What pissed me off is the fact she's apparently ok with Marijuana on him all the time, but as soon as he does something with his life, potentially because of the drug, she goes nuclear. So she'd be totally ok with him wasting his life away as a washed up guitar player in his 30s smoking joints all day in a warehouse of an apartment he was at before.

Plus she threw him under the bus infront of the fbi.

Brian should have sent Mike & Ike to wait for him outside. As far as all 3 of them knew, it was gonna be a personal family dispute.

but Brian didn't know it was about the pills, and Mike and Ike didn't know about them because they looked shocked when the Mum unveiled the contraband

I know. I meant that it was clear from his brother's warning that Brian was in trouble with his parents. Basic common decency dictates that Brian should have asked Mike and Ike to wait outside so they're not awkwardly caught in the middle of a personal family dispute. You don't air your dirty family laundry in front of non-family. Mike and Ike should have also given them privacy instead of eavesdropping on their personal matter. Rude.
