Taking Ecstasy with your children

Hm..that's a bit of a tough question. Well, first, my basic rule is X is as far as I'll go with drugs. Not bagging on anyone who does it, but I would never even allow myself to try crack or acid or anything harder than X. I'll do weed, smoke cigs, and take X, but that's as far as it goes. I think I would want my children to all follow this. After their 18, they can do whatever the hell they want.

You'd be surprised, I remember the days I swore I'd only smoke weed - now I've tried so many chemicals I've lost count. One hell of a ride though!
 
i personally feel that teenagers are not physically and mentally developed enough to be consuming mdma. so if i found out my daughter was using mdma i would have to scold her and express my discontent with that. i would urge her to wait until adulthood to indulge in mdma. if i was using at that time i would not feel two faced at all i would not lie but i would be straight up. "this is for adults, your not an adult, i would highly appreciate it if you waited until adult hood to indulge in mdma/all drug use".

this....i wouldnt get drunk with my kids, so why would i do anything else? since ive grown up, ive smoked weed with my dad and gotten drunk with both my parents, and id probably trip or roll with them if they wanted to, but im an adult. I wouldnt encourage teenagers to do anything...even saying "oh you can tell me about it" seems to tacitly encourage its use...if my kid was using, id tell them i didnt want them to until they were 21, and at that point, itd be up to them.

Smoking cigarettes is by far more damaging that LSD though - I personally would much rather my kids take the odd trip than smoking on a daily basis.

I suppose, but with LSD, you can have bad trips. I've dropped LSD twice, and both times were awful for me. I had two horrible trips which got me into big trouble, so I don't want my kids ending up in the same trouble.
 
I'm only 19 but IME party drugs themselves aren't really dangerous on their own, its the lifestyle that often accompanies them. I've tried/used pretty much every common drug, but I'm responsible enough not to over use them or let them take over my life. I'd rather my kids pop m's every once in a while then smoke weed every day, because being a stoner generally kills your motivation and your not living at potential, whereas MDMA seems to motivate you, and I've yet to come across any side effects that didn't go away within a day or two.

So moral of the story; I wouldn't mind if my kids used pretty much any drug as long as they are responsible with it (except stuff like heroin, crack, and meth which are apparently really addictive, kinda hard to be responsible with those and they don't really have a place in the party/college scene). I'd never punish my kids for using drugs, I see it as a right of passage... everyone does it. I'd rather have an open and honest relationship with my kids. Not-condoning drug use doesn't mean your kids won't use drugs, just means it will take you longer to find out if they are.
 
dad?
Seriously though, you're kids might just know. I'm a teenager and i suspect it..
quiet honestly it depends on the type of relationship you have with your kids.. inbox me if you want to id love to give you my 2 cents

Also has the potential to provide a very beneficial experience too. Not going to get that with cigarettes :) *cough*smoke*cough*
 
This is a tough one. I'm only 18 but by the time I have kids I will probably be drinking and maybe smoking weed but I doubt I'll be popping pills anymore.

If I find out my kids were doing it I'd probably have to give them a long talk about everything that can come a long with drugs and advise them to make smarter choices. I will love my kids regardless as my parents do the same for me.

No, I don't think I'll ever take MDMA with my children. I'd smoke and drink with my theoretical kids, but doing drugs with heavy social stigmas attached to them with my children is a no no. Put simply, it's not worth the potential problems which could pop up. Besides, I'd want them to choose for themselves whether or not they'd be interested in trying MDMA - if they were over the age of 20, and asked me to do MDMA with them, I'd probably be down. On the otherhand though, if they asked me about drugs I'd try to give them as much of an unbiased response as possible, and if I knew they were using MDMA I wouldn't flip my shit but rather teach them the dangers of addiction and tell them to be safe.

Surely though MDMA only has a heavy social stigma because some people abuse it and the media portrays it as an Evil child killing drug that puts holes in your brain etc.

You know other though so would you simply go with the flow of the mainstream hysteria and be all shocked if you found your children to be using. Or would you be honest enough to explain what MDMA is, its dangers etc.

Dont forget when I say children Im talking teenager not 8 or 9 year old popping pokes in the playground.

Surely thought knowing the risks associated with and the deaths that are directly linked to smoking and alcohol these are two of the things you should shelter your children from? From some of the posts is appears that people are more concerned with public opinion that illegal drugs = Bad, socially accepted drugs = Good - regardless of the facts.
It’s strange how the majority of us think that having a few drinks with our children or even taking them to their first bar is fine and part of growing up but drugs are another thing all together (even though were using them).
I understand the risks of them becoming hooked on the feeling and running off to join the Rave scene but the risk of them becoming an alcoholic is probably greater.
 
Ya I wish everyone would make their own decisions instead of blindly believing things. We'd have a much more tolerant world, much more atheists too :)

I originally posted this question in another thread but thought I would make a new thread to keep the other one on subject.

If you had a teenage son/daughter and thought they were using MDMA would you be angry/upset or would you ask to roll with them (if you were already secretly using) or would you be two faced and be angry and upset with them (but still rolled in secret anyway because its soo freakin awsome )

My stepson will be 18 in a couple weeks and we've already hit this issue. ;)

He told us before hand he was going to roll, so we trotted out all the info (Erowid, PR, & BL mainly) and made sure he understood how MDMA worked ... way too many teens seem to think "bigger, faster, more!" is always the answer!

I feel better about his MDMA use than I do his constant marijuana intake. :(

We did roll together once, but he's a talker and we're cuddlers, so it won't happen again.
 
I could never do it with my mother, she has no idea when it comes to drugs. If I had children though I would love to give it a go. My friends mother experimented with all sorts of drugs and my friend is completely open about what he does with her and she has even thanked us for being responsible and taking care of him correctly.
 
I do not have children, and honestly, I never want them, but if I did my children would know more about drugs by age 10 than any of their friends. It drives me crazy that parents tip toe around important life issues because they feel uncomfortable talking about them. My mom was like this about sex and drugs and I consider myself to be damn lucky, cause I did both kind of stupidly and have never had a drug addiction (short of caffeine, which I have kicked) or a baby or an STD. What kind of adult is uncomfortable talking about serious issues? I could talk to anyone of any age about anything... period.

So would I do them with them? Yes, but only if they wanted to. I wouldn't force it on them, but if they expressed interest I would rather them do it the right way. Everybody in the world knows that kids are going to do whatever they way anyway, I'm not sure why parents think they can stop them. It's time to end that way of parenting as far as I'm concerned. I would hope to create a relationship with my children that was based on honesty, so that they would feel comfortable coming to me with anything. Definitely far from what I had, and to this day, I don't really care for my mother.
