Listen. Listen. SHUT THE FUCK UP. Kids aren't gonna do drugs because you tell them about drugs. Or maybe they will, but wouldn't you rather that your kid know exactly how drugs will affect them, how to reduce the harm that occurs when they take them, and how to stop an overdose than to not know any of that and do drugs alone & unsafely?? Like idk man personally, I'd rather have an open conversation so I know that if my kid gets in over their head they know they can talk to me and we'll get help together. :)))))
