<p>“Again, I do not believe that everyone does drugs, not by a long shot. All I am pleading for is that parents keep the option open that if their children ARE going to do drugs, to at least try them somewhere safe, like in your house.”</p>
<p>That’s misguided thinking. If my kids or my friends for that matter insist on doing an illegal activity, there is no place that is safe to do such a thing.</p>
<p>I certainly wouldn’t want to risk my own safety by having them do illegal acts in my house. If drugs are in my house, I could be arrested.</p>
<p>My kids know that if they choose to do something illegal, they will be the ones facing the consequences. I’m certainly not going to act like I have a magic wand that can protect them.</p>
<p>Oh – and even when I was young, I knew a parent who smoked dope with her daughter, and friends of some of my college friends gave pot to their children.</p>
<p>Even back when I was the age of some youths posting on this board, I didn’t agree with what the parents did.</p>
