[b]Again, what does your "faulting the kid" really do here?[/b] Do you realize how ignorant you are about addiction? If it were as easy as the kid waking up and saying "I am not going to do drugs anymore," then there wouldn't be a drug problem.  The personal responsibility required to kick an addiction is nothing at all like the personal responsibility required to say, study for a final.  [/quote]

It makes that PP feel better about themselves, for some reason. That's what it does.[/quote]

It actually does.  I'm frankly sick of people blaming everyone else for their problems.  Acknowledge that you raised a kid who made bad choices and is now an addict.  That doesn't mean he/she doesn't deserve help, doesn't deserve to get better, but it does mean you stop living in denial and making everyone else to blame so you can feel better about yourself.[/quote]

+1. And what gets me is the parents who don't see the correlation to allowing underage drinking and looking the other way at things like pot smoking.[/quote]

Absolutely agree.  I'm flabbergasted that legalizing recreational pot is a popular stance and becoming common in jurisdictions.  Americans have a preoccupation with getting drunk/high.  No surprise that in such a climate, kids will view opioid use as similarly harmless.[/quote]
