How to Convince My Mom to Let Me Smoke Weed?

Question by Teal: How to convince my mom to let me smoke weed?
I really want to be able to get my moms approval for smoking weed, it mellows me out and reduces my back and knee pain from previous incidents. Some of my friends parents are cool with it. But I don’t want to do it behind her back and I don’t want to get my stuff taken away. I’ve gotten caught at school with a container that smelled like weed and I got suspended and my stuff taken away but I only told her I did it twice. My dad was a huge stoner, rolled up in front of me as a child my bro is too and my uncle. I talked to her about it but she doesn’t want me wasting my money becoming addicted and becoming stupid and she says I don’t need a drug to take away my pain. I’ve seen her high before but she doesn’t like it cuz it makes her paranoid. When I saw her high my bro gave her a cookie & didn’t think it’d do anything to her.plus I’m sure my dad wouldn’t care if he was around still but he’s not.
TL;DR: dad bro and uncle smoke weed, like it cuz it mellows me out and reduces pain in knee and back.mom doesn’t want me to,don’t wana smoke behind her back.16 goin on 17
