A Shame,,,
Unlike the incident down in Georgia made famous by Charlie Daniels, the Devil appears to have won this round.
Also used in Ketamine infusion clinics to treat depression under controlled conditions at ~$400/dose.
People who play musical instruments are extra smart?
That’s probably why professional musicians are so not into all the various forms of self destructive hedonism.
Oh, wait...
That is why you set the barriers very high. Allow no drinking without personal supervision. Marijuana usage punished like it is Heroin. Pre-16 YO dating not allowed. 16-18 YO under strict supervision of dating. Early curfews, check out their friends parents, disallow sleepovers you cannot be sure of...etc. Kids are going to break the rules, let them do it by smoking a little pot or drinking some beer. If you allow pot and drinking, they will step over a different line...Cocaine, meth, heroin etc.
"When you work like a man you can drink like a man" was one of his sayings.
My mom hated it and thought I was being corrupted. But those were some of my most pleasant memories with my dad - who was otherwise very strict and not much for words. He did say more than one time that if he ever caught me messing around with drugs, he'd throw me out of the house and disown me. I think he was dead serious too.
Those early beers satisfied my curiosity about alcohol and I never had anything to do with drugs. And my school was a hotbed for drugs of all kind. I stayed away from them and the kids that used them.

She was trying to play “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” when a string broke and went up her nose and into her brain.
You share the best memories, Sam. This is another one. Thank you.
Good parenting on your dads part.
You can be a very good parent and your kid still gets high.
You can be a very bad parent and your kid stays clean.
But these are exceptions. Parents need to own their authority and demand and enforce good behavior from their kids. It’s not a cure all but it makes a big difference.
CK binge ODs are usually involve tolerance developed by prior abuse of the same drugs or very similar drugs.
I’ll rephrase that. CK binge ODs usually happen after tolerance developed by prior abuse of the same drugs or very similar drugs.
17 can be a volatile age...sad.
Just an example of why folks under 21 (25 really) shouldn’t vote and why Dems want kids to vote - mental ;processes not fully developed and the propensity to succumb to peer pressure is very high as societal socialization finishes the first stage of social development...fitting in...
the propensity to succumb to peer pressure is very high
