I do agree about respecting parents wishes if you're living rent-free at home,
Maybe setting mom straight means explaining the specific law and punshishment for your state or country. Stiff penalties in some places, not in others. Thank the gods for California.
After just duking it out, my parents finally realized that cannabis is not bad. I counter every arugument they had against it with truth. Now they just say its illegal; I then said it was ILLEGAL to grow cannabis during the 1700-1800s if you had land, so that proved laws mean really nothing.
They took me to drug tests, thinking that since it's a "gateway" drug, that I had taken other HARD drugs, and was now a helpless addict. Only thing that came up was a small amount of cannabis, which proved that I was not smoking it every day, because that is what they thought since I had a ROOR bong and nearly an ounce of bud when they found my stash lol. So I provbed to them that I only smoked on occasion when I really had free time, and mainly money lol...Being broke is my "anti" drug :D
Anyways I think I am in the clear, because they got my grades, there good, so my rents are happy.
To show how ignorant, and how warped my mom is from christian beliefs, I came home from school one day, and I had just learned alot of info about how our universe works because my physics teacher taught us about Quantum Mechanics and some Relativity. I told my mom all the things I had learned, and she just said "Well thats your opinion about how the universe works, so it is not true, just opinion." I stated to her that the math in Quantum Mechanics does not lie, just like how 2+2 will always equal 4. She then stated that cannabis had warped my mind into not believing in god...
I could not believe how stupid my mom was from that comment she said, and I really dont respect her opinion about things anymore. Cannabis has helped me find god more then before I smoked, and cannabis has made me smarter, and more calmer, and more understanding of issues. Before I smoked, I was a little shit of a kid, who never respected anyone or anything, but cannabis has opened me up to soooooo many ideas and concepts about everything.
So the final conlusion, I can do what I want when I'm 18, so in a couple of months, I can smoke away, because my mom realized that she cannot change my opinion about anything. I still have a good relationship with my mom, but a not-so good relationship with my dad, because he is a raging asshole.
Thanks again for the support and advice.
Glad to hear everything turned out okay, man. If you're an adult in a few months there's nothing your parents can do and they'll have to accept it. And you're absolutely right about weed making you smarter and more enlightened. Smoke on, brother.
just tell her, god is your opinion, so it is not true, just opinion.Quote:

This might be of interest to you, this is a psychological explanation for you mothers behaviour. If you agree, you can use this to help change her mind on this type of thing.
Here is a simple situation:
A child believes he is smart
He studies for a test and takes the test
When he gets the test he didn’t do well.
He has two choices
1) change his belief. So he is actually dumb
2) lower the relevance of the information. Say the test was too hard, didn’t study enough
this is locus of control. It’s not really related.
Its sort of a little formula::
You have a belief,
You are acquire new information which contradicts the belief
so
You either modify your belief to accommodate the new info. Or you discredit the info and maintain the belief
In your mothers case she is discrediting the information by calling it an opinion.
She is wrong, you know this, I know this, Einstein knows this.
Some people know they do this. But they don’t care, they prefer to keep their incorrect beliefs. I don’t know why it’s probably because they are so attached to them
. It’s sort of a mentality. people ushally call it open or closed minded
Wow, I am seriosuly impressed you convinced someone who doesn't believe in dinosaurs (lmao) [well I guess you didn't say that, but she doesn't believe in evolution, therefore likely believes adam&eve were the first humans, and if they didn't see dinosaurs... etc...] anything. I can't believe you have a good relationship with her, I try to love everybody, but I just can't touch ignorant people like that. I mean, that's just insane. Well atleast you 1) didn't have the cops called on you [I know kids who have had this happen to them] 2) Still have a decent relationship with atleast some of your family.Quote:

It's quite hilarious actually.
"Mom, I realize that I am underage and that I am living under your roof, so I will abide by your request that I not smoke cannabis while I am living in your home. That being said, I think that you should know the facts about cannabis, and make your own decision about it." (Then, present your facts.)
And then, don't smoke. Maybe you can ask permission to smoke on special occasions or events, or maybe your dad would let you when your mom is out of town. But I wouldn't go behind their backs, cause if you get caught again you will get in REAL trouble cause you broke a promise.
Here is a book that I highly recommend, and if your mom has a college level science vocabulary, I would have her read the chapter on cannabis:
