Amen Cynthetiq....
You're 18. You're an adult. Act like it! Get a job! Hell, I can't remember the last time my parents bought me clothes - let alone anything else. Beyond Christmas and Birthdays, all that I have is what I bought myself. My first job was at 16. It was legal to get a job then, so I did. It's called responsibility.
Honestly you're living under their roof. You really don't have a right to complain. I lived at home up until March of this year. Up until the age of 25. I wasn't "grown up" enough to go out on my own. Luckly my parents allowed me to stay at home. They had every right to kick me out at 18 if they so chose. I was lucky. I was very lucky to have my parents. Are they prefect? Nope. But neither am I. I lived under their roof and under their rules. That's just how it is.
My sister is 22 and she lives at home. She bought a new Honda CRV last year. $365 payments a month. She brings home about $120 a week on her salary. And right now she's out of a job because of health reasons. My parents pay her car payment. Her insurance. They are pretty much the ones who pay for everthing my sisters child. But she makes me so angry because she doesn't realize that she needs to be accountable for her own life!
As do you. The issue here isn't about pot. It's about you not liking what your Mom is doing. Well, guess what.... You don't have to like it!
I think I'm rambling too much and not really making a point. Sorry for that.
Bottom line. Get a job, get some money saved up and become independent.
