Dude, you really need to stop doing this dumb shit. Stop smoking at your parents house or GTFO. God, at least I was smart enough to walk outside and do it after I got caught..

Wow, that was a pretty damn good letter. Don't listen to these know it alls. Not everyone is lucky enough to have cool parents. I read it in its entirety and let me just say. If they don't accept your herbal use after typing up that great letter then well. I hate to say it they are fucking dicks if so. Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. Just don't start eating ecstasy every weekend and your all good.

I wouldn't call having respect for other peoples homes being a know it all. My parents were against drug use. So when I still lived with them I refrained from using them while at home and had no problems. It's not that hard to leave the house when you want to get high.

I respected my parents home and didn't smoke weed or drink in it. I walked down the street smoking a joint like it was a cigarette, then walked back. Then i would change my shirt and brush my teeth. My parents apologize now for being giant asshats about it 12 years ago. Since then i found out they are both alcoholics and were always drunk when they were home. My mom is a pill popper, and my dad smokes weed sometimes. Fucking hypocrites.
Anyways, i asked them a few months ago if they thought i was doing good in life, if i was a good father, and if i made them proud. They said most defiantly yes! I then told them i smoke pot still and it makes me a better healthier person. All they could do was ask me questions about how it helped me, and why i thought it was healthy for me. I told them how my spine was fucked up when i was a kid, and when they refused to take me to a doctor how pot helped me survive the pain. I showed them paper work on how badly i have arthritis, and then explained to them how great weed is helping to alleviate the pain now.
They freaked out that i had medical proof that my back was that messed up. They thought i was just complaining about growing pains all the time, and just wanted to get high because i was addicted. I told them about the only addiction i have ever had, and that was on prescription pain killers than almost killed me that doctors gave me. I told them i toke up rather than take even aspirin because it was safer, then i showed them proof supporting both of my claims.
Well now that I'm a adult and still saying this and living in the times we live in today of information at your fingertips, they totally apologized to me and asked me if i would smoke with them some day lol. I told them i wanted them to live longer, so when they think they need pills for pain, or want to go on another drinking binge to please call me and get their rocks off in a safe way and eat some edibles or smoke some weed with me lol.
I can't believe my dad apologized to me and actually listened to reason. He couldn't argue with me once i showed him countless documentation on the helpfulness and safety of cannabis.
My suggestion OP is to stop doing drugs in your parents house. Then, when you grow up and move out you can try to talk to them on a equal level. They are not going to listen to you right now. Their job is to tell you what to do the best way they know how. They might not have the right idea about pot atm, but from what i can tell parents don't respect their kids. They are the leaders, so why would they take your advice now? Show them you can stand on your own and be a productive member of society on your own before trying to turn their worlds upside down. Their whole lives they were told by the government that pot is horrible. There is no way they are going to listen to their kid when the system they were programmed by deems a substance extremely dangerous. It's sad i know, but you are really in no position to disobey them outright right now.
Hide that shit good. You still have to earn their respect as an adult, and spinning their little worlds upside down isn't going to work while you depend on them to pay the water bill to flush the toilet.

Dude. Give up on pot. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but lets just say I don't think you're ready to be smoking it yet.

Ya my parents don't care if its in their house or not. They don't want me to be doing it period. And going for a walk and smoking a bowl in the middle of the street in the middle of the night doesen't sound like a good idea to me.
I have a much higher chance of getting caught if I do leave the house. Of course they are going to know I am smoking when I just get up and sneak off in the middle of the night. Anyways it's hard to explain and you don't fully understand the situation I am in. Or the depression and adhd I suffer with and how weed relieves me of that.
If I didn't have a bowl to come to at the end of every shitty repetetive day at work I probably would have killed myself by now.
Ya I know I know what your thinking the weed is making me depressed well guess what. I went for a month without weed and I was just as depressed if not more so then when I did smoke.

Anyways it seems the majority of the comments here are directed at how much of a dumbass I am. I have heard this plenty of times and don't need to hear it anymore. It's starting to ring in my ears and it's making my already low self esteem even worse. "ya ya I know I just need to suck it up"
are you guys even reading the letter? what do you guys think of it? I need feedback. Not more comments on how much of a dumbass I am. I already get enough of that.

I added this to the end of my letter after my dad came in this morning for the talk. He ended up telling my how satan is trying to get my soul and that I am living in a delusion. He then screamed at the top of my lungs how he does not want me using drugs.
Here it is.
Well after talking to you this morning It has come to my attention that this letter will be taken the wrong way and that it is impossible for me to explain or for you to understand. I don’t know what to do anymore I feel like everyone is so against me because of the way I choose to live and it is the most isolating feeling in the world. I guess it is impossible for communication to be established and that misunderstandings will always be present. All I want is to be able to explore my own mind but it has become clear to me that everyone is strongly against this idea or thinks there are other ways.
I think if you guys were in the scenario where your parents were very against what you believe in and were constantly giving you anti Mormon speeches that are completely absurd and flat out untrue you too would find yourself continuing your practice and wanting to leave so you can practice freely. Think about erics situation and how his mom was so against Mormons based on just what she just heard and told him she didn’t want anything to do with Mormonism going on in her house. Telling him she does not want the Book of Mormon in her house. I find I am in the same situation here with you guys. I know to you it is completely different but it is the same to me. Here is an article about the spiritual use of drugs http://druglibrary.org/SCHAFFER/lsd/stolarof.htm . Please read it as it means a lot to me.
I typed this out because I can express my feelings better on paper then trying to say it out loud. I know that I am not very good at communicating with people about the way I feel and a lot of times I choose to not even bother. So please give this a good read and put some thought into it.
I am not asking you to be proud of my drug use or to allow me to do it in your house because I know you are very strongly opposed to it and I put dad in the really awkward situation of being the stake president and having a son that uses drugs in his house. But I just want you to try to understand and have compassion. Anyways sorry or being so difficult I’m sure you guys weren’t expecting me to turn out the way I did and you look down on the way I choose to live and feel hurt and betrayed.
I just wish you guys can understand where I am coming from. Anyways I love you and I hope we don’t have to fight or argue with each other too much.

Don't blame weed for making you not kill yourself because of every repetitive day, you make it sound addicting. :P Marijuana after awhile (a few years of tokage every day) definitely affects your motivation, and I'm speaking from experience.
If you're always depressed, even when you smoke, smoking probably isn't what you need, you don't need to numb your problems out of smoke them into oblivion, you need a life change and to do something that will make you happy.

Direct them to some sources where they can do their own reading, like erowid.
Why do you think your parents don't want you smoking? You need to find out what they worry about and quash their fears. Its not just because its illegal and "unhealthy", they are worried you will become a pothead and such. Parents always assume the worst will happen, you have to show them its all good.
There are plenty of resources for "talking to your kids about drugs", but none for talking to the parents!

I read everything you wrote. It's more of the same shit nearly every pothead has spewed at one time. That letter will only create problems for you.
You should just accept that they don't want you doing that shit. Just quit while you're at home, save your $$ so you can move out and do what you want. Then hide it until you feel like you've earned their respect as an adult.
At that point, if you choose to tell them, you will get much further.
(The medical reasons you listed are suspect and too convenient.)
