So basically you guys are telling me that I should continue to keep this part of my personality apart from my mother... That's crazy. IP: Logged |

Hey goatcat, did you know marijuana increases the chances of developing anxiety? And it can worsen the effects of preexisting anxiety? The younger you start, the more likely you may develop anxiety and other mental health issues. It mellows you while you're high, but the rebound becomes progressively worse. quote: goatcat: My drug dealer supports his family with the money he earns.
Does he sell to addicts? Dependents? How should he be respected if he's not only enabling someone to worsen their living conditions and/or exposing them to health risks, but profiting off of it? A good deed does not wash out a bad deed. IP: Logged |

I suggested you start slow and make the impact gradual. IP: Logged |

Believe me, it never works trying to get mothers to accept what they do not wish to. If she is willing to at some point, that's great but moms are notoriously stubborn about what they disapprove of. IP: Logged |

That doesn't make it okay. You have to start with what's within reach and nothing will get better unless you can stop what you can. Starbucks, McDonalds, and alcohol companies can come later. Like drugs, all those can be avoided too. But any ways, I'll stop giving you hell. Do you drink? Start with that. Say mumma! I like to drink and party. Bigger issues, like drug-use, can come later.

It's not about the weed, I like rasta and that's full of it. It's just the typical stoner mentality wear I live is verrrrrry narrow I am much more broad minded than that! It could be different where you're at, maybe yours are more open minded than the ones here? IP: Logged |

Well I use ganja recreationally as well as the people that I enjoy smoking with. We use it when we make music mostly. IP: Logged |

I never smoke anything with my 12th house planets. Smoking is too strong for me, anyway, but I don't get upset when others do it or it's sung about in music. The only problem I have with stoners is they only like one kind of music, one kind of person and I like all kinds of people and ideas. We clash over that. They want to push away what I want to accept. IP: Logged |

Looks like you desperately need your mother's approval. But what are you counting on, girl? You most likely would shock and distaste her and make her constantly grumble at your behaviour. Do you really wanna go through it?------------------ I'm sooo happy! I mean, cappy. IP: Logged |

I think it's the people not the weed. I'm the same exact person when I smoke, just a little less detail oriented. IP: Logged |

We're only telling you that it's natural to have secrets that your parents don't know about. Technically, no one can make you do anything you don't want. If you want to tell her, do so. IP: Logged |

Your mom does not need to know. Thats like telling your mom how you lost your virginity...There's no need to give her the deets.

I would just hate for her to believe her daughter is a certain way when she really isn't. Maybe it's my moms problem because she would be the one disapproving who I am. I'm still a smart girl that loves the Lord. I just don't believe in religion and I smoke weed and drink and I like to party and I like being half naked. IP: Logged |

I never tell my mom stuff, haha. I keep most of what I do from her, always have. It's because she is very narrow and judgmental even though she has her own issues with substances, she is in full denial because they are prescribed and anything that a doctor provides is fine everything else is wrong, so I don't talk about stuff with her even though there's not much to talk about. I keep what I do to myself. Most of it is boring stuff, I just don't even talk about that. I guess open communication is best. I have just always been super secretive about what I do. It's not natural for me to communicate about everything. I stay quiet a lot of the time and can get snippy when people start questioning me. It feels so intrusive to me and I resent it. IP: Logged |

Do what you think is best, goatcat. Only you can know what is best in your situation and you are not the same as people posting, so you can only go by what you feel is best for you. IP: Logged |

I've always been super secretive around my mother because she is just so judgmental and close minded. IP: Logged |

Well, you posed a personal question on a public forum - a question for which only you seem to know the appropriate answer. The others gave you their resolve - based on their relation with their mothers. If you find their responses crazy - maybe you're heavily influenced by your mother - while the others... not so much, so for them it's "normal". Same applies to me - I have so little in common with my mother that - we can't even compliment each-other (as if we're from different worlds)... so yeah - i don't tell her much about me. She wouldn't be interested anyway - as she finds my way of thinking and my subjects of interest - to unorthodox... incomprehensible. IP: Logged |
