My kids did not do other drugs because I explained how dangerous they are. Period. You are free to choose that if you want to. And a blue ribbon commission to the prime minister of England on pot said the most dangerous thing was juxtapositioning pot with hard drugs. I don't agree it is the "most dangerous thing" but there is a danger. Pot clearly shouldn't be considered as dangerous as, e.g., heroin, which the Obama government doesn't seem to get. Can't you see that if parents tell their kids pot is as dangerous as hard drugs and they find out you lied about pot, maybe you lied about hard drugs??? So they try the hard drugs. Yes. It absolutely is a problem. My son has told me one of the things that turned him off to the "Just Say No" program is that the cops came to his 6th grade class and told him if he smoked a joint he would end up addicted, which of course was either a lie or told in ignorance. But neither should we be telling them that there is no downside to marijuana. It is a generally harmless substance, but I would never have told my kids it was okay to use it.
