Approaching Relatives

I've known my aunt and uncle smoke weed for a long time now. I'm also positive they know I smoke. We've had some conversations about it and they're really chill with weed. And I've found weed and pipes of theirs before. I really want to approach them about smoking with me some time, I'm just not really sure what to say. I don't know whether to let them catch me on purpose, or just mention it. Any suggestions?

How old are you?
IMO it's not a good idea. Older adults may be against this. Why? because as an adult they have the attitude: "I've made it, and I'm secure with life etc." For someone younger they prob. would not want to be a "bad influence" as when you are younger, you are faced with more "big life decisions" (e.g. where are you going with your life?, what are you gonna do? etc. etc.).

everything you said is right, but my family is especially lenient with weed. i've been picked up many times from friends houses reeking of pot and my mom just laughs.

If you think you're ready to approach them about it, be relaxed, they wouldn't wan an awkward situation anyway. Just bring up the topic lightly and offer them some green. Worst case scenario is they say no, right?

I second that. 
As for "IMO it's not a good idea. Older adults may be against this. Why? because as an adult they have the attitude: "I've made it, and I'm secure with life etc." For someone younger they prob. would not want to be a "bad influence" as when you are younger, you are faced with more "big life decisions" (e.g. where are you going with your life?, what are you gonna do? etc. etc.). "
If they are cool with weed, they most likely don't have that ignorant attitude.

Spread the love man.
On topic, I may be approaching my older brothers with the same ideas. I dunno how they'd take it to know their little brother was a pothead, but I know they are too, so it's not like they've got any real arguments.

There is nothing better than smoking with your brother. I do with my younger one, and it is one hell of a good time. It is like family bonding, but in a much better and fun way. Definitely bring it up to them.

Will do man, will do. Once they get home. I've not seen either of them in 2 years. They're teaching english and living the hippie dream*, respectively.
*By hippie dream I mean traveling, taking drugs and rock climbing. Okay, agg hippie.

IMO, it all depends on you and them. Sorry to say, but you are the only one who can decide if this is a good decision; no one on this board (presumably) knows your aunt and uncle and can give you a real informative opinion.

I wish I could smoke with people in my family. Just about everyone I am related to are far right conservative. I'm the blacksheep of the family, ie. long hair, smokes, has more moderate if not liberal views.
