Medical marijuana has been legal in the state for three years, but my mom still refers to the medicine as a drug. I don’t think there is anything that will change her mind about marijuana. We watched a documentary that was specifically about the benefits of medical marijuana can offer and my mom said it was junk science. I mentioned medical marijuana to my mom a couple of weeks ago, because I wanted to bring up the subject. I recently applied for a medical marijuana card and I’m going to start using the plant to help with my anxiety and depression. I really didn’t want to hide the medical marijuana use from my mom, so I thought it was important to talk with her about the subject. I was hoping my mom would be open to a discussion about medical marijuana, but she got really upset and started praying for my life. She thinks I’m going to turn into a drug addict and rob a convenience store if I start using medical marijuana. I tried to tell my mom that she was not being reasonable, and she made me leave the house. She hasn’t answered the phone since we had that visit. I honestly can’t believe my mom is sticking to her opinion and I’m even more upset that she is going to let that ruin our relationship. The doctor is the person that suggested pot. The guy has a medical degree and thirty years of experience. I’m not going to turn down any medical advice that might help me feel more sane.
