So tomorrow I’m going to a friend of mine’s house to have a sort of anti-valentine’s day party. Not really a party, just some mutual friends, some food, and some weed. The thing is, my mother decided to tell me she’s going to drug test me the day after. I’m at the point where I don’t really care if she catches me. I’m at a really low point, even though I’m young. I want to smoke and forget about all of my stresses. I’m not the type of person to do crazy drugs like acid or cocaine. I don’t like any of that stuff. I smoke to forget and to relax. I smoke a few bowls and I sit there. Sometimes even take a nap. I only smoke about once a month. I’m not sure what to do if she catches me. I want her to understand why I do it. And that I’m not hurting anyone by doing it. I don’t do it out in public. I do it inside where I’m safe. I know if and when she finds out, she’s going to totally blow up on me. Maybe even slap me around a few times. But if she does, she’s being completely hypocritical. She was a complete pothead when she was my age. She would even sell at one time. I hope she understands where I’m coming from and we come to some sort of mutual agreement. Because I’ve been looking forward to tomorrow night for weeks.
Do home drug tests even work?

Reminds me of a remix of Miguel’s “Do You” by Cashmere Cat. Good song if you like drugs and a little bass heavy Trap n’ B.
I’ve only ever done coke so I have no idea about that “good”. Look, the serviceman in me says “make this girl see the bad it’s going to do in her life!” but the realist in me knows that my word ain’t shit. You’re old enough to make your own decisions, just…standby for the consequences. Her past mistakes are just that, and I would never want my daughter to make the same mistakes that I had.
My two cents.
I agree with rare echelon that it is your decision of what you do and to make sure you own up to what you do. I personally would not want my child doing drugs or smoking weed for that matter. Parents can’t always protect their children from making the same mistakes they made and they shouldn’t. It would literally break my heart. I have only smoked weed and I really don’t smoke it unless I am around other people who smoke it.
I wonder about the home drug test too….
They do, more or less. Depends on which one and the quality of the lab.
I did plenty of drugs 20 years ago in college, makes me ancient right? I never much liked anything but pot and other organics (shrooms n’ hash)
I don’t recommend it though. It does impact you, though it doesn’t have the effects that hard narcotics do. Pot is something you can do in moderation, just keep it under control.
So I saw a therapist many moons ago, who asked me about my drug use (this was when I was in college) I told him. Mary Jane is indeed a depressant. If you are feeling depressed, you probably shouldn’t do it. I’m not psychologist, that’s just the suggestion of my therapist oh so long ago.
A calm, thoughtful discussion with your mother may work wonders. Let her know how you feel. As far as slapping you around. Don’t put up with that. It’s never OK. Not once. Turn her in if she does. Its abuse and the only way abusers stop is if they are confronted and their behavior made public and open. Then they might get help. At the least, few have the guts to do it anymore.
You live with your mother? Then I hate to remind you of what you already must know. Her house, her rules. I don’t know her, but would she throw you out? You’re not gonna convince her that it’s ok to smoke weed if she’s already at the point of drug testing you – geez. If it’s a matter of getting baked today or having a place to live, you have to decide what you want more.
She wouldn’t throw me out. Not in a million years. What I’m saying is, she never thought of her smoking weed as a bad thing.
She even jokingly tells stories of when she used to smoke pot and to what music she would do it to. She’d say how she’d smoke with her brothers and sisters.
That’s why I’m wondering if she’d understand my reasons.
