well i've been constantly thinking of this and i guess i feel its time to ask...
is it like right for my mom to let me smoke pot, like she never cares, and when she does notice i'm high, she just laughs and hangs out with me.... so i just wanna know

I know plenty of parents that allow their kids to smoke. It's all about preference and personal morality. I see no problem with it. Being 19, my friends are all over the age of 18 and there are parents that accept the fact that we will do what we're going to do regardless of their advice or chastisement. There are also parents I know that smoke regularly with my friends and I. There isn't anything wrong with this, but if a parent lets smoking become an addiction or lets it interfere with everyday life, family activities or the quality of living that the family wants, then it could be a bad thing. For the most part, my friends are responsible, my friends parents are responsible and we all have fun without letting it get out of hand.

It sounds like your mother is more interested in being your friend rather than your mother. When kids are still living at home, a parent can't be their friend. a parent can be close, and friendly, but she must be your MOTHER first. From your short post, it sounds like your mother wants to hang with you more than she wants to take the responsibility of raising you.

I'm not saying she should quash your pot use, but has she talked with you about it? Has she cautioned you about the consequenses of using pot? What if you get busted? Will your mother bail you out, pay your fine or pay for a defense?

Has she been your Mom or your Pal?

Good it be that the fact she knows how harmless it is to you?

I agree with Sec. Maybe you should confront her and see where she is coming from.

Don't complain. I think that is the coolest thing ever. One day I was tokin' at my friends house up in his room and his mom busted in holding a bag. I thought she found his tree and was going to yell at him. But she was actually holding a bag of ganja butter and taunting him about it. It was awesome! After she ate some, she told him to roll her a j to hold her off until the butter kicked in. If my mom was like that, my life may be perfect.

I think this is one of those varying situations that depends on you and how you feel about it.

Personally, depending on your age (especially if you are under 18), I find it sad that your mom allows you to smoke anything without atleast talking to you about it in a parent-to-child manor.

Then again, I'm the type of person who believes a child's well-being is the parents duty until 18.

And yes, I'm aware that 18 is an arbitrary number of maturity invented by society, however, it is fairly close to the age that the human brain matures the logic/reasoning parts of itself (mid twenties), thus it's a fairly good age to wander out of the nest.

Sounds to me like you should try and talk with her.

Even if she knows the possible consequences of smoking pot, she needs to be up front and tell you about it. You need to talk with her, let her know that you know all about how your choices can affect your life, and she needs to say her piece, if she has one.

Do you feel as though your mother's opinion has any influence on your life, whatsoever?

My point is that, even if her disposition is permissive, her mindset shouldn't have an impact on your decisions. You need to experience and develop your own ethical values that aren't dependant on your mother's.

Whether she allows you to smoke or not is irrelevant... your personal opinion on the issue is what's important.

I'm in a similar situation, my mom doesn't seem to care as long as I'm doing it responsibly, after homework, not everyday, and not driving. Although she did grow up in a hippie-oriented environment, there's a difference between being a 'cool mom' about it, and simply not caring. She knows my level of maturity for my age so she trusts me, so if you're in a situation like mine; I'd say that you're one of the lucky ones.
