It's so impossible for parents to grasp their kids might be using and might be in trouble with their use. It's a common misperception that kids will just experiment, but you can't experiment for six months or a year. Heavy hitters with loaded bats that can strike out kids from the game of life, literally. It's no wonder cigarettes, a few beers and a little pot are often ignored, even tolerated and preferred by parents when it comes to their child's drug use, a totally unacceptable compromise in Hayes' eyes. All adults have to take the use of tobacco, alcohol and marijuana seriously and be afraid of it.
All drugs are harmful and wrong.
Sadly, increasingly, intervention often is needed at an early age. I spend an incredible amount of time working with smokers. You can t say, It s just tobacco, it s just marijuana. Adults who used marijuana in their youth would find today s much stronger and the type of use different. You can sure make it terribly uncomfortable.
