Agony Aunt

(Look, it's been a rough couple of days.)

Dear Amy: I have a dilemma. My daughter, who is 22, confided in me that one of her best friends from high school smokes pot.

My daughter does not hang out with her because they attend different colleges.

I was very close to this girl when she was growing up. She was at my house all the time. Her mom and I are still very good friends.

My daughter says to stay out of it and to not tell her mom.

I was very disappointed to hear this about my daughter's friend. I'm not sure what I should do. What do you think? Should I tell the mother what the daughter is doing?

Worried: I don’t think you should do anything. Would you report back to this mother if her (legal age) daughter had a cocktail?

Marijuana is quickly attaining legal status; the jury seems to be out on how casual and occasional marijuana use affects people over time.

Unless this young woman has health problems or serious risk factors relating to her marijuana use, you have no cause to report it to her mommy.

Plus — it’s simply none of your business.
