Would it be appropriate to discuss marijuana with my mom?

Hey all. I am an occasional marijuana user. (I know not all people agree with this and I hope you can keep with me even if you disagree.) I want to "come out" to my mom but I don't know if it would be appropriate. I also want to know the extent of her usage when she was young.

I am 20 years old and a college student for the record. She admitted to me a long time that she smoked weed in college, but she only admitted to once. Today, I talked with her, and she began to share some stories of college. I asked her if she drank, and she said "No, but how do you know I wasn't smoking weed?" I muttered something and changed the subject because I felt intimidated that she'd ask something about me. I want to begin the question, not the other way around, lol. I just feel "put on the spot".

I don't know if it would be appropriate because I told her once that I went to a party, and she immediately asked if they had weed there, and seemed kind of disgusted or irritated about it. I have a sneaking suspicion that she went through my phone when I was home visiting once and saw a marijuana-related text message, and now suspects it. She's like that.

So, anyway, do you think I should bring it up to her, or due to her reaction, should I just keep it to myself? Thanks.
 
It's not like you are 12 years old. what is the big deal? If you don't even live at home. why would you let her be so controlling?. I can't believe she would snoop your phone! I just wish I could see my daughter. Good luck!
 
Well you should be able to talk to your mother about anything. If you feel worried about telling her and think that you shouldn't then don't. The chances of her throwing a fit are very present, but if you want to talk to her about it, you should be able to. You don't HAVE to tell her, and it's obvious you don't need her permission. The only thing you have to lose is...well...maybe the respect of your mother, but that's what I think would happen if I told MY mother this.

I think maybe it is better to keep it to yourself until you slowly and occasionallly bring up this topic and slowly introduce it to her and then tell her :)

You are twenty years old. You are adult enough to make your own decisions on what goes into your body. She will still love you. The worst that will happen is she gets worried and concerned, but what mother doesn't? Just be honest with her. You arent addicted, and as long as you be safe about it then the conversation should go well.
