    I know this has probably been posted before, so sorry ahead of time!

    So, earlier today my mom found out I smoked. We started talking about mary and she asked me if I have ever tried it..I have always been straight up with my mom so I just told her. She wasn't really angry and i'm not in bad standing with her at the moment, but I don't think she agrees with my views on weed. She really only fears two main things; she doesn't want me to become a "loser" (you know, the stereotypical stoner i.e. no inhibitions, loss of drive to become successful...whatever) and she doesn't want me to do anything stupid and get myself in trouble or hurt.

    Now, I have always had good grades and done well in school. I have a 4.0 gpa. It should be higher but I fucked that up a little. Anyways, I never smoke when I have more important priorities and she knows that. I work my ass off in school and I do it for myself. She expects me to do well, but she doesn't really force me. So, I could probably just tell her that when she says that she doesn't want me to fuck my life up over weed. Now here is where i'm confused and pretty shocked actually. She worries about my safety like any mother would, so her first thing that she jumped on when I told her I smoked was that she didn't approve because it wasn't "safe". Of course, like any smoker would, I told her the whole "no one has ever died from it." and "it's not nearly as dangerous as say drinking." (my parents still drink and did alot in college) but what she came back to say is that she is worried that I might get bud that is laced. I told her that weed is rarely ever laced, and that she shouldn't really worry about that. She then told me about how one of her friends got weed that was laced with PCP, but her story sounded more like her friend was just really blazed:smoke: despite the fact that she claims that she talked to the guy that sold to her friend, who said he did lace it. But I did kinda blow it off. When I got back to my house, I was sitting at the dinner table and she brought me an article from today's paper about someone from my highschool that was recently killed by a herion overdose. She then reads through the article and near the end it says that he started herion because he was smoking marijuana that was laced with herion at local parties:eek:. Now I live in a pretty rich area of my town so I have never heard if this ever happening, but the newspaper is claiming that it is common in our area for it to be laced with herion:(. Calling bullshit, or could this be legitimate?

    tl;dr - My mom found out I smoke. She doesn't want me smoking. Her reasons are that she worries about my safety and she doesn't want me to become a dropout. She thinks weed is commonly laced with hard drugs.

    So, my question is what should I tell her to change her views on the ganja? and what should I tell her to counterargue the whole laced bullshit, and the "weed will make you a loser" stereotype?

    Just tell her you don't smoke laced weed.

    Well, if that article tells the truth, then she probably won't ever drop it. Really, the only thing you can do is lie and say you get it from a really close friend, and it would never be laced.

    If you don't want to lie, I don't really think there is anything you can do to stop her worries.

    You could just put some bleach on some marijuana, and tell her that this is laced marijuana. Then show her some normal bud, and tell her that there is no way that you could make the mistake.

    Is there anyway to really tell if your weed is laced? She might be a little more alright with it if I tell her that I take the necessary precautions to make sure I don't have laced shit.

    If she trusts your judgment, just tell her that you've done research (do the research first) and have weighed the risks of cannabis against things like alcohol, and found it to be much safer and healthier.
    Also if you educate yourself on the plant, you can tell whether the product you get is tainted in any way, and stay away from it.

    You need a relationship of trust and two way respect for this to really work, but I think it's the best way to go about it

    if it does more than just cherry/ light when u put a flame to it, IE Very unusual sounds, colors of ember that arent a red-orange ember color, if it has anything other than kief/ trichomes/ pistils/ leaves/ buds/ seeds(if shit)/ stems etc. If its dripping wet, not to confuse with very sticky, and if you get any non-marijuana effects. You can tell if it is or not pretty easy.

    Just don't talk like this: "Yo man I just gawt some crazy ass dank fire bud mutha fucka, let's go get fucked up!"

    Always talk about weed in a sophisticated way, I think it definitely helps for parents. To be honest, I am super jealous that your mom was so chill on the subject, my mom was very harsh on the subject, and I am forbidden to smoke weed. Without her finding out, I have continued to smoke because I think that everyone should be able to pick their own path in life. I have my path plotted out already, so I wish my mom would just let me be. Oh well, life goes on.

    Interesting note on getting caught smoking: My first time I got caught, I was literally under house arrest by my mom for five weeks. I would rather not go into the shitstorm that preceded, so let's move onto the next fact.

    Though my first time getting caught awarded me with a five week, hell punishment, my second time only got me bitched at for a day. So, if we extrapolate these results, I conclude that, if I were to hypothetically get caught, my punishment would be less severe than a one day argument.

    These results may not be consistent in everyone's parents.

    I'm spittin' blocks of text and I am not even high yet...

    Tell her you'll grow your own plants instead
     
  10. #10 magicman8, Oct 18, 2011
    Tell her that if she lets you grow one plant you will only smoke that so she will know it's not laced :D

    Show her the numerous studies done on weed by scientists from Harvard and other prestigious institutions. Also, ask her how can weed be possibly bad when it is used as medicine (most medicines are not entirely bad, and MJ neither)?

    Yeah definatley very subjective(objective?) to the persons own situation, for example when i got caught, it was my mom accusing me of smoking crack cause she found tin foil and a lighter in my jeans hahah. I was using it to make pieces at the time cause i couldnt afford a pipe AnD weed. I basically said what no? Im with my friends buying weed. She said oh okay well, dont smoke it in ur room, and if u ever smoke crack ill kill u then she hung up. I proceeded to smoke with 2 friends and my mom when we got home that night :smoking: My friend who just got caught, their parents now accuse him every day of being high.

    for OP So it all depends on how set in her ways she is, be professional, and non-flaming about it, and show her the truth. in the end as long as you dont bring it in their house, they dont have much say in weather or not u do it. thats assuming ur 18+ P&P!

    If only.. she doesn't like the whole illegal aspect of it all either, but before she found out that I HAVE actually smoked, she said. "I know you are going to smoke pot sometime..just don't be stupid about it and don't get caught." I didn't want her to know so I kept a straight face, but immediately when she turned away I was like :D:hello::smoke:
     
  14. #14 TaltTokesToo, Oct 18, 2011
    Naw tell her to let u grow 10 so u can smoke un laced weed, and give ur stoner friends free, un laced weed too :D

    Heroine = $60 a g
    Weed = <= $20 a g
    Why would you waste money to lace a cheap drug with an expensive drug?
