What would you do if YOU found out your KIDS?

For any of them, i'd bring the fuckin' hammer of god down on them. I know even if I asked, i'd never find anything out, find one hit of E? shit, maybe its just one he had left out of his hundred lot. Same goes for anything, I mean, How many of us told our parents the truth about our drug use, even when confronted?
 
i'll make sure they are doing their stuff properly, taking all the posible care and overall being responsible and not just "druggies"...

and i'll let them know about some of my experiences, so they can know they can ask me about it, if they are not sure how to perform the above request.
 
1) Ok, explain risks dangers and allow them to smoke at home and be safe.
2) Ok, explain risks dangers and allow them to trip at home and be safe. I consider ecstacy to be in this same catagory so void it from the next.
3) I'd take the DXM and just throw it out and tell them to get some real drugs. Otherwise, nothing, talk to him about safe use (no booze) and probably take a few of them.
4) Coke ? Nothing unless it was out of hand like spending too much $ or fucking up responsibilities, hopefully from all the other drug moderation/education info my kid will know whats what and will know that some use is OK, while excessive use is inexcusable. Meth ? Time for rehab little buddy! Then lots of family time! Heroin ? Would talk and check out use, depends on if they were abusing it or just doing some weekend shit. Either way i'd tell them to be very careful and warn them to cut it out. If they were shooting it ? Rehab.
 
1. I would explain the dangers of abusing pot, I've seen first hand (my brother) what can happen to people who abuse pot, and it's not nice. However, it can be used safely and responsibly, and if the child was using it in such a fashion, I would not object. However I would not allow them to smoke inside, and I would watch their usage and more importantly, how their usage was effecting their life.

EXACTLY!!!

straight to rehab or OUT OF MY HOME!!! =)
 
What's with everyone saying REHAB!, REHAB! ?
Rehab is no magic bullet, even the best don't do shit most of the time. Just ask some people that have gone through it.
 
rehab may not cure addiciton but it definately helps

and if my kid was getting high in my home behind my back then he would be disrespecting me, and would need to see the dark side of drug use in rehab

(or he could just move out and do drugs in his own home)

10 years of smoking daily (I no longer know what he's like when he's not stoned, I can't remember any more) has had all sorts of negative effects on his life. He has wasted thousands of dollars on it, he has been arrested on multiple occasions for charges both directly, and indirectly related to weed, he's attempted suicide, he is showing warning signs now of possible schitzophrenia (sp?). He has lost countless jobs and friends over it, dropped out of school, destroyed his social life, been to rehab and then within days of leaving was back on it.

While he is a regular drinker (3-4 times a week), he can go weeks at a time without a drink with no problems, to him drinking is just fun. If for whatever reason he can't get weed on a particular day he gets moody, and before long it develops into violence. Not aimed at anyone/anything in particular, usually kicking walls etc. However if you give him the slightest reason to direct his anger at you, he will become physically violent.

He cannot sleep without weed, he can't get up in the morning without weed, he can't function through the day without weed.

Smoking weed is the first thing he does when he gets up, he will come home for more at morning tea, then again at lunch, it's the first thing he does when he finishes work, and he continues to smoke til he goes to bed. If he wakes up through the night, he will have a smoke.

I guess the point is, that any drug can cause severe problems if it's abused, just like any drug (although I believe meth may be the exception) can be used safely, causing minimal damage.

If they were under 16 they'd be punished.

If they were 16 or over I'd make them write an essay on harm reduction. If they couldn't write a satisfactory essay they wouldn't be allowed to continue to use.

great approach. ITs a further test to their motivation. IF you cant get motivated for parental approval of this...what could youpossibly get motivated for?
 
As I am not yet a parent, I cant tell you for sure. But I would like to have an open and honest relationship with my children (as Im sure is the naive hope of most parents). I would rather forgoe punishment (which I dont think necessarily does any good anyway, whereas communication and positive reinforcement and conditioning has been proven far more effective becuase if you yell and punish children you become the problem in their eyes, rather than their behavior. They will simply say 'my mom/dad is so fucked up, they are too harsh etc.' instead of considering that it is their actions which may be fucked up... and they will continue this behavior behind your back - which can be dangerous) and be frank with them.

I want them to know that if they do something like drugs and tell me about it (preferably before they do it, when they are thinking about doing it - although this isnt always possible) that I will not be angry with them, I will be blunt and honest about the dangers/attributes of whatever it is they want to do and I will always be there if they get into any trouble or need any help no questions asked.

I will tell them that I have smoked marajuana and never had a problem with it (but would rather them not smoke it if we are in the US as it is not worth going to jail over). That I have done cocaine and it is really and truly not worth trying and can be a very evil drug indeed. That I believe ecsatsy and shrooms etc. should be taken when a person is ready and for the right reasons (like greater self-awareness or discovery) and in a safe environment with all precautions taken.

I would tell them that before they touch heroin or meth they should do some research into the lives it has ruined and think about whether or not it is really worth it.
 
I wouldn't want them using E or coke or heroin. But pretty much most other stuff I could live with, provided they're honest about it like I've always been with my parents and know some things about responsible use.

I'd probably smoke a joint with them, I've done it with my dad, but I wouldn't want to trip with them probably. Maybe if they would really want me to, but I don't feel like tripping with my parents. I talk to them when I'm tripping sometimes, but I'd rather not have a full trip around them.
 
I would make all the right noises.

but, looking back, nobody or noone could stop me as a kid once I had decided upon a course of action so . . . . . follows my kids would display not dissimilar traits.

I would try not to be an autocratic bastard because that would cause more harm than good
 
I'd talk with them about it. As in, have an honest talk with them about it. I'd definately warn them about stimulant drugs, since those are the ones I really have had issues with, as well as the ones my mom told me she had issues with. I wouldn't be particularly damning, though, just a warning. But I'd make sure to talk with them about it, so that they wouldn't try to pull off anything douchey or stupid.
 
I'd rather find out my kids were using heroin than alcohol.
 
this is funny as my mother did happen to find (or I gave on xanax/came in the mail while I was in rehab) my cocaine.. my syringues.. my xanax... and then a month or two before that nearly a grand in pills.. :'( (I'm not a violent guy.. but when she took my box form me.. I literally SHOVED her ass to the ground and had to be restrained by the step father)

needless to say, she wasn't happy and I ended up in rehab...

I personally feel that if I found those four with my children.. the pot.. I wouldn't really be too concerned about it.. I might not mention it.. or I might go ahead and confront my child and tell them if they were going to do drugs, to at least do them in the house and not to mention it to people so they wouldn't get caught riding around toking up...

the psychedelics, I'd make sure they knew what they were doing.. they would actually need to literally know everything from chemical names to dosages to having read every experience report on erowid..

the pills.. make sure they know the dosages and effects of the drugs.. I might not even mention them.. *shrugs*
and the hard drugs, I'd just sample them.. tell them to be aware what they are doing.. not to get in too deep, keep limits, and I'd probably (after sampling product) end up making them go through me for drugs.. like.. I'd have to buy for them.. that way I knew the product they were getting was good.. and then I'd also know how much they were doing.. keep an eye on them....

I guess it also would depend on said childs age and maturity... hmpf..
