Hi guys, I've got a question for you. Actually I need mj for medical purposes. I'm 21 years old and I tried all possible therapies to cure my disease (anxiety related diseases) but the only thing that gives me relief is cannabis (the fact that mj is still illegal pretty everywhere is so sad. Trust me, I tried a lot of chemical therapies.. The difference between traditional meds and mj is unbelievable until you are forced to try both ). I live with my mom (and my sister, who has just married and will go away in 30-40 days). I got a really good job but, also because of my disease, I can't move out and live by myself. I live in Italy (now you know why my english sucks so bad lol :D) and trust me, our average "street" mj is garbage, full of seeds, has low quantity of thc, chemical taste, etc etc.
I dont want to involve my mom in all this, thats the last thing I wanna do, but that's the only possible thing I can do right now to live a better life.
One last detail: my mom is a pharmacist and she really understands how bad my disease is, but unfortunately she doesn't know anything about cannabis plant, like many of our parents she thinks cannabis it's a drug just like cocaine< heroin and so on (she tried to help me buying "strong" rare medicines, hormones and so on, but nothing really helped me). What should I do? Should I ask my mom if I can grow cannabis indoor?
I live in an apartment (highly populated city) with pretty no nature around (I drove for hours around my city... I absolutely can't grow outdoor / guerrilla). I ask your opinion about this serious problem which I can't solve. Thanks guys!

Cannabis is a naturally occurring plant that has been around for thousands of years, the Tylenol and aspirin she sells are not natural and has been man made for profit. I don't see how such a hypocritical viewpoint could even be possible really. As a pharmacist she should categorize it similar to tobacco with the most educated guess, regardless of standard law of tax profiteers (governments).

Asking your mom is really YOUR call dude, if you don't think she'll snitch on ya for something silly then yes I would discuss it with her personally, but if you really know already that shes got some preconceived notion of what is a drug and what isn't, obviously being a pharmacists shes going to be bias against cannabis as an alternative to everything that she currently sells, the pharmaceutical pills and gimmick associated with it. I'd say your chances might be slim if she isn't open to discussion, but I don't think growing against her will in her own house is good idea either.

ask her, see what she says. give her the facts with stated sources and your personal view on the subject. keep in mind it is still her place. the best thing to do is be honest and prepared. give he as much information about it as possible.

the benefits, the downsides.
the growing process
the costs
and most importantly WHY you want this.

if you have hard facts to give her on how it will be beneficial and how it is compared to other man made drugs and how they are beneficial as well but not to you (dont attack her position on man made drugs, but strengthen yours on MJ)

if all else fails, do you have a friend that grows or would be willing to grow for you?

If your mom is truly a pharmacist then she has taken the responsibility of people's health seriously and cares for the well being of others. That being said, talk to her about your concerns, do a little research and present it to her, tell her this is the way you would like to treat your body. If she doesn't do a little research on the subject and enlighten herself when her son has concerns...well then TELL her that this is what you want. Good Luck
