Hey, I just decided to sign up here now after browsing these forums for a few months. This isn't really the type of community I'd like to be overly active in, seeing as it's just so massive, but it seems to be a great place to turn for advice on weed-related matters. I'll post a bit here and there, but I don't even post that much anymore on another forum that I've frequented for six years now. Anyway, a little about me. I'm 20, not extremely social, and generally have less-than-mainstream interests. My favorite bands are The Mars Volta, Muse, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, Mindless Self Indulgence, The Killers, among many others, with progressive rock as my favorite genre, but I like a large variety of music. I'm big into video games, and am a firm believer that the age of 2D games is not over (just look at the Metal Slug and Castlevania series as great examples that approach perfection in 2D, while the 3D games that came out for both really sucked). I do love my 3D action/platformers, though. But enough about all that, I think I've proven quite well to you all that I'm a huge nerd.


Okay, so I don't want to be bothered to create another thread, so I'll post this here, the reason I decided to sign up tonight.

I've always had an issue with taking the initiaive on things, long before I started smoking marijuana (which has only been for a couple years now, actually). I've dropped out of two colleges (which, I know, is really pathetic) and still have yet to get my license. I've also never had a real job. Right now my parents are still in the process of moving, and for awhile my mom, my brother, and I stayed with my aunt because she lives alone and my brother is finishing school at the same high school he started at. Anyway, my mom caught me smoking pot in my aunt's bathroom, which I know was a stupid thing to do, but I felt I was making too much noise by going outside at night and I didn't want to sound suspicious. So my mom told my aunt, and they were both extremely pissed. My mom then takes my stash away from me, which had a considerable amount of weed and a nice glass pipe. If I wasn't stoned at the time I probably would have stood up to her and refused to give it to her, but I was just in too much shock to really do much of anything. So she goes on with the reasons why I shouldn't be doing this, some of which were fair arguments (the fact that I don't have the money to spend on this stuff) and other obviously not-so-fair arguments (she's concerned about how it would affect my health). Now what's happening is I'm being made to live in the new house with my dad, even though the place isn't 100% finished and we have no internet, cable TV, not to mention the power's always going out because it's the fucking middle of nowhere. Meaning I'm even cut off from my friends back at home, which is over two hours away. Now, maybe my priorities are a little slanted, but I want my weed back first, because that cost me quite a bit of money. With 4/20 upon us, what better time to ask for it back? I'm reasonably confident my mom did not throw everything out (can't be sure, though) beause she is at least somewhat open-minded concerning these types of things. I mean, she says she's pro-legalization, but on the other hand buys into all the propaganda on how dangerous marijuana is supposed to be. So, assuming she did NOT throw everything out (I cringe whenever I consider that she did), how do I go about convincing her to give it back to me? I want to do this as delicately as possible, though, because she's ill (after a few years the doctors still have not diagnosed her with anything, but she has very little energy), and stress only worsens her condition. How can I be reasonable about this?

Oh, and thanks for taking the time to read all that; I just needed to get all that out there and hopefully recieve some insights that will help me.
