My parents know...what should I do?

I had a conversation with one of my siblings, who told me that my parents know Ive been smoking weed, and they know I'm "growing some kind of mushroom" (ive been growing cubensis for about a year and a half). They also think it's somehow realted to one of my friends, that she was the one who got me involved. I started way before i even met her...
They have the wrong idea, but theyre really afraid to talk to me about it...and I'm afraid to talk to them also....but at the same time I have this urge to set them straight. My parents are not bad people, they won't disown me or send me to rehab or anything and they know they can't stop me from doing what I want to do, but I would hate to lose their trust and respect....I would also hate to lose my favorite hobby, growing mushrooms...
any advice would be appreciated

Tell them everything and also make SURE you tell them that all the stuff you have is expensive so please don't just throw it all away

talk to them and present them with facts about both weed and shrooms and show them that they are very safe to use and you are doing them very responsibly. tell them its a choice u made and woudl liek ther approval but wont stop because of their dissaproval.

i found that if you tried to show them you did drugs responsibly and as a learning experience, not just to you fuck up, it seems to ease their fears.

Might want to be careful. They might not know, but they will when you tell them.

yeah, but technically you could give it to your mom, she'd cook with them and the psilocin and psilocybin would be broken down by the cooking, and she would think that they're non-active.

I'd be careful about coming straight out with it to your folks. While "honesty is the best policy" in most cases, I know if I'd have told my parents something like that, they'd have freaked. Hell, my mom freaked when she found out that I chewed tobacco. The funny thing is that they smoked weed quite a bit (though they thought I didn't know). Obviously, you're the best judge of what you should or should not tell your parents, but run over the worst case scenario in your head a few times to pre-plan a reaction/defense if it comes to that.

I sorta like resin's idea... there are many parents that would actually support that... but the best way is to tell your parents for yourself. Say it straight out. If your getting good grades in high school or college, they seriously won't care at all, as long as its not a hard drug. I know many parents that will allow their kid's drug use as long as they're not messing their lives up...

Talk to them before they talk to you about it. When they decide to talk to you, their minds will already be made up. If you talk to them first, intelligently, you will be viewed as more responsible and obviously informed of your decision to persure your new hobby. As for the 'why' you brought it up to them, it surely will come up, you could go a couple different ways. 'My sibling said you already knew' is one way but maybe not the best. 'This is something that I'm interested in and very harmless as compared to other chemicals' is another approach. It just depends on your current situation. If/When you do bring it up to them, have plenty of reading material for them to check out so they can be informed. If they absolutely refuse to allow you to continue, I suggest respecting their wishes and stopping until you have a place of your own. Honesty is always best.

I would tell them everything, which i have done. I am constantly letting my parents know my plans and ideas about drugs, they even knew when i was pukeing up after mescaline. The thing is you need to show them that it is safe so dont go do stupid stuff whilst high. i have proven that drugs dont turn you into a usless bum will colledge and uni, So i guess there happy.
