Scared of my parents finding out I smoke weed?

Question

I have been smoking weed for the last year now. I'm not a heavy smoker, maybe once every two months, but that doesn't make it any more legal. Or me any less paranoid. The only times I smoke would be when my parents are out of town for a few days or something. The only people who know I smoke are my two older brothers, but they've long since moved out. My folks are gone to visit a friend in another city and won't be back until tomorrow, they've been gone since Thursday. 

 So. I went outside on our patio for a smoke this afternoon and another after dinner this evening. I took the clothes I was wearing while I smoked and put them in the washer, and disposed of my joint by putting it out and throwing it over the fence of our yard. This next bit is exactly why I'm going to quit smoking as of now. 

 I know they're coming home tomorrow, so I'm pretty paranoid. I'm afraid the smell won't come off my clothes. I'm afraid maybe the smell of the smoke got into the house. Then I'm afraid it'll still linger outside the door. I've never been caught yet, but I think they may suspect it. 

My parents don't know two of their three kids smoke weed, but they're strictly anti-drug. All three of us have a good relationship with them, so I know they'd flip if they found out.
 Am I being too paranoid?

Errrrr no, washing your clothes will get rid of the smell, I'd be more worried about your neighbor getting sick of you throwing your used joints over the fence and talking to your parents about it.

The simplest solution would be to simply stop smoking weed. I'm a tolerant parent and not one to go into crisis mode over small things, but I would also be upset about marijuana use even infrequently. You can get arrested for having possession of it once. It's an unnecessary risk.

What are you gaining from smoking weed vs. what you're losing from being paranoid and afraid of your parents finding out? Doesn't sound like the pros outweigh the cons.

hhahah I can tell you dont smoke often cause you are hella paranoid. I accidentally thumps uped Mayay he should have 3 thumbs down weed smell inside does not go away fast at all and if you smoke in your room your parents will notice, unless you take serious precautions. You, however, smoked outside so you are good. Also the smell does not really stay on your clothes so you would have been fine even if you didnt wash them

if you were outside than the smell is gone. even if the windows were open and the smoke got inside it would be gone by now. also weed smell doesn't get in your clothes unless you smoke in a car with the windows up. i have smoked in my room and blew smoke out the window and the smell goes away within 15 mins. weed smoke doesn't last long anyways. so you are defiantly going to be fine now.

who cares, I found out my mom smokes weed. Chill the **** out. God these kids are so brainwashed by this ******** war on drugs with paranoid **** like "marijuana will kill you dead". Chill the **** out and get on with your life. Just talk it over and they will probably tell you the same thing. Weed is becoming more widely accepted in society and that is a good thing. It is harmless and is good for people with sickness, stress, and cancer. Calm your **** for ***** sake
