changing my mom's mind?

Discussion in 'Real Life Stories' started by Ichi, Oct 19, 2012.

  1. Hey guys. So, long story short mi madre is completely anti-herb. My dad smoked weed and moved onto harder drugs cause he's a dumb fuck, so she thinks the same thing will happen to me. She's already caught me once, but i've been thinking about trying to explain to her that marijuana isn't harmful and she shouldn't believe the bullshit propaganda that she was brought up on.

    So, anyone in a similar situation or have any advice? I was thinking of showing her The Union and some other stuff I had in mind.
     
  2. Most likely u wont change her mind. Just keep hiding if u have too.

    The Union was good but even i thought it was a little biased.
     
  3. Give her a Granny shot. Like this; :smoke:
