[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If his school work isn't suffering, nothing. It is natural to experiment with soft drugs. As long as it is an occasional thing.[/quote]

Are you a drug dealer??!?!??!!![/quote]

No, I am just not crazy like half the people here. I am not a permissive parent. My kids are both extremely well behaved, intelligent, and engaging kids. They do well in school and one of them is about to head to a good college.

I smoked quite a lot of cannabis as a young man. Whike if I could do it again I would choose to do less (and I haven’t smoked cannabis for a quarter of a century) it didn’t stop me being a very successful student and worker. (My salary is in the top one percent, since that is the metric that dcum cares the most about).

My parents were vaguely aware of what was going on but didn’t intervene. It is hard to imagine my life would have gone better had they been more restrictive, reported me to the police, beaten me up, forced me to be drug tested or whatever other crazy ideas people are floating here. I suspect it would have been much worse.

Of course, if they are getting into hard drugs things are different. But again, the best way to deal is to stay involved, ensure they are educated on the risks, and getting the help they need. [/quote]
