*Summary*

My mom found out i smoke weed, her only solid argument was that its illegal. Discuss.

Just got home from the gym and i went into the kitchen to fix me up a protein shake and she stands there, hands on her hips, pokes me in the chest and gives me this look....and i at first thought it was about the 12 pack in my closet, but then she says "So how long have you been smoking pot?"

naturally im like //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

"what makes you think i smoke pot?"

"the pipe in your medicine cabinet..." (oh snap, she found Jenny)

"why were you going through my medicine cabinet?"

"i was looking for a light bulb..."

"why would there be a light bulb im my medicine cabinet?" (pwnt!)

"just answer my question! how long have you been smoking?"

i just decide to be (mostly) honest about it. "awhile..." i say...

"how long is awhile?"

"i dunno...." (almost 2 years)

"how often do you do it?"

"once every two weeks or so..." (more like once or twice every week)

she goes on to ask if i've been doin meth, heroin, coke and i say no while trying to hold back my laughter. then she brings up how i'm so into being healthy, and how its like im washing and waxing my car then driving it into the mud. i tell her how she's into being healthy too but she smokes. "thats because im a nervous wreck about my drinking pot smoking son!" to which i reply "well its not like i've been drinkin and smokin my whole life..."

then she brings up the typical arguments about marijuana...

"i dont want it to ruin your life!"

"look at me, is my life being ruined right now? im a full time student, i got 3.8 gpa last semester, i have a 4.0 right now, i work 30+ hours a week, and i go to the gym 4 days a week..."

"is there pot in this house?"

"no, i don't buy pot"

"who buys it?"

"my friends..."

"what friends?"

"the friends that i have..."

"so are you doing it because everyone else is?"

"no..."

"so why do you do it?"

"because i enjoy it."

"you enjoy it, is that why?" (uh, yeah!)

"why does anyone do anything?"

I stayed calm and didn't raise my voice, talked about it as maturely as possible.anyways, basically her only solid argument is that its illegal. anything else she came up with i basically shut down.

Discuss!

The only way to win an argument on illegal substances is to say that it's your choice and your comfortable with the responsibilities; the opposite party will always come back to the illegality.

There are more positives to marijuana use than there are negatives but it is hard to win a disagreement related to it.

My parents have never really cared. Ive smoke with my mom and dad, they let me smoke in the house in my room and dont care as long as Im responsible with the shit Im doing lol. Needless to say I dont really even smoke it that much anymore, just on the occasion I guess. Dont feel a need to waste my time with it since I got so much other shit to do all the time.

i remember when i was 15... i got a page from my mom.. yeah i'm old enough to have carried a beeper.. anyways she said to come home.. so i did...

when i got there she had all these gram bags on the kitchen table.. like 30 of them.

She wanted to know what the deal was... i told her that the first clue should have been that she had to page me to come home..

good times.

Sounds like your mom was pretty chill about it instead of freaking out.
