Need Advice..

Basically it depends upon how serious you think she is with the testing threat and how bad she will freak if she catches you. Weigh the risk against the reward.
Why dont you chill it for a bit, then bring up the discussion and tell her you intend to smoke on occassion socially and not be red eyed every day because you respect her wishes and her need to be convinced that you can handle smking without going overboard. Start small and as she gains respect and trust and you gain control over your urges to smoke daily you can both have a new perspective.
In my opinion at your age there are many many more things to be concerned about and focus upon daily than smoking weed. Get to know who you are before altering your consciousness daily.
Nothing wrong with daily smoking if it is more than just giggles and escape time. Youre building the foundation for your future daily. Maybe its best not to build it on weed. Moderation will go a long way to educate both of you.

peace.

I just wanted to add, I was in your position once upon a time.
I chose the wrong route...I kept right on being a stoner daily and it hurt my relationship with my mother, and my younger sister. I learned a lot through the process of rebuilding my relationships and trust. The hardest part was not having the open support I needed as a growing teen facing all the challenges you face as a teen, simply because I destroyed the trust and convinced her that it was weed that did it to me.
So we became almost enemies for a while and it was easy to stray from my path without that support and guidance.

peace.

I'm about old enough to be your granny and I work in education. Your Mom is worried about all the stuff she's hears over the years about how pot can mess up your life. You are going to have an uphill battle about pot with her. I just wanted to give you a little ammunition. There was a scientific studdy that showed that MODERATE pot use is good for your IQ! This is just the abstract (summary) of the study, but it puts it in no uncertain terms that smoking less that 5 joints a week raises your IQ the most! Smoking MORE than 5 joints a week, however is bad for your IQ! http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/abstract/166/7/887
Nor does it mess up your hormones. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/q...564&query_hl=1
Or mess up your memory forever (stoned, yeah, your memory's shot, but straight, it will still work fine) http://marijuana.researchtoday.net/archive/3/3664.htm
Or give you cancer like tobacco. (In fact, there is a lot of evidence that pot kills cancer cells- if you're interested, just google- cannabis abstract cancer)

I would strongly suggest that you be honest with your mom and tell her that you will keep your use moderate, and not drive (or be driven by friends who are) stoned. That you will keep your grades up (a big thing!) and act like a responsible person. Keeping your act together can go a long way in convincing her. And for your health's sake, I strongly suggest a vaporizer (Vapor Brother's is a good one -about $150). You use 1/2 the pot, your lungs will stay clear and what's left over can go into brownies). Armed with these studies, I think you can argue your case for responsible use. Good luck!

Okay, five days ago my mom found out ive been smoking for 6 months, was really upset and went through the whole trust thing. she didnt ground me or punish me but she said she doesnt want me smoke anymore.she said she has a drug test and if she ever thinks ive been smoking (she really does have it) she'll test me. i planned to just not smoke for a while but now i really wanna and i dont know what i should do. any advice?

it sounds like you have a great mom who respects you. the last thing i'd want to do if i were in your shoes would be to lose that respect and trust (which always goes hand-in-hand). i'd chill for a bit and not leave anything around for her to find, including net sites. be sure to clear your history after visiting here and any other sites involving illegal activities and even go so far as bookmarking sites that would help in your classes or just expanding knwoledge in general (other than drugs...hehehe). keep your grades up and cause no probs at school and she'll chill on you too...at least enough so she's not so hot on cannabis.

respect is a two-way street and can only be earned...
