Last night I sat my teenage sons down and showed them a picture of this:

18. I had the "drugs" talk with all of mine and my oldest daughter told me years later that the only

Thing that kept her from joining some of her friends in doing drugs a couple of times was what I told her. I 1st explained my experimentation while in college, but the part that resonated with her was when I told her of how I slowly lost a couple of friends who drifted into the drug culture and kept going. I told her to give these casual pot smokers 1 year. If they still had the same friends and still just smoked pot, go ahead, but I told her many would be doing other drugs and all their friends would be too. All they would talk about would be drugs, getting money for drugs, and the good times they had on drugs. They would be doing bad in school or dropping out. I told her they would try real hard to get her to do it too b/c they cannot stand to have a straight person around to remind them that they should not be doing drugs. She witnessed this happen during that next year.
Peer pressure is a powerful thing, but in the video you at least see that not all of those boys gave into this sick behavior!
I think pot should be legal and regulated like alcohol. It might make it harder for underage kids to get, just like it is harder to get beer than weed for a minor here in Tx.
