    For me it’s real simple: I talk to my kids about drug use and its negative impact on their growing minds and bodies. Like any growing organism, they need good food, fresh air, plenty of water, and exercise. Smoking, drinking, and drugs do not provide any of that, and all I ask of them is to wait until they are older.

      What you’re describing is basically plants. Humans need much more than air, food and exercise. Thats an extremely limited point of view from your side.

      Humans need social and spiritual experiences and substances in the right hands are tools for achieving this. A tool is only as good as the person using it so obviously kids shouldn’t be dropping acid but a responsible adult who had years of human experiences can gain a lot through altered states of mind.
