mom going to abandon me cause of weed

You dont think your relationship with your mother is more important than “a few puffs”?

Just remember you have one mom… and friends you have now will come and go, but you have one mom, and when it comes down to it she will the one person that you should always be able to count on. WHY RUIN THAT!!!

You need to think about the fact that Weed is very addicting and can harm your body. Your mom obviously cares for you or she wouldn’t be feeling the way she feels right now. Just quit smoking pot altogether and your mom will be happy. I like what tina said, take a bubble bath since that’s more soothing. So, think about your family and life.

k im not sayin weed or booze benefits people, im just saying everyone here seems to be hooked on the fact that its weed(I.e. “it’s bad because it’s a DRUG, and it’s ILLEGAL” [tina]) if this was an alchol problem I don’t think everyone here would be as severe

Ok, so you like weed and you dont think it will do any harm. But they do. Whether it is an irrational belief or not they think that weed is going to lead you nowhere. So why not just stop? It’s not like you need it right? So if this is really that important to them why not just quit? They’re not asking you to make this huge sacrifice?

but as others have said try difrent forms of relaxation like

-medetation -bubble baths -getting lsot in a compelling novel -listnng to non lyrical music -watching a comedy -hanging out with friends that relax you

or just do somthing to occupie yoursel

dude your mom should be way more valuable than a few puffs. your your mom’s little baby and do you think she would want to lose you that way?

I do but I dont see why they think it is so bad…they automatically think anyone who does weed’ is goign nowhere

look. it no biggie if you smok. yeha and all the people on your a** about it mite care. but your mom cares, moms never want to c there lil baby doing something at the wrong age. and as far as your mom not talking to you like your grandpa, well sorry to say but people do whatever they want no matter what you do to try to stop it. but you can hope that your moms sees that its just a drug and not something worst. weed isnt that hard core. so people should calm down

it’s bad because it’s a DRUG, and it’s ILLEGAL. duh moron. apparently all the weed you’ve smoking has brain your brain from remembering that part huh? who gives a fck if it “soothes” you. go take a fcking bubble bath if you want something soothing, don’t resort to something so stupid. isn’t your family more important than wasting your money on a crap drug?

grow a brain. idiots like you piss me off.

* …they automatically think anyone who does weed’ is goign nowhere

Then prove to them that isn’t true. Show them the statistics of how popular it is among professionals.

tina prety much covered everything… Your mom obviously loves you… Don’t throw it away.

And like tina said… bubble baths are pretty dang soothing:) try it.

whats the big deal about weed its not even that bad. people only think its bad because its banned, it really no worse the booze, but ya these guy are right your mom ought to be more important than smokin up

This is reall bad for you. It makes you unhealthy and will make you die sooner than needed. I know this is a difficult age to get through, trust ME im 14. I think you need to talk to a close friend

It’s obvious that your mom and family have already “seen” the effects of drug addiction, so her fear isn’t an unfounded one. Keep the statistics to yourself, you won’t ever convince them with “numbers”…just drop the pot, and when you’re on your own…you can re-decide if pot is what you really want.

p

PS…tina…I like the way you talk…good job

Well you can get addicted to it, do you want to be braindead? Harsh as it sounds, people go backward after years of taking drugs, you may think ‘pot’ is harmless, but in reality, it stinks, no decent girl would want to go out with a druggie, and its a total waste of time and money.

^^ you’re right, weed IS just as bad as booze. so tell me, when has alcohol ever benefited anyone?

think next time before you say something stupid.

weed isnt a gateway drug first of all weed keeps me away from drugs its my anti-drug sounds like your parents are a little messed up in the head I would never abandon my child no matter what

lol dont listen to what people tell u, its all misleading information you need to do your own research and see for urself

These are some of the comments I have copied from a forum

-pharmaceuticals are known to kill more people than illegal drugs

-marijuana is the number 1 cash crop in the world it serves as a natural medicine and has many other uses thats why they prohibited it so big companies can make more profit thanks to “bad journalism”

-can also help aids patients, aids diminishes appetite have them smoke a joint and they regain their appetite counteracting the illness

-no one can die from smoking cannabis and has been no known deaths compared to everything else including alcohol, tobacco, etc..

I myself have asthma and smoking opens up my airways making it easier to breathe with no side effects when medically legalized in my state I look foward to becoming a patient for prescription marijuana. 12 states have already legalized it along with other countries in the world and more following my job is to educate people that are not aware of the plants uses

re-legalize!

-I did most of my research through websites, books, magazines, and the news norml.org high times magazine etc..

• theres more to it than just getting high and I believe legalizing it would make this a better world to live in

-God bless the whole crop!

• and for people that dont smoke, you dont need to smoke it to support it

-all the better reason for the government to legalize.. couple reasons why it should be legalized: -will be removed from black market and stop empowering gang members -medical reasons -would be sold like alcohol, remember alcohol was once prohibited too (in stores away from children, have to be 21+) -would be a law that you cant drive while intoxicated on weed -prison population would lower (prisons are overcrowding with nonviolent offenders) -keep patients from being convicted -would provide millions of jobs for people -would make us an independent country (fuel, etc.., debt free america)

people with an addiction (including hard drugs) shouldnt be thrown in jail, they need help theres more people in jail with mental illnesses than there are in mental institutions

the list goes on

• the War on Drugs is a failure, its a war on its own people. policies need to be changed we pay billions in taxpayers money to keep the war going and neither side is winning thats just a waste of our tax money I wonder what they do with all that money.. those greedy bastards just sell drugs back onto the street, you can even check urself on that there was a time when there was a cia operation transporting drugs overseas into america the government also provided Rick Ross with plenty of heroin to go around, course making money from it

the truth must be exposed, theyre dirty work must stop!

-Of course we can do something about it, we all just need to unite screw the federal government remember slavery? if no one stood up im pretty sure it would still be going on people were tortured, beaten, killed and thrown in jail but that didnt stop them standing up for their rights eventually slavery was abolished same with alcohol prohibition eventually became re-legalized

• its like theres some kind of conspiracy going on I sense the government is up to no good and trying to control us. credit cards, money, and now they have chips that can be implanted in skin for uselful reasons but if in the wrong hands well were pretty much fuct they hiding the truth from us its dangerous to be right when the government is wrong they got theyre privacy but we dont. they want to know everything were doing on our leisure time

get up stand up!

• marijuanas not anti-establishment because its illegal, its illegal because its anti-establishment

all facts stated have been double-checked and confirmed want to learn more? norml.org americandrugwar.org hightimes.com lets all make this a better place to live in!

Whatever side of the argument you are on, it doesn’t matter what people say because you won’t change your mind. It’s a very emotional and controversial subject.
Everybody who thinks they know what they are talking about needs to watch “The Union” Its a documentary that goes over the facts and talks about both sides of the argument. You will be very glad after you watch it and I guarantee it will change your perspective on things. If you are anti-pot and you neglect watching this you are very ignorant. If you want to find it type “watch the union documentary online” on google it should pop up.

I personally love marijuana! Haha. It’s not for everybody though and you have to realize that. If you smoke marijuana a couple times you need to be honest with yourself about whether you enjoy it or not. It can screw shit up for you, but it can also reveal another beautiful side of life for you. It all depends on who you are. Thanks for taking the time to read this and have a good life everybody!

I may be late, but here’s my two cents. I don’t understand most of you people. He was just a teenager probably peer pressured into using a soft core drug, and now his mom wants to cast him out? What kind of mom does this? If she felt so strongly about it, you would think she’d pay more attention to his habits and talk to him about it. If she used to do drugs, she’d easily recognize signs of drug use in her son.

What I am saying is that people on this board, for the most part, have ignored the greater issue. What you have done is far from “Bad” enough to warrant such a horrible reaction, and punishment, from your mom.

I support stillen132’s general statement. People here like Ginatodder and leslie23, along with the majority of the American public, are sadly misinformed. PEOPLE SHOULD DO THEIR OWN RESEARCH! Find independent medical research for unbiased information (stay away from many government sponsored studies) and find out the truth about marijuana before you try to argue a point.

Anyways, to weed-bashers, if you think drugs are so bad, you would fight to decriminalize or legalize marijuana. Why? Because, if you study statistics from, for example, Germany (decriminalized) or Netherlands (legalized), you will see that alcohol consumption is lowered dramatically because people choose pot over it. And since marijuana is one of the safest drugs available, safer than caffeine, believe it or not, (you can overdose on caffeine or become chemically addicted, not possible with weed) there is less alcoholism, less drunk driving, less lives ruined etc…

People have to have an open mind and not let the horribly corrupt American government tell you what to think.
