PP, thanks for the insightful questions and respectful manner in which you're asking them.

To answer the first question: I have always had this view, probably because it's how my parents saw it as well. I got all my experimenting over with as a young adult in safe/stable environments with people I love and trust. For some addicted teens, much of the allure of drugs/alcohol stems from the illegality of the substance coupled with the strong restrictions from their parents; it's almost like a way of rebelling or seeking independence.

For the second question: well to answer it bluntly, no, it was not necessary to accept experimentation to gain my son's trust. I accepted it because I believe it's the right thing to do.

Regarding the FWIW...yes, one has to be careful when trying something like E overseas. But at a rave club that holds 12,000 people, most of whom are doing some sort of drug, taking a pill beforehand in the company of 3 good friends is hardly what I consider life-threatening. [/quote]
