[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is probably a hot take here, but it always seems weird to me when people have not experimented with drugs at all. I think it is a normal thing to do. Drug use itself isn't necessarily bad if done in a safe environment. Addiction is horrendously bad, but everyone here has probably been out with friends recently, watching everyone sip wine, and thought nothing of it -- and alcohol ruins more lives than (other) drugs.

I haven’t experimented with many drugs (just enough alcohol to get mildly buzzed).  Maybe it makes me weird but I have a family history of alcoholism and I’m not interested in tempting fate.  That being said, I don’t actually think there’s anything wrong with experimenting if you want to (alcohol, pot, or even sketchier drugs).  A lot of my friends in college did with varying levels of enjoyment — no one I knew ended up with serious drug problems and the worst outcome was my friend who got roofied at a bar which sucks but has nothing to do with her also having tried pot one time.  I think it’s important for kids to know to be careful and to have someone safe to reach out to if they get into trouble, though.[/quote]
