less than a gram of weed


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? caifornia

So 2 1/2 weeks ago i got caught with less than a gram of weed on me on school grounds. I go home and they said they would contact us in a couple of weeks to determine the punishment. 1 week goes by and they say that it is not serious enough to take to court, so they will handle it locally.

another week goes by and according to my mom, they told her that i will not be put on probation. My mom tells me that they said i wont be put on probation, but they told my mom that they will call her randomly over a 4 month period to have her (my mom) drug test me herself and then bring it into the police station.

Now i thought this was a bit odd, so i question my mom by asking her why the police dont just drug test me themselves, or have me come into the police station so that they can administer it and not my mom. (Assuming they did that, then they are just trusting my mom, which doesnt seem very proffessional. but hey what do i know, no sarcasm intended)

To me it sounds like my mom is lying to me so that i wont keep smoking weed. these are the reasons...

-i dont think the cops would have my mom drug test me, and then have her personally bring the urine sample in.

-4 months seems too long for the offense? correct me if im wrong

-i had told my mom i wouldnt smoke weed until after my probation was up, so i think this is her way of keeping me off of it, scaring me?

-I will be 18 in 2 months.

now i respect my mom, and i understand why she would do this. but what do you think? would the police do anything like this? is my mom just trying to protect me?

i can accept the fact that i need to stop smoking, but i would rather her just tell me straight up rather than lie to me.
