I have to say my dad was cooler than I expected. I now live with a roommate so I do not live at parents anymore. But onto what I want to talk about. My dad came over to my place a few days ago and behold I had a jar of mushrooms out. He just looks at them and says Do you have psychedelic strawberries too? And that was that. Growing up my dad was a tight ass and strict as hell. I remember him blowing up on my brother when he got caught with pot back when I was in middle school and my bro was in High school. But i have a suspicion that my dad used shrooms or LSD and reefer. I get this my his huge liking of the grateful dead. I do too, by dad looked like a hippy and had an afro when he was in collage. I know this is sorta a stereotype but o well. I guess people are cooler than you think. (And yes he knew the mushrooms were magic ones in case someone thinks that me maybe did not think otherwise.)

Yeah I should have. Thank you though, you just reminded me that my grandfather expressed a wanting to smoke marijuana or try some shrooms when he heard my friend and I's discussion. I know I shall talk to him about shrooms before hand and explain everything to him. He kept talking to me about how he got high when he was like 30 with a fellow worker and it was one of the greatest pleasures he had experienced.

-------------------- And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk ...four times already this year and I used to be over by the window and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and its not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire.

My mom admitted to smoking pot when she was in college before, and when I asked her if she had done anything else, she said no cuz she didn't get the opportunity... I want to trip with the woman, she's cool as hell.

mxdrk, this is very interesting as I have the exact same suspicions with my own father. Hes a huge Greatful Dead fan and many of his college buddies are complete stoners. It just doesn't fit though because my memories from childhood see him as an ultraconservative businessman...
I would like to ask him about psycadelic drugs, just don't know what he'd say. That is cool that your dad was so calm about it, you're lucky. Good story.

that's cool man. sounds like he understands the reality of the psychedelic scene. talk to him and see if he wants to toke up. hell, get your grandpa in too. three generations of stoners puffing on some herb though i don't think hooking up your grandpa or even your dad with mushrooms would be a good idea. you wouldn't want your fam's to whigg out or anything. it might be a little too late for grandpa
and psychedelic strawberries? man that would be killer! i love strawberries

Right, I'm sure your parents don't want their little boy using drugs, no matter how harmless or fun or whatever. Even if your parents have or do smoke, trip whathaveyou. When your older though...

My mum rox. She used to let me know how much it hurt her that i smoked pot when i was 13, understandably, but shes so open to the universe, she understands i have to do these things to learn & experiance it all for myself, which im greatful for,and will be the same towards my children. Now that im 20 and am a health practioner along side her, she doesnt mind that i grow pot in her vege garden, have spots on her oven & dry shrooms in her lounge! She wont get high with me though, im sure shes been tempted though

Well, my old man smoked weed every day while I was growing up. He still does. But I never told him I smoked, and he never caught me with any weed. He even asked me if I wanted to smoke a bowl with him a few times, but I always said no b/c I figured since he thought I was a non-stoner, it'd be best to keep it that way.

Be Kind to Your Parents
Be kind to your parents Though they don't deserve it. Remember that grown ups Is a difficult stage of life They're apt to be nervous And over excited Confused by their daily storm and strife. So keep in mind though it seems hard I know. Parents were children long ago. Incredible!! So treat them with patience and kind understanding. Despite of all the foolish things they do. Some day you might wake up and find you're a parent too.

Younger Generation (John Sebastian)
Why must every generation think their folks are square And no matter where their heads are they know mom?s ain?t there Cause I swore when I was small that I?d remember when I knew what?s wrong with them that I was smaller then
Determined to remember all the cardinal rules Like sun showers are legal grounds for cutting school I know I have forgotten maybe one or two And I hope that I recall them all before the baby?s due And I knoe he?ll have a question or two
Like "hey Pop, can I go ride my zoom It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended by balloons And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs" And I must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation
Then I?ll know that all I?ve learned my kid assumes And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons And still I?ll try to them him all the things I?ve done Related to what he can do when he becomes a man And still he?ll stick his fingers in the fan
And "Hey, Pop, my girlfriend?s only three She?s got her own videophone and she?s taking L.S.D. And now that we?re best friends she wants to give a bit to me But what?s the matter Daddy, how come you?re turning green? Can it be that you can?t live up to your dream?"

You have to remember that you parents were young once too. Most people have done pot at some time in their life. As a parent I dont want my kids doing ANY type of drugs untill they are 18ish.
Beleive it or not drugs at a yound age can and will hinder your growth.

I've heard that mentioned a few times before.
Proof? Links? I'd be interested to see some data for future reference.
