I basically fell out with my dad because as a sober addict he couldnāt keep control of his own anger and didnāt like see me enabling my own addiction or my grandma complaining about it. But that was his own issue and thatās where he failed to understand. Until he gets that under control, plus the whole anger and respect thing, Iām better off not being around him

Itās 420 I just smoked a hash
Thatās how I feel about it. I understand he didnāt like it, and that my grandma doesnāt like it, but my grandma basically decided sheād rather have me around than try and bitch me out about it, because she knows (hopefully, sheās got dementia) Iām not gonna respond well to that.
My aunts help meditate sometimes, mostly cause of the dementia and communication barrier. What matters to me is mutual respect and consideration, in general, and my grandparents are generally respectful and considerate people for the most.
Iāll smoke a bowl now in honor of your hash @Foreigner

One night she was telling me to stop smoking and to go to sleep, so I was like hey, wtf, Iām just gonna go home.
And she was really upset so my aunts got involved and worked it out, basically she canāt remember that Iām gonna smoke and then wrap it up and turn off the deck light, she gets agitated and that was what was going on. So the real solution was for me to smoke out front late at night, so she wouldnāt be kept up by seeing a light and not remembering whatās going on.
Hopefully I explained that well

I basically pushed my whole family to get over it and accept it, ESPECIALLY when they legalized it half a decade ago.
Iād just show up, talk about weed, refute and rebut any negative facts or stereotypes, work out where i could smoke the weed, and didnāt act like a crazy asshole. They got used to it

Oh, that. Im pretty insulated from it but I agree. I basically found out my dadās family is a bunch of peer pressurers and enablers in a sense. Hell, a lot of families are, with the āthis is just the way we areā behaviour. Ignore uncle Billy, heās been creepy his whole life, etc
If there were changes, if there were updates, if there were developments I would listen but nope.
