"My mother never sold it. She grew it and gave it away for free. It was a 'blessing of the Earth.'" There's a slight scoff, not at giving away free pot, but at her mother's opinion of the world around her. "Anyway, if I change the subject here, will it seem too abrupt?"
She doesn't want to talk about pot because she doesn't really want to talk about her mother, either. "There are so many topics that are so much better."
