OK, so from a parent/caretaker I get that smoking pot (at home) isn’t maybe a great idea to just let happen, but humiliating the kid in front of everyone is an absolute shitshow. Good thing the passers-by were quite a bit more understanding. And the tossing? As long as it’s not in grandma’s salad… whatever.

Yeah depending on his age the pot could be something a good caretaker should stop, but it should be stopped with a conversation about how it impacts development and how if he wants she can promise to buy him a joint for his 21st birthday.
Porn can be a similar conversation, “here’s why I oppose it, especially for young people, I can’t decide for you how to live your life, but I would appreciate if you gave it serious thought.”
Punishment like this all but guarantees he won’t ever see eye to eye with her on this and leaves me with little doubt that she never tried actually talking to him about her beliefs and why she wants him to act the way she does.
