writes:My boyfriend smokes weed and is open about it, I have been with him for a few years now. I only smoke every now and again My sister has called me all sorts of names daily such as stoner, etc...if I question anything anyone says or say anything she just says "wow your so paranoid", or "what's wrong with you, are you paranoid again". If I tell her to stop taunting me she will say "stop being paranoid". Infront of my whole family my mom says to me" did you see on this site there are grow house for sale for people who want to grow weed". I know they are doing this out of badness because they are not open about having discussions, and are prudes. Its like I can't escape??? If I fight back, I am put down more and seen as crazy. I feel so smallWhat would you do???

 Your family are taunting you because what your boyfriend does and what you sometimes do is illegal. They bring up paranoia because that is what weed does to you. It is your choice if you want to break the law, but that does not make your family prudes. If it was me I wouldn't break the law and that would be the end of that.

 As I am sure you know, weed is illegal in Ireland- everything, possession, sale, use , distribution. The law works basically on a 3 strikes system, third offence and you are hauled to court and jailed.
Note I am not saying this is right or wrong, or that this should or should not change.
I am telling what it IS.
So, your demanding respect for your bf's habits is a bit like demanding respect for a thief boyfriend. He may have his good reasons, and you may think that what he does is not so bad all considered , but other people do not OWE you their support and understanding. And being your close relatives, it is understandable, although maybe not very politically correct, that they express verbally to you their disapproval.
