They think by not offering anything and being stern with their own personal values that their kids won't do drugs or have sex.  And they think if you put some condoms and/or narcan in your house it will be immediately be a drug-infested brothel.  And that is just how their parenting is going to be and they think it's correct.  So be it.  Kudos to you all. [/quote]

I absolutely 100% expect my kids not to do drugs.  If my kids need narcan then the failure on my part happened years BEFORE that point was reached, not the point at which I didn’t supply narcan.  I would never send my teen to a party with narcan to “save others” - if I thought that would be a concern, my teen would NOT BE GOING to that party.

I am fully aware that at some point my teens will have sex, but I expect them to 1) buy and use protection like the mature-enough-to-have-sex people they think they are, and 2) put enough effort into sneaking around that I don’t have to know about their sex lives.[/quote]

Weed is legal in many states and weed is also sometimes laced with fentanyl unknowingly. If you think your kids will never smoke weed in their entire high school or college life or you failed as a parent, you are just gonna have kids that never communicate anything with you since you will forever be disappointed in them[/quote]

I never smoked weed in high school or college. And I’m not special. Lots of people, believe it or not, make it to adulthood without doing drugs.[/quote]

I also never did drugs (including smoking weed) and I was and am a happy, well-adjusted person with a satisfying social life and a great relationship with my parents.  The majority of my friends also never dod drugs.[/quote]

Great! But also extraordinarily out of touch with teens and early 20-something people today. They are ditching alcohol in favor of weed. [/quote]

I understand and can agree that marijuana use can and is more common with teens and young adults today compared to those in the past. Still doesn't mean EVERYONE does it.[/quote]

But most do. 66% of all teens 12-19 have done it just within their last 3 months. Not even just ever which would be even higher. [/quote]

What survey are you citing?[/quote]
