Parents of Shroomery, how will you address the subject of drugs with your kids?
    #21010028 - 12/21/14 10:16 PM (9 years, 4 months ago)

A question to parents of Shroomery..
How do you plan to / how did you discuss drugs with your children?
I assume it would be difficult to be pro-drugs (as I imagine most of you are due to the forum we're on) but still want to steer your child in the right direction.

So how do you address it? Meth = no, Weed = yes? (for example)

i would raise them to be wise young whipper snappers. by the time they even cared about drugs i would be like look, these things are just experiences, they alter perception. but please keep in mind Jimmy/Jill what inspires you or makes you happy..... nothing on earth can create that for you but yourself.

Please do not bring drugs into a child's life just because you are pro-drugs. Children's brains are different - they are trying to develop up until a certain age (up to 21 I think) and any drug use would severely harm their potential. Marijuana is not a "yes". Everyone I know who started using Marijuana when they were an adolescent is now a failure in life.

I'd consider myself a pretty educated person when it comes to drugs, but I still make pretty irresponsible decisions when it comes to them. I wonder if too much knowledge is a bad thing, but I don't think it is. I will just create an environment of openness where they feel comfortable talking to me about drugs. I'd rather be able to help them get through shit, because it's likely i've been there or someone I know has been there. Going through that shit on your own can be pretty shitty i'd imagine. I have no kids btw.

I don't have kids yet, but I will probably treat them exactly how my mother did. My father kept his alcohol use and cigarettes a "secret" for as long as he could, but my mother didn't give a shit. She literally explained how she had done every drug under the sun, shy of heroin. She explained what they all did, why she did them, and if they were any good in her opinion. While she stressed an anti-drug policy, she didn't use fear to keep me away from them. While I can't say I grew up perfect, I think this is a good way to go. Lying only creates mistrust and curiosity on the part of the child.

I agree 100%, I was more referring to when they're of a suitable age and/or start asking questions. I think it's more important to teach responsibility, teach them how to do their own research. Besides, drugs aren't a problem - it's drug ABUSE. Anything can be abused, I can sit here and eat a 10kg bag of salt and I'd be dead. Doesn't mean that salt is evil, just means that I (was) fucking retarded. :yesnod:

Shit... This scientifically means that 100% of people who smoke weed when they are adolescents will be failures in life. Totally not heady vibes brooooooooooooooooooo... :stoned:

I would let them drink and roll at parties or with friends.

OTC highs like DPH, DXM, Benzedrex, Dramamine etc are just part of growing up. :lol:

Weed as long as they don't lose ambition.

I'd let them use weak opiates like Tramadol, Codeine or Vicodin.

I'd allow legal herbs and plants such as Salvia, Kratom, Daminana, Kava, Lions Ear etc, obviously excluding Datura and related plants.

I'd allow prescription stimulants such as Ritalin, Adderall, Dexedrine and Desoxyn.

I'd allow Z-drugs and weak benzos like Valium or Serax.

I'd only allow the classic psychedelics and ketamine.

[][][][][]

NO STRONG BENZOS like Xanax or Halicion

NO STRONG OPIATES like Oxycodone or Heroin

NO COKE/CRACK the shit's the devil

NO METH mostly because of the whole scene around it and not the drug itself

NO RESEARCH CHEMICALS my kids aren't guinea pigs and there's a lot of fucked up research chemicals...

NO INHALANTS need I say more...

NO NEEDLES need I say more...

NO ANGEL DUST stick to K or Dex...

NO NIGHTSHADES need I say more...

You would laugh and say "Haha, it's just a part of growing up." When your kid is fucked up on DPH?

And uh, imm pretty sure there's really not much difference between "weak" opiates and "strong" opiates. Same with benzos.

Adderall is retarded.



All in all that's the worst thing i've read on the shroomery all day

Xanax or halicion one pill can cause a blackout and an incident with valium or serax one pill at most chills you out its a world of difference.  Z drugs actually I'm not sure I've never tried those but all I've seen them do is put someone to sleep.

I don't want my son to know about drugs as long as possible. When he does start asking questions I want to make sure I help him understand chemicals and their reactions on some level, as well as the variety and commonality of them. Like theobromine in chocolate, or cough syrup, alcohol, ect. Basically, "Everything alive is chemical on some level and their bodies react when new chemicals are introduced. Some make you feel certain ways and some people like that. Some of them are really bad for you, and some will help you, but it's not something that's needed in life."

After that stage once he gets older and more knowledgable on his own, if he turns towards drugs and it's obvious I can't sway him, I will guide him in making proper choices and help him procure them if need be. I'd rather help my 17-18 year old grow shrooms than have him out around town looking for tabs of 'maybe acid', fucking woth opiates, or scoring some dirt 'mdma' and hurting himself.

It's a tough subject, and hard to know how exactly I will react and deal with until I get there.

Well, I probably won't have to talk to them about it. They'll learn the way I learned and the way my dad learned.

By watching.

I guess at some point you have to educate them about it at least. I might give a brief explanation of how to identify them and then say something like  "So what is you wanted to be? An astronaut? An engineer? A pilot? A doctor? Well if you do drugs before you turn 21, you are going to destroy your future and you won't be any those. So what is your decision?"

Halcion is some serious shit. I used to take it for sedation dentistry and I'd have long periods of amnesia and blackouts. When I switched dentists to a dentist that only used Xanax and Valium, it was nothing like halcion and wouldn't even phase me. I tried to demand them to use halcion and then I switched back to another dentist that used halcion.
