so today, my mom came up to me, and basically told me that she knew i smoked weed. and she wasn't quite mad, just more disappointed that i had decided to take that road. she left me wondering how she actually felt about it, and i can't tell if shes angry or just upset.

do you think i should have a conversation with her and tell her that i smoke infrequently (like once a week) and responsibly, and that it isn't getting in the way of schoolwork?

i know she smoked a lot when she was in high school, and i just want her to accept it as something that i like to do. but i dont know if she will be open about it.

any suggestions? past, similar experiences would be great

At least you can't OD on it.
Honestly weed isn't THAT bad

Cannabis doesn't cause cancer or kill brain cells.

It could be a good idea to talk to her about it. Explain why you aren't worried by your habits, and if you don't know how she feels ask. The fact that she brought it up calmly means that she's able to talk to you about it on an honesty and sane level, so you don't have much to lose by working out where you both stand in regards to your smoking.

You could try and talk to her, but it won't hurt to SHOW her.

You just need to be blunt and upfront about your smoking habits. Everyone in my family knows about my smoking habits, and I've found that when I was doing it and keeping it quite my parents got really worried. Just talk to her, and tell her that it isn't affecting your life.. and show her its not effecting your life.

Well I had a past experience like this, except a few differences.

I had come home from getting high, changed my shirt and stuff when my dad came into my room wanting to talk. I wondered if he wanted to bust me but then again he just wanted to tell me how glad he was to have a son like me and basically lather me with praise and talk about how he tells all his friends about his son, his responsible, never do wrong son. I was in fucking tears after he said all that, just sitting there, crying. He left the room before he saw me crying though, and right there I realized I should stop. I stopped, and told him about it, and we talked. He was mad, but he was glad I talked to him like a man about it


in short, talk to your mom about it, you're still her son/daughter (don't know anonymous) so i'm sure she'll be willing to listen
