My father caught my smoking weed at the back of the house at 16 after I had finished a shift at 0300 glass collecting in a local nightclub. He looked pissed and said we'll talk in the morning. The next morning he sat me down and said he smoked weed until I was three years old.
His advice was.
"smoking weed is fun and can help you relax but you must always remember that there's more to life and weed may stop you from seeing that, stop you from doing the important things in life, so don't let it become your entire personality."

I don’t honestly remember getting a drug talk (besides the DARE) program.

I do remember being taken to 3 separate third party sex talk plus a bunch of it in church at many different ages.

Man what a brainwashing our folks did to us.

Yeah, you can't trust those Venture Capitalists

"Drugs are bad because I tried all of them and they were bad" my father said. I don't doubt he tried some, but he was also a teller of tales.

Mother said not to do them because they are deceptively kind. She's come around on weed being less worse than alcohol.

My preschool drug talk was 'Here, puff on this'..

Not even joking. The very first word I remember is joint.

Fell asleep smoking Vietnam era weed. Doubt. Weed laced with opium perhaps.
