Grandma smokes pot


Question Posted Wednesday May 14 2008, 9:16 pm


i'm 14 and a girl if that has anything to do with this..

ok so here it goes..i live with my grandma (who's like 52 but looks about 34..lucky her huh? :P) and she's always saying "don't hang out with the pot heads at your school" and believe me, there are A LOT of potheads at my school! i don't hang out with them anymore 'cause they don't like to hang out with someone who doesn't do what they do. i KNOW that pot is bad but recently i went in the laundry room and found a bag with weed in it. i knew it was my grandma's because i know for a fact my sister doesn't smoke it. but i shoved that aside.....but THEN i went in her closet and found another stash of her's and now i'm pretty upsett. she tell's ME to never do pot or smoke cigarettes because its bad for you. but then she turns around and does exactlly what she told ME not to do!

so my question is this...how do i get her to stop?
please help me!

<3 Mandy
P.S. i might write here more often :D

Heh, yeah lucky her. My mom's like that, she's 56 and people think she's in her late thirties.
Does your grandma have any medical conditions like glaucoma, or anything? If so, it's possible that she could use it as a medicinal herb - I'm not sure where you're from, but Michigan's about to vote to have it legalized.
In your shoes, I would sit her down and ask her about it. Explain to her that you feel frustrated and confused that she told you not to do something, and she's going and doing it herself, just like you told me. Hopefully she'll be honest with you and tell you why she has it. If it's medicinal for her, you have to realize that you may not be able to get her to stop, and it might be something that you just have to deal with.
But first find out why she has it. Lol, I find it slightly difficult to believe you have a loser/pothead granny. I think there's a reason behind it, and your best bet is to open the lines of communication with her.
Communication is key to any good relationship, family, friendship, or otherwise.
First talk to her, and if it turns out there's no medical reason, or she really can't justify it and you can't get her to stop, come talk to me again and we'll figure out where to go from there.
Good luck!
