I got caught last night, i need

to find a good website with an article on marijuana to show my mom it doesnt kill neurons in the brain or w.e she said (atleast i dont think it does)

 

Go on google... You'll find all sorts of articles disputing myths about our wonderful freind mary jane. Heres one that looked pretty legit

http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/news/20030701/heavy-marijuana-use-doesnt-damage-brain

 

go to norml.com or norml.org(same wbsite but she might find an org better that a com) they have some good marijuana facts from medical journals

 

lol. neuron depletion.

ask her how many brain cells are killed when she pounds back the Bordeaux.

 

lol

 

Oh and here you go, very legit source.

http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_faq1.shtml#3-3

 

k tx guys ill use these and look for more

i really wanna prove to my mom its not as bad as she thinks

 

erowid.org is the best drug information website.

 

yeah, definitely show her the hole erowid cannabis faq, it should have her mind changed if she is pretty open minded

 

my mom just told me she wants to send me to a drug rehab place

 

can i even go there for marijuana?

 

Tell her she's a fucking lunatic. If you are really 17, move out as soon as you turn 18.

 

oh dont wry i am, but that wont be till next year

and i already told her shes crazy for wanting to put me there for MJ

 

Your mom will not be convinced by facts, because admitting she is wrong will make her feel she is losing her authority. My advice is to insist on a program you BOTH have to go through. Does she drink AT ALL? Does she take any mind altering substances, like anti-depressants or valium? Has she ever given YOU mind altering substances like sympathomimetics (ritalin, etc...)? Try offering to lay off the 420 if she will make a pact with you not to drink a drop or take any other mind altering substances. If she refuses, you have a right to question how serious she is. This will encourage her to make some changes for the same reason she is currently unable to change.

If she is totally clean, or even worse, a recovering addict, you are fucked. If anything defines an addict, it is an inability to do anything in moderation. Either way, you have a tough situation on your hands. How are your grades? Bad? Good? Are you using the 420 responsibly? Good things to think about.

I have to re-emphasize: this has nothing to do with science. You are dealing with a social issue and unfortunately you are doing so from a weaker position. Think outside the box.

 

Thank for putting that in writing thats exactly what ive been thinking... Think about someone trying to change your mind about drugs saying they were bad... You wouldnt just stop and not do them anymore just because of a website. Unless you parents are very open minded dont even try this or it makes it look worse

 

shes not an alchoholic
she doesnt take pills

i have A's and B's

I do all the shit im suppose to do

and i told her id stop but she doesnt believe me so i dunno... shes prolly gna drug test me again aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it sucked enough when they tested me last time

 

i was gna tell her that if i were an addict and she drug tested me and made me stop pot then id try cocain and heavier shit, but if i do that im scared shell freak out and send me to rehab lol

 

but does she have *any* drinks? ever?

Ask what her definition of a drug problem is. Is a drug problem just taking drugs? Or is a drug problem when drugs interfere with one's goals and family life? Is there a responsible way to take in alcohol? Opiates? Morphine? Heroin? Pot? Are they all the same? Are they all different? Why or why not? It doesn't sound like you are having a rational discussion. What does she expect you to do after you are 18 if you don't learn early on how to use responsibly? How would rehab affect your life? Would it be a positive thing?

Whatever you do, you are going to have to work with her if you don't want the next year to suck ass. She is going to have to work with you too. But you gotta understand she is not crazy. She is pretty normal and concerned about you and also what others think of you and her too. At your stage in life, your brain is craving new and exciting experiences, but hers is craving security. Try to be objective about yourself and her too, without trying to deconstruct her. Hard, i know, because neither of you are naturally inclined to deal with this situation well. That's why you are in conflict.

I smoked up since I was 16 and I am very successful, but that isn't everyone. Then again, I don't know of anyone who was well adjusted and successful that started smoking and suddenly lost it all.

 

I'm thinking threats are a bad idea.

This isn't exactly good advice, but everytime I got caught my mom would be hysterical so I'd lie and say I'd stop. And about two weeks later I'd start up again.

Eventually I learned how not to get caught.

 

wow that really sucks bro... i was thinking of what you were doing and realized that if your parents likely are not convinced by it then you are fucked because they know you have no intention to quit and they will make life hell.
