That sucks man, sounds like they're pretty clueless when it comes to "drugs". Maybe you could send them an email with a few links to information on marijuana and mushrooms, just to clear up that they aren't addictive or poisonous.

Well it is about you for one. They still see you as their child and not your own individual person so it might be tough trying to stop them from being so overprotective and psychotic towards your actions.
You need to apologize to them for having the material in their house. Then you need to explain to them to make them understand you are your own person and you will not be controlled. It's hard to get around because it automatically looks disrespectful but fuck.
Don't mention any illegal activities to them and don't bring it around their house.

That sounds just like my parents.
You should try to get them to hear the facts after they calm down a little bit, but in the end...does it really matter if they listen or not? They can't really do anything to you at this point. Going to a psychologist isn't so bad. If they want to pay a ridiculous amount of money for you to sit there and talk to someone about problems you don't even have, let them. My parents made me do that too. All you have to do is sit there and talk about whatever the hell you feel like for an hour while they nod and ask stupid questions.

As long as your not growing out of their home(anymore) or leaving illegal substances their it really is none of their business. Especially if you only smoke pot like once a month and probably shroom like once a month, your parents seem very insecure about these things.
If I were you a would present them with a nice little report on the "dangers" and benefits of using these substances in moderation. All with REAL facts and sources, make them read it before they talk to you again, and you can tell that psych ----no thanks!

I report what it says. The sacred mushroom takes me by the hand and brings me to the world where everything is known. It is they, the sacred mushrooms, that speak in a way I can understand."

johnnyrad said: I REALLY need some support right now.
Long story short, I'm in college but still dependent on my parents. I came clean to them about smoking pot/growing + using shrooms after they found some questionable material I left in my room back home ( ).
I had to promise never to abuse drugs again (I'll treat em just fine ) and also was given a choice of rehab (FOR WEED... I smoke once a month at most), jail, or to see a psychologist. I chose psych and I see her for the first time on tuesday. I have been lying to my parents, or rather stretching the truth about using drugs but for both of our own goods, and i do regret that but I'm sure you understand.
My mom jumped to these conclusions so far: when I lived at home I was sneaking out at night, I've been huffing paint , weed has damaged my health and im addicted , I'm lucky I didnt die from eating poisonous mushrooms. Not one of those is or has ever been true.
Basically my parents love me soooo soo much that they will fix me by any means (my mom reminded me about reporting me to authorities not too long ago). I asked her one simple thing: to do some research or at least listen to my facts (not even my opinions) about pot and shrooms but she just said "this isn't about me". YES they have a valid concern for me breaking the law and lying to them but they have also lied to me countless times (not once apologized, they are the type that's never wrong) as well as broken the law in their own "acceptable" ways.
best part is I could have just lied and said I was smoking cigarettes but I decided to be honest. FUCK ME
Sounds EXACTLY like my parents, they even said the same thing about mushrooms. My advice is just to suck it up and quit using drugs until you can afford to support yourself. Your parents will not listen to the facts no matter what, in they're eyes everything you say is drug addict delusional bullshit. It sucks but you got caught and you now have to deal with the consequences.

I told my parents I do drugs. I told them why, had many discussions.
Now they're OK with me growing Salvia if I want.
I like my parents.
Use some facts and rhetoric, and basically show them you're smart(if you consider yourself as smart, of course) and responsible.

Yep, honesty is not always the best policy. You just can't change some people's minds no matter how hard you try; personally I feel the less the authority figures in your life know the better.

Parents/family members are more important than drugs.
Given their rather extreme views I recommend that you never discuss the subject with them again.
Threatening to narc you out is borderline psychotic, they really don't know what they are doing. Doesn't sound like they have enough evidence for the police to do more than a knock and talk though.
They will never understand, and thats ok.

Psychiatrists are often really cool, you might not mind talking to her and might get into some interesting conversations.
If someone offered to send me to a psych for free I would probably go, its nice to get a second opinion on interactions with other people, important life choices, girls, drugs, etc.

Give it time, and their threats to contact law enforcement will be futile. If they wait long enough, and all the stuff is thrown away, you cant get in trouble. If anything they would get into trouble for not informing the law sooner. As long as you have nothing on you, there is nothing they have on you (pun intended).
And as for what happened, weed may have not damaged your health or well being..... but to deny its impact on your family's relationship would be stupid as hell, Even if you dont agree with it. You wern't just smoking weed and using drugs.....you were fucking growing them in another persons home. You said it yourself, that you are dependent on your parents. If they let you live their while you attend school you should be damn grateful, not repaying them by risking their freedom. If you wanna grow pot and fry yourself with an endless amount of shrooms, why not wait until your out of their fucking house?
Im not bitching about your drug use. How an adult chooses to live is his own business. But when you take your own lifestyles that have potential for legal consequences and force them on others without permission......thats being a dumb ass. Attending the counselors was probably a bad move because now they are probably gonna drug test you. Get your shit together and learn to be an adult. Being an adult doesn't necessarily mean being drug free, but it sure as hell implies some concept of respect for others, which you demonstrated none of.

Im sorry OP, uninformed parents can be frustrating.
