Answer by Gorkbark Porkduke Gefunken Fubar
Marijuana contains high levels of dangerous toxins, which the stoners will never admit. Levels of ammonia are 20 times higher than in cigarette smoke; hydrogen cyanide and nitric oxide are 3-5 times higher. This is why it is listed as dangerous.

I Think My Mom Is Too Controlling, but Am I Wrong?

Question by TheresaJones.: I think my mom is too controlling, but am I wrong?
Okay so, I am fifteen years old. I honestly can say I’m mature and wise for my age, and most of the time I make good decisions, but occasionally I’ll do some teenage thing that probably wasn’t a great idea. Anyways, my mom constantly tells me how proud she is of me because she knows I’m smart and I don’t give her any trouble. Sometimes I’ll get into an argument with her and think she is the most annoying person I know, but I usually keep myself under control. Here’s the thing though; she manipulates me all the time. My parents got divorced when i was probably two, but have always been friends, and I got to spend a week with my dad, and then a week with my mom. They both loved my brother and I alot. My brother was a bad kid; he was nice and flattering to adults, but was heavily into drugs and partying. When I was thirteen, he was sixteen, and in September, my brother committed suicide. He did it at my dad’s house, with a gun that my dad bought a while before. Ever since then my mom hasn’t forgiven my dad and wouldn’t let me live with him anymore. My dad and I are best friends though, and we are extremely close. Writing this makes me really sad actually. Also, my brother and my mom always fought, and he acted like he hated her and said that she was a crazy bitch that tried to control him and treated him like a little boy. Anyways, I’ve been pretty good, but I’ve gotten into some trouble lately. On Halloween my friends all smelled like weed, but I didn’t so my mom was worried and wouldn’t let me sleep at my friend’s house and blocked all their numbers from my phone. (Which I can understand, by the way, I didn’t smoke.) And the next day she found out that I went to a rave and got really mad because she heard about what people do there.
She’s never been easy going with me, and always gets grumpy and pissy whenever I mention my dad or talk to him on the phone. I really just want her to forgive him because she has too much hate in her heart.
