Nostalgia

By childhoodupinsmoke - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Austin

Today, I realized that the comforting, unique scent of my mother in my childhood was actually the smell of the marijuana she smokes. FML

Yea not always. My parents were/are stoners and they are violent as ****. Even more so when they smoke and get high.

58- Obviously they weren't smoking weed, bro.

Yeah... Weed calms you down so either you're lying or they arn't smoking weed.

That was a crack pipe, not a bong U are confused

Not all weed "slows you down". There are many types of weed from many types of marijuana plants, you know? Some make you stoned, others get you high. It's entirely possible they were getting high from weed. But it's also possible they were on crack.

"some make you stoned, others get you high" lolwat.

Yes. Some types of weed do make you slow, ie. stoned. Others make you giggly and energetic, ie. high. Do you still need me to dumb this down even further for you?

"stoned" and "high" are different words with the same meaning, being under the influence of marijuana. The words aren't differentiated between the type of high you get. Do you have some definitions for baked, smacked and toked, too?

I don't cry when my dog runs away I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay I don't get angry when my Mom smokes pot ****Lovin', is what I got. Just remember that!

You don't cry when your dog runs away? You must have an amazing amount of self-control.

Thanks for the clear-up. However, I must now question this Sublime character.

Sublime is a band. A very famous one, at that.

I can play the guitar like a mother ******' riot xD

Does your mom smoke two joints before she smokes two joints, and then smoke two more?

Grew up listening to Sublime. I'm a metalhead and still wake up and listen to Sublime. What I Got is a childhood favorite :)

You're 15 years old. You're still going through childhood.

Oh god no. 'comforting and unique smell." I hope you don't get addicted to it or start smoking marijuana.

Addicted to it just from the smell? It's not even physically addicting, and mentally addicting on rare cases, and that's if you basically constantly smoke and stay high. You're not going to get addicted to a product just from the scent. Or else I'd be addicted to cigarettes and old people because I'm always with my grandma, and, well. You get the point.

I dunno, bro. I heard that shit's dangerous. My brother's friend's cousin once smoked four whole marijuanas and it turned him gay.

37- I'm assuming you're joking, but I can only hope...

my dad got aids from sharing used marijuanas

Well, I started smoking 4 old people a day, and now I can't stop. Help me please!!!!

That is a very stupid remark HELLO dumbass

ClassyCommando - I rarely get actual out-loud laughs at comments here, but yours gave me a good one. Thanks.

4 whole marijuanas? The comment still made me laugh though.

How do you smoke 4 marijuanas? It's either a joint, blunt, bowl, etc...I'm rather confused by your statement.

It's a popular joke used in response to the ill-informed who think marijuana is an evil substance like heroin.

your retarded -_- you can't get addicted to pot.

I guess it's not very healthy to smoke near a young child, but if you look it up, marijuana has very little side-effects by itself. I know alot of people who smoke it responsibly, and I think would make good parents. Better than heroin, crack and most prescription medication many middle-aged people take, at any rate....

32 - It's got no more negative effects on the body than alcohol, yet that's legal.

Well me beating my neighbor is better than murdering them but they are both still illegal. If you always look at things as being better than something else you only set your limits one step above the lowest. Also, if they are breaking the law by doing it than it is not very responsible.

not really. if you do it in a safe, controlled environment, an don't operate machinery, it's likea 2 hour period of deep thoight. It's like going 5mph over the speed limit. As long as you limit yourself, you won't hurt yourself or anyone else. (ps: it's only illegal because the government has no way to tax it, or at least hasn't found a way yet)

Never says anything about smoking near the baby....

No where does this fml say the mother was smoking around the child, more likely the mother got high in a different part of the house then came and played with the child and simply smelled like pot.

There's just little info in the original FML... What I was trying to say, was that the problem with me would be smoking near the child or while pregnant and maybe abusing the substance.... I don't think it's worrying for a parent to be smoking pot, if the are responsible and discreet about it... Maybe the mother also had a medical condition that pot helped her with. There's way worse OP, an alcoholic or drug-addict parent,an abusive parent... Don't be too hard on your mom...

45- Ever caught yourself speeding??? Lawbreaker!

I'm a legal marijuana medical user. I'm 17. Yes there are negative effects, but long term it helped with my cancer, anxiety, insomnia, troubles getting hungry, nausea, muscle pains from my car accident. My mother was heavily influenced by marijuana (she was a hippie). She smoked it with me on her lap and so did my father. Nothing ever happened to my body till about age 4/5 due to my uncle making ecstasy in the bathroom. Now THAT is dangerous and bad to expose children to.

the only negative things about weed are the forgetfulness and it being illegal. btw I taught myself calculus while smoking weed(and retained the info)

Actually, no. Four miles above or below isn't speeding/going too slow so no, I don't think I have ever 'caught' myself speeding. I don't have some urge to break laws for just any reason.

Accually yes 4 miles above is speeding that why the sign says "max" and you can get a ticket for it. Btw you live in the US so if you've ever had sex that was not "consentual, heterosexual intercourse between 2 maried adults" then ur a lawbreakers those laws are still on the federal books

No wonder the scent is 'comforting'.

Your username is very fitting, I couldn't have said it better myself, OP

FYI for u dumb people there is no scientific or medical research that says that weed is addicting just throwing that out there

Actually a study shows that 10-30% of users will become addicted to it when smoked on a regular basis.... Just sayin, you know, for all the dumb people.

So is pretty much everything else enjoyable in life. I don't mean that as in drugs, but things like video games or driving etc.

Perhaps you should re-read the scientific journals. 5sec on google should about do it. Or go visit the library. There's lot of stuff out there that shows it is psychologically addicting. Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-pot at all. I think it's ludicrous that MJ is illegal while alcohol and tobacco are legal. Either make them all illegal or make them all legal. The tobacco companies already have marketing stuff ready and waiting for the day. The cannabis plant and its hemp cousin have lots of useful applications.

Actually, the numbers are much lower. Five percent become dependent at best. This is because they are the types of people who are more likely to abuse a substance anyway.

And those usefull applications are why it is illegal. Alcohol companies think it will cut in to there profit. Paper companies realise it's cheaper to make paper with hemp then with wood and big drug companies can't patent it.

Just because Aunt Mary use to babysit you once in a while, doesn't make you a bad seed, if I may be blunt.
