Until recently marijuana has been an “open secret” in my family, then I also have been a pothead since high college, and my parents knew this however never said anything, however at first I thought it was because they were cool people, which they are… However, later I discovered they were also potheads, and my folks were both college lecturers, so they had to keep it quiet that they enjoyed getting stoned. I feel the peach doesn’t fall far from the tree after all! Last year the issue of marijuana legalization came up on the statewide ballot, and was voted through with resounding success; the people have spoken, and they want legal cannabis! As I said, this takes the pressure off of me to keep my marijuana use a secret, because it’s no longer illegal, but since my parents still teach elementary college, they still don’t want people to know they get high, so I have started going to the cannabis dispensary on their behalf. It is a genuinely odd feeling to have your Dad hand you cash for a cannabis purchase! My mom will write out a list of the cannabis products they need, and dad hands me enough cash to cover the bill… plus a few extra bucks for myself. It’s such a wholesome scene of family togetherness, isn’t it? Oddly enough, I rarely smoke cannabis with my parents, even though my associate and I all do it, my associate and I all do it separately. My parents like to smoke cannabis on the back porch at night, while I usually do it in my bedroom while I am writing or listening to tunes.
