My Mom smoked with me on my wedding day, some 40 years ago. Sadly, it didn't "take". She kept on boozing. Pot only got her "mildly tranquilized" (and it was good Columbian). She died an alcohol related suicide about 20 years ago. I miss her still, even though she was a bipolar and bitchy at times. Glad your stories are happier. - Granny
