[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are the parents?  Clearly they are ok with their kids using. [/quote]
This is not true. There are many parents who are at their wits' end but feel powerless.[/quote]

Then stop feeling powerless and take control.  Drug test your kids, put them in treatment, ground them, take away the money, etc.  Stop making it easy.  Kids will find a way but at least try.[/quote]

Have you dealt with an addicted child or watch a family a deal with their addicted child up close?[/quote]

NP - look.  Many, many parents minimize alcohol and cannabis use in teens.  Many parents SUPPLY their kids with alcohol out of the misguided belief that they’ll be safer or learn better or some other such nonsense.  This article is less about “addicted” teens than it is about widespread substance use.  And yes, parents do often look the other way.  I hear what you’re saying, but I also think you’re talking about what are mostly two different groups of kids and their parents, albeit with a bit of overlap.[/quote]
