Mom Finds Drug Stash-Trip Report

[Iplayboard]

So I'm a college student who went home to live with his parents for the summer (mistake #1).

For my return trip I decide to bring back an ounce of weed for pesonal consumption (and to give to a few friends) and an eight-ball of coke (for friends). (mistake #2)

Well evidently I "mis- underestimated" how much an ounce of marijuana smells (misktake #3). My mom is in my room putting away clothes and my cat follows her in. Apparently I have a drug-sniffing cat in my household and she immediately goes into my closet and starts smelling around. My mom figures out the object of my cat's interest and discovers my $400 stash, cocaine and all.

An akward conversation ensues. I explain that the cocaine is for a friend (without naming names)and that I agree that it was stupid to do such a favor for a friend.

In regards to the weed, my argument (although more eloquently phrased) was basically "Ya I smoke weed, I get good grades, I haven't been arrested, I have a normal social life, I work out three times a week, get on me for what?"

My mom explains that my grandfather was a pretty bad alcoholic and she thinks that I may genetically have an addictive personality. I try to explain that I feel that weed is very different from alcohol and any other drug and that I have been using it for almost 2 years and I am still leading a balanced and healthy life.

My mom requests that I see a pyschologist, and I agree to, saying that I am going to tell him the same thing I told my mom.

Any related stories or constructive advice? I already know that I did a couple of foolish things so saying that I should have been more careful or that I shouldn't have sold coke to a friend isn't neccessary.

Oh, and Happy Mother's Day!
