mum found my stash. She hasn't brought it up but I know she's the one that found it ):

Karabearrxoxo · 11 months

And if you have parENTS, smoke em up and they'll be happy ;)

canadian_bluenoser14 · 11 months

i have a parENT <3 love her dearly ! she is the best !!

tiyr · 11 months

I feel these are simple rules to live by as a good roommate, not just an ENT dependent living with parents. My roommate takes almost no responsibility in our house, I am the ENT in the house but he does almost nothing and argues away blame when you nicely ask him to clean up his mess, or his house guests' mess.

purple_pancake · 11 months

Wow. This is crazy because I bitched to my mom about mulching AND dishes. I think you just changed my life.

WalkonWalrus · 11 months

Agreed- Also acknowledge family is important, and that the short time we have on this planet is worth a little extra effort in helping a loved one so that you may enjoy and appreciate every moment in life a little more.

artnweednstuff · 11 months

John Goodman.

Vhaara · 11 months

This needs to be thought about by more people. I run into so many people thinkin' they are cool shit by sneaking out, taking chances, returning home stoned out of their minds when they're parent's are home. In my opinion, it all comes down to respect, responsibility, and most important of all, common sense.

Bootsk8 · 11 months

Everything about this. couldn't have said it better myself

riggard · 11 months

Sound advice, I wish my brother would realize this. Weed is kind of a casual thing in our household, and my brother has taken it as an excuse to do whatever he wants and not contribute. My dad is getting old and can't be doing yardwork, I go home on weekends to mow the lawn, rake the yard, move heavy stuff, etc. As soon as thats done we'll have a fine family toke (well the three of us, they still aren't too comfortable smoking with him yet).

TL;DR - My brother has the opposite problem, and thinks that because pot is ok, being lazy is too.

AshedCashedEm · 11 months

I am in drug councling for weed as a 17 year old, its been about 4 months, and i get outof it after 9 weeks sober, obviously ive been fucking up by smoking the legal herbs and my parents find out.. always. And i realized.. its because i act as a pothead,i sleep, and do nothing around the house. You have honestly opened a new relm to my life.

jozborn · 11 months

TL;DR don't be a pothead.

HairlineGood23 · 11 months

Told my mom, she was cool about it. Lol said she knew anyways. Then she started sharing past adventures and what not. I love my mom. :')

emmysterella · 11 months

Proud to say that I am a living example of this! Please take this great ents advice! Not only will it pay off for you in the end but you feel like a better person! Remember it's your parents house, respect is everything!

ukp42 · 11 months

Basically, your just saying, grow up & behave responsibly in some ones home. Even if that home is you're parents! Even though, am not a user,( Ent I think?), I believe it should be legalised, to control the quality of it, as any other consumer product. Am from the 60's, but can't remember it!

hadey70 · 11 months

Other thing is if you live with your parents is school. If you do well while being an ent your Parents cant pull the whole wasting your life bullshit.

JonnieGoodboyTyler · 11 months

The other day, my mom asked if I still smoked...and what was I doing at the time? Just got done walking the dog, mowing the lawn, and was washing my car when she asked me...it went pretty well.

likeanent · 11 months

DOWNVOTE I HATE EMPTYING THE TRASH ANGST

jkjk, you are 100% correct.

unbornmanatee · 11 months

But it's sooooo hard

Tygray · 11 months

"ATTN all ENTS who still live with their parents"..... MOVE OUT AND GET A JOB

baracudaboy · 11 months

This is what I do whenever Gram Gram asked me why I'm going to the store so many times a day. "Want me to pickup up a candy bar and some chips?"

zerocaloriecola · 11 months

nice try, parEnt!

[deleted] · 11 months

If you have parents, both of them, you're lucky...

megustapoo · 11 months

You fellow ents with parENTs are so lucky my mom is crazy against weed

Bland-Username · 11 months

I already do basically all of this, and i've gotten caught a total of 6 times; each of those times they said I would have to find another place to live the next time it happens...

Another bit of advice... don't give your parents any excuse whatsoever to come in your room. Take care of your laundry, keep your room clean, don't keep air freshener in the room, keep your windows open when you're gone so they don't have that "oh, i'm just going to go in for a sec and open the windo to get some fresh ai- WAIT A MINUTE WHAT'S THIS?! A Mareewanna pipe?! IT SMELLS LIKE SKUNK!" excuse (that was my typical ignorant post-hippie parent impression).

Seriously though, just look at your room from their perspective. 'Tis all it takes.

rastafireman · 11 months

I'm living with my parents and recently I have made this my M.O since a few weeks ago when it was clear they were onto my weed smoking. Works lie a charm. uptoke.

Ebonybleed · 11 months

Good sir,I do not live with my parents. But this is some sound advice! Kudos to you, sir! Have an up vote!

tirename · 11 months

I think all ents should be good people. Do good in school, respect your parents, be nice to your friends, help everyone around you, get an education, become a leader, legalize marijuana and become...A KING!

The ents will become the superior human race!

seangug · 11 months

Get your shit done, and then light up. Twerds.

bookworm4400 · 11 months

something everyone should do Ent or not. Being nice to other people is awesome.

[deleted] · 11 months

I thought this was gonna be preachy but it wasn't, it was all sound advice.

tweezyb · 11 months

This is good advice for anyone living at home no matter what. Now that I'm older, and a parent, I realize how hard this shit is. We appreciate any help we can get.

somekjoo · 11 months

I don't mean to be an asshole, but I've seen a couple posts of ents being ~30 still living with your parents.. if you're one of those people, please, pick your life up and get a job (if you don't have one) and move out. Be independent.

holybowler · 11 months

Also, invest in a MFLB.

Weedthepeople · 11 months

My older brother, my twin brother, my dad and myself all smoke from the trees, i guess i'm lucky, never had to be sneaky about it.

The_Kief_Chief · 11 months

Such solid advice.

OlyOriginal420 · 11 months

Great advice. I have done this for the most part as I want to help them out as much as I can and maintained a 4.0 this year and finishing college two years early but recently my father has said it needed to stop in his and respect his decision to do so, as it is in better interest due to the laws here. Huge shock to me because previously he was okay as long as I stayed home and outside when I smoked, didn't have others here will smoking, didn't drive, and maintained decent academics. My house reaked like lemon diesel when my mom came home, and basically lost trust. Oh well, time to earn that back.

Also, please don't drive high like you said going on a stealth mission bowl cruise.

wensul · 11 months

I help out around the house (A small amount, very, very small, things like dinner occasionally, take the trash out, occasional dishes.

While working part time and going to school full time.

MrWise · 11 months

Haven't lived with parents for going on 4 years now, but when I did this is usually how I acted. Genius advice sir!

shittymcduck · 11 months

I wish I could have heard this advice 5 years ago. My senior year of high school I was busted and busted hard and it really all came down to I had the wrong outlook. I was acting and dressing like a typical stoner and thought that in not "hiding myself" I was being upstanding and respectful. Luckily I am now way past that and have figured out that if you dress nice, take care of yourself, are happy and friendly people will not worry so much about your extracurricular. Oh graduating college and finding a job sure did help haha.

PizzaMan420trees · 11 months

Very good advice. Definite uptoke

xMingLeex · 11 months

Thanks I needed to hear that.

thefourthhouse · 11 months

I find it much easier to co-exist with my Dad when he smokes a bowl with me.

captainsnow · 11 months

[deleted]

Dr6Shooter · 11 months

My parents are fucking crazy. I go to school FOOL time, when I work I give them all my earnings, help out around the house; and the second they smell weed in my room they fucking go crazy and treat me like a heroine addict and like I'm a failure. It's becoming stressful to smoke weed, I don't know how to drill it in their stupid minds that it isn't the end of the world.

girraween · 11 months

I found out my Dad still smokes when I asked for my parents permission to smoke on their premises. I still remember how it went as if it happened yesterday.

OhioDude · 11 months

You sir have hit the nail on the head. It's about responsibility. If you show you are a responsible young adult, keeps good grades, help around the house, and respect others you're golden in my book.

bloodfail · 11 months

You'll all (mostly) realise that you had it pretty good, once you've left.

Unless of course your parents really are assholes.

carverrva · 11 months

when i started doing this my parents became somewhat chill with my smoking habit. don't forget to keep up your grades and stay out of trouble because thats an easy way to stress out your parents

Terp7 · 11 months

That was excellent advice that many people, including myself, should use!

EdanisG · 11 months

Couldnt agree more

masterofdarko · 11 months

Living with the parents can be rough but this is some real talk I abide by these gENTlemanly code and so far they don't know that I am an aficionado of sorts

watf · 11 months

i ALREADY do this!

ScorpionsSpear · 11 months

Ent or not, these are just good words to live by.

Mercury1600 · 11 months

except when they know something is up because you are acting strangely good

l_RAPE_GRAPES · 11 months

I have never seen a post on reddit so positive and on message, and look where it's posted.

Too bad pot's as bad as heroine and meth.
