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

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

I've started calling them Vulture 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 mother told me not to do any illegal drugs because if she ever had to bail my ass out of jail, she'd've been pissed.

I'd like to say it worked, but honestly, I've just never had the interest.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

I've never done any drugs that were illegal at the time of consumption. The state of nj says weed is legal, so who am I to argue, I'm not the overarching government!

My advice wait till your like 70 then try them all.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

If I make it to 70 and I've still got connects I'm gonna finally get addicted to speedballs.

Extacy and LSD are a surprisingly good combo, especially for a well supervised nature hike. You need about 1 babysitter for every 3-4 tripping people, but they can smoke weed to help pass the time. Don't drink. The tripping people will inevitably want some, and those two drugs frequently don't play nice with alcohol.

My favorite is mushrooms and DMT. I don't like acid very much but I'd love to try X.

"Drugs are bad, m'kay?"

Sorry, I'm binging South Park right now and the way you started your comment made me read the whole thing in Mr. Mackey's voice.

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

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

People really underestimate how many parents make their kids do drugs. Even for stupid reasons like they want someone to get high with.

Wtf kinda society you live in?

Then "more often than you'd like" surely boils down to a couple ppm instead of never, right? ... right?

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Unfortunately, no. And it's not always weed.

My SO worked in youth addiction counseling, and it's pretty rough.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 9 points 19 hours ago

Not far from that here too, I could roll perfect joints before I was 10, never smoked anything myself until I was 20 though, and have since stopped.

[–] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Do you still consume cannabis?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)
[–] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Man we could have federally legal weed.

It won't happen anytime soon with the Republicans in charge

[–] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 10 hours ago

Didn't happen with democrats will never happen with Republicans. We're fucked until we get rid of corporate lobbying.

[–] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 22 hours ago

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