in need of a valid point why pot is okay

1) If you want to hide the smell of a pipe, take a sock and put some dryer fabric softener sheets in it. Next, take another sock and put your pipe/weed in it and put that sock in the one with the dryer sheets in it. This blocks the smell pretty well and you can hide it in a sock drawer. If your mom checks your drawers, you could create a hollow compartment in a dictionary. That hides it and blocks the smell pretty well too.
2) If you're worried about the smell of the smoke, just make a sploof to blow the smoke through and spray some air freshener.
3) Tell your mom that weed isn't addictive, it doesn't cause brain damage, and it has not killed a single person EVER, so it is really less harmful than alcohol.

 

You should be maintaining a steady successful life even if you're smoking pot, if you are then there's your point right there. If you're not, your mom might be right.

 

This is exactly right. You can throw out any statistic you like, but if you don't have your shit together that is all she will see. Sometimes I see posts here on GC where people act tough and pride themselves on disrespectful stupid behavior. Actions like that just reinforce the negative stereotypes prohibitionists have. By leading a productive life and being a decent and respectful person you'll find you have a lot more credibility with her and only then will she be open to reason. Note, I'm not saying you are a punk, just commenting on what doesn't work, for all I know you could have a 4.0 GPA and help little old ladies across the street.

Also, I would try to find out what part of it concerns her the most. For a lot of parents, the major worry isn't that cannabis is dangerous, but rather it's the danger or arrest and having a record that will follow you and close doors. Once you know what her concerns are you'll be in a much better position to address them, and that will be far more effective than quoting statistics or having her watch The Union. The Union is a great film, and speaks to the wider issue of cannabis prohibition quite well, but if it doesn't touch on the things that concern her it won't be effective. Putting a kid in front of the tv is lazy parenting, and putting your mom in front of a tv is lazy advocacy for something you probably believe in quite deeply.

 

this times six hundred billion if anything dude it will certainly change her view on medical marijuana
