Hi everyone. I’m reaching out to get some perspective on a situation I’m facing. My mother has caught me using marijuana about four or five times now, and she’s reached her breaking point. She wants me to drop out of college and check into a rehab facility for a few months to get clean. I could potentially understand that if we were talking about hard drugs, but I’ve been smoking weed for three or four years and there are even stretches where I don't touch it at all. The issue is that when it comes to substance use, my mother refuses to make any distinction; to her, marijuana is just as devastating as heroin. She has given me an ultimatum: either I go to rehab, or I start taking responsibility for myself by finding a job. What would you do if you were in my shoes?

I should also emphasize that I have never, ever used anything else.
