Telling your Indian parents you smoke pot is probably 50 times harder than telling your Western parents you smoke pot. In the West, it wouldn't really be a big deal, whereas over there it's probably more along the lines of, "how could you possibly do this to the family, after everything we've done for you?"
Just saying...
Yes that does make it harder.
Its odd though, i drink occasionaly, my mother knows, i told her, she has always taken it rather well, but my Dad, who drinks occasionaly, and smokes occasionally, and must have smoked pot in his own college time, (i once heard a few of his classmates talking about it) seemed to be pretty on edge.
I am not going to see my parents till monday and that waiting for the axe to fall is hard. Thanks for the replies guys, this makes it a lot easier.
