What message did you get growing up about drugs from your parents?

[Locut0s]

There are basically two stereotypes when it comes to drugs and parents. There's the "even an once of pot will kill you and I will disown you if you take it" and then there's the "want to share a joint son". Truth is most of us grew up with parents somewhere in the middle, probably closer to the first than the second. What message did you get about drugs from your parents?

Personally I've grown up with parents who are quite open about such things. I've never received a positive message about drugs and have always been steered away from them but I've never exactly been given the "don't take drugs" speech either. My father took marijuana a couple of times and found the experience rather disturbing I understand, he was suffering from depression at the time and had a nervous break down around that time. Having suffered from depression myself I've always been wary of trying pot. Still I know that while my parents might not be exactly happy if I did try it they wouldn't flip out either. At some point in life I may try it but it won't be from peer pressure or alienation. And both of us know I will never try hard drugs.

...

All they ever told me is that they'll wash my mouth with soap and give me an hour lecture if I ever took any drugs.

Nothing really..............I was very antidrug on my own.......till I tried them......

Besides my mother warning me about the dangers of drug abuse, I had too much sense to bother.

My mom told me "I'd rather you didn't smoke but if you are going to smoke, smoke here. I don't want you driving home stoned."

My brother got most of his weed for free by stealing it from my dad.

I was never given the drug or sex talk...i was just raised with a lot of love and good morals. Kind of liek a natrual instinct of right and wrong. THat being said..at age 21..I have tried pot and sex...but I have been very responsible with it.

my parents just said "dont do drugs" a bunch of times. but curiousity got the best of me. acid and shrooms were crazy when i was younger. i dont do anything like that anymore but i still think marijuana should be legal.

Don't do smack or coke. Mushrooms are a lot of fun.

Mostly "Don't do stupid sh1t," "Don't fvck up if you do decide to do drugs," and "Don't get caught."

Is that your advice or what your parents told you. Either way I agree...

I think their general message was common sense. I can't really remember any "Don't take drugs!" conversations.

My parents are of the "I will disown you if you do drugs or smoke" type.

My mom told me she smoked pot once and didn't really get what was so great about it. She was very anti-hard drugs, and I think she was mad when she caught my older sister smoking pot (because I guess she was doing it regularly for awhile), but my parents never threatened to disown me or anything if I did drugs.

Edit: Oh, I also got to see a lot of negative side effects of drugs in babies that were born with them in their system, since my parents take in foster children. I think that seeing crack babies helped steer me away from ever doing drugs.

I don't recall what my parents told me about drugs.

End result though: I don't see any point to doing drugs. "Oh yay, I can partially lose control of my mind, and possibly bladder, bowels, and balance, and then act like an idiot and humiliate myself! Yay!!!!"
Yeah. Biiiiiig fun.:roll:
