Absolutely, "drugs are bad mmmmkay?" is still how schools teach it.

I remember smoking weed for the first time and not even having a hangover. It me question EVERYTHING about drug policy.

I don't want my kids to question it, because they'll already know it's bullshit. I want them to ask their Dad.

My kids already know that "Drugs" means all the bad shit plus all the good shit. Cocaine, alcohol, paracetamol, ibuprofen, all drugs.

If you take too much paracetamol you can die. You can get addicted to coffee.

I heard in a film "If it comes out of the ground it's probably ok, pills and powders are bad news" and I couldn't agree more when it comes to recreational, so that's the line I'm gonna take.

Personally I think it's human nature to get off your box once in a while, I think it's what's shaped humanity into what it is today. I believe most religions probably came from a dude doing psychedelics and writing shit down.

Tell me Buddha never got fucked up. Jesus' holy oil was probably made from cannabis. Santa Claus is actually the Fly Agaric mushroom, it's red and white, and if you drink the piss of reindeer that have eaten it you can get fucked up and not die, a gift. Mead was originally magic mushrooms preserved in honey, until some started fermenting and they realised you don't need to put the mushrooms in there to get wasted.

So my kids will probably want to get off their box in the future. I need to educate them well enough that they get off their box on the safer stuff, not blindly take that pill their mate offers them.
