hmm... well.. telling her it is 'normal' to drink occasionally is as weak an argument as her saying she wants to smoke occasionally.
Yes smoking is bad, but the gal is 40 years old. She's probably gone though life doing the things she was supposed to do... living up to other people's expectations, yada yada, so now she just wants to do what SHE wants to do. Give the mom a break.
Pot may not be as dangerous as cigarettes, but your still sucking smoke and other bad goobies into your lungs which cannot be healthy.
and she is right. You can't sit there with a drink in one hand and a joint in the other and tell her she shouldn't smoke.
