I Told My Mom I Smoke Marijuana, What Can I Do To Make Her Understand?

Discussion in 'Real Life Stories' started by LB9870, Jun 19, 2014.

  1. Ok so just as a little background first, my mom has talked about smoking back when she was younger and i have even heard her talk about doing mushrooms once, I also have two older brothers that started smoking wen they were 14, only one of them still smoke to this day. The one that smokes still lives at home with me and my mom and it isn't that she is ok with him smoking its just that she doesn't care kind of thing. 
     
    OK so onto me I have a form of muscular dystrophy (smoking does help relax my muscles), and I am the baby of the family. I'm about to turn 21 and I started smoking at 16 and just last week I finally told her that i smoke and she has completely freaked out. She has repeatedly told me she doesn't want to see me do it, which is fine with me, but she keeps getting mad about it, she has told me several times that she can't trust me now that she knows i have lied to her for the last 5 years, she has said her heart is broken and she has gone on about how me smoking pot is different form how she smoked pot back in the day. But in the end she will not just sit down and have a civil conversation about it, she either tells me she doesn't what to talk about it or she just starts to argue about it. Also on top of this she has been fine with me drinking alcohol since i was around 17, so if she is ok with me braking the law in that aspect then what is the problem with doing this.
     
    I don't know what to do, it makes me feel bad because i have always had a great relationship with my mom but now she is treating me like shit, i don't know what to do.
     
    If anybody has had to deal with something like this and has some advice on what i can do it would be much appreciated.

     
  2. Move out

  3. Try and get her to watch the union with you?
     
  4. Tell her that you have discovered that you have an addictive personality. Meaning that when you get depressed or stressed, you have to run to something for relief. Pot helps you. You dont want anything else but pot. If you don't do pot them maybe (insert something like joining a thug gang in the bad part of town will help). Or perhaps stealing. Or setting fires. Or incest. She will get the message. Pot aint that bad of a thing.
      I caught my son huffing computer cleaner when he was 17. I sat his ass down and said "you wanna get high? Smoke this" and i stuck a joint in his mouth. Him and I had a loonnnng talk about drugs and peer pressure and stuff. We bonded like never before. He is 23 years old now, does not do any drugs anymore, and he is serving in the US army.

    Sounds like my mom, I gave up on her in that regard.
    If she wants be ignorant so be it but you don't have to listen to it if she won't bother to listen to you.
    Take that with a grain of salt, because that very statement got me kicked out.
     
  6. Why don't you just ask politely for her to watch the cannabis documentary "Weeds" by Sanjay Gupta? Also the 2nd one, which shows that the government themselves has a patent on cannabis as a medicine. I was going to say I could make a youtube video of everything I know, but it's already been done time & time again. Just browse youtube for one that is easy to understand, has quite a few FACTS, and no matter what, keep your cool. Staying calm and not trying to shove information down someone else's throat is the best way to try to get another person to understand why you feel the way you do. If she can't accept that you consume cannabis both as a way to relax (like she sees people do with alcohol) and as a form of medicine to relieve you of pain from your muscular dystrophy, then there really isn't anything more you can do. By this stage in her life, she may just refuse to accept anything different than what she's been conditioned to believe through most of her life, even if she did 'experiment' earlier in her youth. As a parent, I also understand why she'd be concerned if she doesn't fully understand how cannabis works. Do some reading on the human endocannabinoid system as well. Never hurts to have a better understanding of things you enjoy! Being able to back up your stance with facts and other information is far more useful than just saying "at least I'm not doing (insert unmentionable here)".
     
    Anyway, good luck. Hope she at least decides to watch both Dr. Gupta documentaries. Her first instinct is to protect you. If you can show her that cannabis itself isn't going to control you, harm you, etc., maybe she'll get to a stage where she's fine with consumption outside. Also, moving out would be an option you should consider.

    Pie nailed it! The Union is fine, but it is much too easily dismissed as "hippie propaganda"! On the other hand,  Dr Gupta is a well-known brain surgeon, was nominated for Surgeon General, and has great name recognition due to being on CNN all the time! This all makes him MUCH more believable to the average parent!
     
    I put together this group of articles to help out the kids who get caught or tell their parents that they use- read through them and pick the best ones. You know Mom the best!

    Since you have MS, some medical studies may also help!  These are the most recent studies and articles from my "Granny Storm Crow's List" (to get the full List, all 1,400 + pages of it, just PM me your email address, or you can check out the bottom of my sig for my email and request it. The List is FREE for the asking and can also be found on Facebook!) Again, you should go through and pick what you think will work best with Mom! I suggest that you start with the news articles, then the abstracts  and finally the full studies (usually by the time you finish reading the abstract of a study, you will know whether it will work in helping to convince her. )

    FYI, Sativex is banned in the US, but perfectly legal as a prescribed treatment for MS in Canada and much of Europe!  (We are rapidly falling behind in medicine!) To make Sativex at home you need a strain of cannabis that has a roughly 50/50 ratio of THC to CBD. Then all you need is a glass jar (preferably dark glass), some high proof vodka, and a bit of mint extract. You make a tincture (run "make tincture" through GC's search function) add a couple drops of  mint extract and put it in a spray bottle!  GW/Bayer sells their Sativex for over $100 per spray bottle- 51 sprays (GW/Bayer also adds a tad of propylene glycol /antifreeze to their Sativex  :eek: )  DIY is FAR more economical and I think we can skip the anti-freeze!
     
    Run a search for Canadian and UK MS Societies- they have scads of info on Sativex! The difference between using an oral spray like Sativex and smoking is just the method of delivery and the speed that you feel the effects (smoking/vaping is faster than an oral spray!).  Cannabis is a recognized medicine for MS- just not in the US! You shouldn't be denied use of an EFFECTIVE, safe herbal medicine just because our government has its head stuck in the 1930s!
     
    Hope that helps!

  16. Ok thats funny it made me laugh. But please, this is serious. If you make a joke like that, then write "ha ha J/K. Seriously though....." and then continue to write something serious that will help this person. We all really should do our part in changing the old fashioned conservative thinking about cannabis (especially as medicine!). If you can't write anything serious, then thats more f-ed up than me. I know when to troll and i know when to be serious. Please help and thank you!  :) peace.

    Fuck that, he's not even old enough to be here. Kick them around like a toy.
     
  18. He may not be old enough to be here, but he has a right to his voice. I don't really advocate for 12 or 13 year olds to start smoking because I have read that it stunts brain growth or something. Hell, I started smokin this stuff 4 months after my 13th birthday and look at how fucked up I am. 
     
     Anyway, I was just hoppin on the liberal bus for cannabis legaization. We all have to do our part. Thank you snoopdog6502 for your reply.
