Should I just Quit?

"[quote name='LetsGetLiftedyo']So I've been smoking for quiet a while and ofcoure I really enjoy it but my life has started to really suck since My mom caught me and I don't know what to do...

I live at home under my moms roof and we constantly get into arguements over so much crap and my mom is trying to kick me out but she cant because I'm still in school and I want to move in with my dad just because my depression is really out of control and my mom only makes it worse with fighting me on everything and constantly telling me i need to move out and so much other stuff.

My mom hates me because I smoke and at this point she just doesnt care what happens top me even though I just got a job (I'm waiting for a call after they do my backrpound check which is good) and like last night i got home with my friend and she wouldn't unlock the door and then she called the police on me because she found my weed bubbler and grinder and i didn't go to jail but she tried to get me arrested and its just bullshit.

I've been caught actually smoking one time in front of my mom and i don't think things will work there way out and I don't know what I can do because my dad thinks everything will just fix itself and there is no way it will.

Also I'm talking to a girl who doesn't smoke and i think she would be happy if I quit.

What should I do?

Moving in with a friend is not an option
I'm still in high school, and I have no car.[/QUOTE]

Why is it not?..If you're 18 like you're supposed to be then you are allowed to move out anywhere you please, car or no.

But anyways..No reason to quit unless you want to quit, for you. Or if you feel like you would benefit from not smoking as opposed to smoking.

 

qutting weed isnt going to solve your problems. Its just going to give her one else thing to hate you for.

What you have to realize is that, although your mother probably "loves" you.

she really doesnt like you. And the sooner you get better at dealing with it the better.

My girlfriend is 26, and she had the same problems as you, but there was no weed involved. they just didnt like each other.

Their relationship only just got better after she moved out.
Your life is going to suck for a while, and weed doesnt always help depression.

so just try not to kill yourself, and learn to be a man.

Lifes hard. Attempt to focus on the better points in your life, and try to remember, you'd rather smoke weed, than take something away from your mother to complain about.

Weed isnt important.

 

You should do what you want to do

 

honestly I think your mom probably does some type of drugs. Believe it or not almost all parents know the truth about weed but often scold their children for it because they are worried it might get out of a hand and other drugs might come into play etc.

your mom might be an addict on prescription pills or something else. often you cant tell but from her outburst it seems like she is trying to protect you. She is going to great lengths and she is probably using her own drugs and being even more stressed out. You gotta think why she would do this. If your mom usually (or used to) love you and be nice etc she is just trying to protect you. Usually you can't tell if someone is using something like percocet. From your story she sounds like she uses drugs too and is trying to protect you from what she has been doing.

You should just quit. You're almost 18 or 18 already, so by 18 you can do what you want..

 

Yea Pills like Codein and such make u angry as fuck so she might be taking those.

i know u aint 18 bro so you got plenty of time to make yourself better.

Also smokin the ganja while depressed isnt rly a good idea as it will most likely make it worse.

 

by no means is attempting to get her son arrested an act of love. But you are correct in that his mother is suffering from some underline ailment that isnt being dealt with.

Please pay attention to this. Weed isnt some magical cure all drug.

 

You never know. Like I said, thats an outburst. Most likely under the influence of some drug and believed that was the best action to do according to the situation. You gotta think about the situation. I'll break it down for you.

For some reason, her supplier just ran out. She's having a craving. Her son is out and she is probably overthinking shit thinking he's getting high or whatever, and then she finds the bubbler and the shit just hits the fan and she flips.

Every action has a reason to it, even if it's not obvious.

 

Not only that. You watch some drug addicts. They just snap easy. After years of drug use their body and mind just don't handle stuff the same. They adapt. And guess what no drugs = huge chemical imbalances after years of use. It's funny being on the outside looking in.

 

Exactly. Why would your mom try to call the police on you and fuck up your record? Because she can't score any drugs and she snapped. Then she freaks out thinking you're gonna end up the same as her, then her supplier calls with a reup and when she gets high she forgets all about it. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, and theres both of your lives.

 

Drug addicts often don't realize how they effect others or how their actions look to a normal person. But anyways it is her house and her rules. Either you can respect them, attempt to hide what your doing (but you are taking the risk and you will only have yourself to blame if/when caught), or you can move out. The world can be rough. Get used to it.

 

If you think quiting will solve your problems then by all means quit, life and family is more important then getting high anyday.

Let the ganja be part of your life, dont let it be your life.

 

Why the fuck have you all jumped to the conclusion his mum is a drug addict? It could be anything..

I think you should move in with your Dad, wait till the steam blows over with your Mum and then try to talk to her about it.

 

You are over the age of eighteen. As long as you aren't doing it in their house you do whatever the fuck you want.

 

You sound like ur sloppy when it comes to hiding things. IDK i say quit for a while. If things start getting better then theres ur answer.

 

Yeah we're not saying your mom is a drug addict.. but it sure seems that way.

Obviously, something is bothering her. If it's not drugs, it's relationships, maybe shes depresssed (Depression leads to drug usage, which usually makes the depression worse) you never know. You should ask her about it.

Or just move in with your dad, or go for a walk to smoke instead of smoking in your room with your bubbler.

 

your young so this problem seems like the end of the world . maybe taking a break for a while until u sort things out in your life is probably the best bet . u should never be going into a smoking session thinking " fuck this sucks " or " should i even be doing this ". a clear conscience is always good to have when doin mind altering drugs . maybe you just grew out of it at this point in your life ? maybe it has lost some of it's appeal over time . if it's just your mom and your girlfriend giving u a bad buzz that's not enough reason to quit . u should quit b/c u WANT TO . take a break for a few weeks or months and really work on fixing your problems . at the end of it , u did the best u could , if things work out, awesome ... if not, thats a part of being a man in life. shit gets tough, keep it moving partner ! happy tokin my friend

 

Adderall (amphetamine and dextroamphetamine) is used to treat narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Now whether it helps her condition or not that's another story. What I can tell you is it is similar to meth and know of meth addicts who take them. Also people take them to help them study because its an upper. Which helps explain the mood swings if she wasn't on her med's especially after long term use. But she might always have her med's (not that I'm sure that matters after using it for a long time). Obviously I don't know near as much about it as you and don't mean to offend you but doctor's prescribe some hardcore synthetic drugs all the time. Many times when medicinal marijuana has much less negative effects.

On a side note. If freeing yourself from where you are right now will make you happy then that is what you should do. If you are unhappy there is no reason to force yourself to stay in that situation. Talk to your dad and figure out your options.
