hauxwell Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 When I say drugs, I mean illegal drugs, not Alcohol, which is legal, taxed and controlled in measure. My concern is whether to talk to them about it and accept that they may try substances, which may give my tacit acceptance that they will which in turn may not discourage them from doing it. Or to ignore it. Obviously I'd be happier if they didn't but people do and I don't want them to die from overdose. This piece on Unilad has really opened my mind to it... http://www.unilad.co.uk/drugs/why-have-mdma-overdoses-reached-an-all-time-high/ All suggestions, other than the uninformed "all drugs are evil" "all drug dealers are evil" nonsense would be appreciated. I have just been looking on the NHS CHOICES web page and it gives some good information about talking to your children about drugs. I do not know how to create a link, but I am sure you will be able to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
