Getting busted smoking cannabis
Being a single mom with a teenage child is quite a challenge.
I’m not complaining, I cherish Josh and being his mom is the best thing that ever happened to me.
But it’s still hard at times. I have never been a teenage boy before, so I can only imagine how hard it is these afternoons, with social media and the rise in online bullying. When the school year ended, Josh had a few of his friends come over for a party. Trying to be the best mom I stayed out of the way and let them have run of the house. I went out into the side yard to smoke some cannabis, thinking no one would notice. Much to my surprise I saw Jake, one of my son’s friends, already smoking cannabis in the yard. He tried to hide it, but anyone who has smelled the sharp scent of cannabis will know it from 12 feet away. I told him to go ahead and finish it, and after that I lit up my own cannabis. I asked Jake if his mom knew he smoked cannabis. He admitted that she did not know, and that he had stolen the cannabis from her secret stash. I knew his mom already, and had smoked marijuana with them more than 3 times in the past. I told him that I wouldn’t tell his parents, so long as he didn’t tell Jake that I was smoking cannabis. He laughed and finished her joint, then turned to me and said “your kid already knows you smoke cannabis, dude.”
