Now, I, myself, do not take part of the devil\u2019s lettuce so I can\u2019t say this has ever happened to me and as you may know I pretend to be French when it suits me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, according to my research (aka typing some jargon into Google and scanning the first result), whacky tobacky is illegal in France so, keep that in mind. One thing that should be taken into account is your age, if it\u2019s legal for you, in our wonderful state, to partake of laganja estranja I don\u2019t see a reason they should be mad at you. Also, at the age of 21 you are legally an adult (even if, like myself, you don\u2019t feel like it) so, maybe politely bring that up. But, if you are still heavily reliant on them I wouldn\u2019t do it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As long as you can balance your own financial stuff and don\u2019t have to start working at the Spearmint Rhino to pay for school, you should be fine. Be mature and that\u2019ll get you through! Good luck, dear!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Esmeralda<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact Esmeralda Dharma LaChance on Twitter @miss_ezi or find her on Facebook with your questions on love and life!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Esmeralda, My parents showed up unannounced at my apartment the other day.
