I guess it all depends on the relationship you have. My aunt smokes (Weed) and has a prescription, i can get weed anytime i want. And my mom allows me to smoke weed if i want to, she knows im smart and im not gonna start fucking up because of weed. The thing is i choose not to smoke weed. I am not a huge fan of it as it is an unpredictable experience for me each time, and im an athlete thats another main reason. And i just feel guilty doing it. I know my friends, girlfriend, etc wouldnt want me doing it and i would feel bad during my time being high and after. Just doesnt appeal to me much.But if you really want to tell her the only way to really do it is approach her, tell her you need to speak to her, and tell her i guess?

my mom caught me smoking pot and was pretty cool about it and then asked me one day if i smoked cigs and i just said yes and she got way more pissed at the cigs then the pot. its really up to you, but keep in mind that your parents can be pretty unpredictable, like i thought my parents wouldnt really care that i smoked pot and she tried to make me go to a psychiatrist and on antidepressants which was really really random, so keep in mind they will probably act differently then you expect...before you tell your mom about weed why dont you just say something like "mom i quit smoking" and start it that way cause she cant really get pissed at you after you quit something.

I would have to say that a LOT of moms do not approve of that kind of thing at all. Maybe it would be a good idea so that she would trust you more for telling the truth? I too love the hookah, but I had to quit that because I found out the hookah is a lot worse for you than cigarette smoke. Good luck with the mom!

My advice; don't tell her. My mom found a blunt wrap in my room and she was up all night waiting for me to get home to ask if I smoke weed. Well fuck yeah I do but I only told her I had done it a few times and had not done it in a long time and that I would not ever do it again. Yeah right. It is sad that my mom is such a close minded person, she even started crying cause I told here that I had tried weed. I still love my mom do not get me wrong. Anywayz, if your mom has a close minded personality...like one of those people who where raised the right way...don't tell her.

I told my mom I smoke weed 10 years ago, she already knew but not that I smoked EVERY friggin day. Ever since we've been more tight, because I threw in a bunch of other shit she didn't know about me. I'm glad I did, in the long run.

I started smoking over the summer, and told my mom sometime in October. It went surprisingly well. Here's the long version:Me: "Mom, since it's been apparent recently that you want us (her kids) to be more open with you, I feel obligated to say this. Don't freak out."Mom, half-joking, half-serious: "You're gay?"Me: "Heh, no."Mom, still half joking: "You got Lauren pregnant?"Me: "Uh, no."Mom: "Well?"Me, after much hesitation: "I kind of like tobacco."Mom: "Wow, my straight-edge son? I never would have expected that. What do you smoke?"At this point I'm so relaxed and surprised to see she's not freaking out that I have no idea what to think. It turns out she was a heavy smoker as a young woman. She quit once, then years later when her mother died she started bumming people's cigarettes for a few months, but quit when she married my father. "I'm marrying a non-smoker." She told herself. They divorced about two or three years ago, and on a recent vacation to France, she had her first cigarette for some twenty years.After telling me this story we ended up each having a cigarette and a nice conversation in the backyard. Both of my parents basically feel that since I'm 19 and my main responsibilies to them are to do well in school (which they're paying for) and clean up after myself. The short version: I told my parents I smoke and they didn't freak out.So should you tell your parents? If you are living up to your responsibilities to them, and you'd prefer not to have the guilt and fear of keeping your tobacco habit secret, tell them.If they are very controlling, and are likely to take away your money, car, and privileges if they find out, don't tell them.Thanks for reading my rant.
