Talking about the basics of sex is grand when your wife's a biologist. What about drugs though? My eldest is going into 6th class now, and apparently kids start to come into contact with booze and weed and pills more or less at their first secondary school disco. The "drugs are bad m'kay" line is a lie, and my own (very limited) experiences have been almost entirely positive, so ...

I've pointed out that some drugs are much more dangerous than others, and also said it's a good idea to learn to have fun as an adult without intoxicants first. Afraid to talk too much about it in case I get asked if I ever took drugs, and then I'd either have to lie or implicitly endorse drug-taking. Or refuse to answer, I spose

Anyway - any thoughts?
 
Just tell them to share with you and bring you along

My folks told me nothing. I missed out on three good years of drug taking over it. If anything point them to good factual resources and maybe that site that warns about bad shit?
 
i'll probably just skip to 1:40 of this and leave the rest up to them

I wish someone had told me that no, that isn't an acid trip, that is you losing your mind, get help.

But heyho
 
LOL, and eh so where does the oul cocaine come from them, Mr The Economist reporter lad? Healthy well-run community beneficial economic production model, is it?
Free market cocaine is still a free market. The Economist has never seen an economy it didn't want to liberalize down the barrel of a gun.

I can't remember to the old joke about it, something along the lines of posh British 22 year olds writing for 60 year old Americans. But, you know, funny.

If it was legalised maybe it'd end up being run by big pharma. Hardly "healthy", but better than what we have now. Would take a v long time to get there though

Coca Cola still uses coca leaves where they remove the cocaine from the leaves (like decaffeinating coffee), they use the leaves then for flavour and the extracted cocaine is used in the pharmaceutical industry. I don’t know if they own the coca farms in South America but the processing is done in the US.

LOL, the kind of cocaine people like sticking up their noses isn't naturally present in lines magnitude in a coca leaf

You think drug lords can turn a profit by making it synthetically? It’s a lot cheaper and easier to extract it from leaves (pro tip: use more than one leaf!) and that’s where most cocaine comes from. Similarly, that’s why medicinal cocaine comes from Coca Cola’s unused cocaine rather than from a lab. I was just pointing out that a legal route for cocaine already exists.
