Yeah, I had a lot of frustrating conversations with my parents on the subject when I was living there. My dad apparently saw a lot of his friends go to shit like heroin and OD later on in life, and the only thing he ever did was drink so he's bitter towards all drugs. My mom would listen to my arguments and I'd completely shut down anything she could say on the subject, sometimes she'd end up saying, "Well, it's illegal so you just can't do it" or "I'm paying for school, so I don't want you to fuck it up and get arrested" or "You need to keep your grades up, you can't do that while you're getting high".
I suppose the illegal argument and the potential for me to get arrested argument are valid for not fucking up any career options in the future, but she basically knew it was all bullshit. If she had just been cool with it, I would've had to take a lot less risks smoking weed when I was younger.
