And regardless, I think you ought to move out after you finish high school, or else you're going to have a hard time establishing yourself and functioning independently.... I guess I don't know if this is true, but it just never seems like a good thing when someone continues living with their parents long after high school.
ya, im planning on moving out as soon as i have the money, ill prolly move in with my gf
as for my brother, hes just a loser, hes subhuman in my view anyway

Yeah, I moved out even though I was still going through university, much to my expense. (I'm not done until next December actually)
My family has helped with school though, and I have a bit of a loan (not very much compared to most though).
Everyone is on good terms though, although I don't communicate very often, too busy.

I'm so glad my mom is a smoker, it makes life so much easier at the house. I can't imagine you guys who still live at home and are not able to smoke in your room or the house for that matter.

at this point she doesnt care about my use as long as right up until i use it it falls into a grey area (eg trichocereus, ayahuasca, dmt, and lsa) and when we start living together im getting a med card, as i actually do have several psychiatric conditions (and family histories thereof) which it helps me with, and that it can help prevent (bs med cards are wrong, and you can get in trouble for it)
What do you mean "bs med cards are wrong", its not about it being wrong, to some degree its about one word... FREEDOM. in california Prop 215 basically states anyone may use cannabis with a doctor's reccomendation right? so me being diagnosed ADHD (what kid nowadays isnt?) and taking Concerta for a brief period of time, and also being diagnosed with having Dysthymia and taking Lexapro also for a brief period of time, but when i was in highschool, i experimented with marijuana and i noticed weed helped me in more ways than both my pills were helping me. So Prop 215 basically states if marijuana helps you better than your medication or doctor's treatment can help you, cannabis is permitted. It's a right you have, it's not about giving anyone with money a medical marijuana license. If you have insomnia and you smoke a joint to help you go to sleep at night, there thats a reason. if you have serious menstrual cramps and weed calms those down, there thats a reason. the list goes on and on.

exactly, but what im saying is that it makes it harder for ppl who use it for actual theraputic purposes if someone goes to a doctor and gets a card just so they can smoke, and get weed legally, thats what im saying

not really. theres no paper trail from the doctors who give out the recommendations. i guess it could make the system look bad through the court system for crimes committed because of these laws... but i don't see how it would affect that.

Probably one of the better ideas I've seen. But don't put her in a position where she may feel like she's being ganged up on. If she feels like she is being cornered then that can be an excuse for her to just walk out on the conversation and only exacerbate (thank you "Shaun of the Dead") things.
I've only tripped once in my mom's house, the other times I was away at college. I tripped during the day and on a small dose (maybe 1g or less of Weilii). At some point I ended up standing in the doorway of my mom's empty room. She has raised both my sister and I pretty much by herself. And I just put myself in her shoes for a minute and saw life from her point of view.
Later that day when she came home from work I told her that she was doing a good job. She nearly cried. At this point she already knew I smoked marijuana. We went out for dinner and she asked me if I had tried anything else. I told her honestly that I'd tried mushrooms, acid, and xtc as well as pot. She didn't blow up at me or anything, but was glad that I was honest with her.
I then asked her a question: If/when marijuana gets legalized, would she ever try it? She has been a nurse for about 30 years now, her father is a still practicing Doctor, so she has a good understanding of health risks (like inhaling smoke in general). She told me she would never smoke it, but might try eating a brownie.
So here's what I suggest you do. Try to put yourself in her position. Try to seriously picture why she is so against it. Then talk to her, honestly and sincerely. Ask her how and why she is against marijuana. If it boils down to, "it's illegal", remind her of the prohibition and point out the only difference between the alcohol prohibition and the cannabis prohibition is the length of time.
If you find that you cannot find a common ground with her, and she continues to nag you and make you do pointless tasks, you do always have the right to move out.
Good luck.
