Maybe in another generation or two? ;) v.u: heheh you’re right but somehow I don’t see MDMA being legalized anytime soon. Maybe in another generation or two? ;)

Some people see things in black and white i.e. all drugs are bad, anyone who tries drugs is stupid, they kill people etc. However, it simply doens't work like that! Yes, drugs have MANY negative effects and too much of anything can never be a good thing. But people are always going to experiment, and there is nothing wrong with trying things in moderation. I think rather than using scare tactics, it's better that people are educated about these issues. I agree with the hypocrisy of society believing "all drugs are bad" yet condoning excessive alcohol use. Sounds like your Mum is pretty cool though, and has an open mind which is great to hear! :) I think an open, honest discussion is always better than a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to these issues (sex, drugs, alcohol etc).

But then again, ppl do that every day with alcohol and tobacco. And yeah, the scene they showed wasn't entirely accurate (for one, the onset time isn't that quick) but at least they portrayed it straight on. Dina: you brought up a good point about a kid seeing his elders drinking. There's a government ad here showing how kids pick up their drinking habits from watching their parents. Though the laws are still hypocritical. As for kids, they will experiment but hopefully when armed with the right knowledge, they'd be smart enough to make the right decision. stu: hahah see if you knew enough about the drug, you’d definitely know it’s not wise to over-indulge.

He mentioned a time my dad had thought he smelled a skunk in San Francisco, but we all soon realized it was marijuana. Jack called it a "bad drug." I gave him a lecture about how alcohol is just as bad, but it's socially acceptable, legal, etc. I personally am not fond of any drug and hope Jack doesn't go beyond mild experimentation. But I dislike the hypocritical aspect of it all. He sees his father, grandfather, and uncles drinking. I think it's wrong for him to see this as totally normal, but marijuana as being "bad". Anyway, I'm glad you're having honest discussions with your mom. I think that's awesome. I don't know much about ecstasy. It sounds scary to me, but that probably just comes from my ignorance. And I'm just usually not into mild-altering substances. My mind is messed up enough ; ) Jack and I just talked about this yesterday!
