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.

My parents too. Some of the guys my dad grew up with became junkies. My mom's sisters an alcoholic and they always bring up that it's illegal and I would get arrested and not get a job or go to college. My dad sais I'll move onto heroin and tells me stories about the guys at the methadone clinic across the street from his work. I shoot his ass down. LOL
