[QUOTE="Tired and Hopeful, post: 669485, member: 19623"] My geographic area is full of mid-life prescription drug and pot users. Seems to me the way to turn the kids off is to have them deal with a few of these folks (we have rental properties). Their thinking skills are way off...the part of the brain that organizes thoughts and directs actions must be broken. They do not know how to budget or have many basic life skills. Saw this in my own child, so I am not likely to jump on the bandwagon of pot is okay. After a bit of experience with that she broadened out to nearly every drug she could find, including meth. I certainly do not know the answers, but it seems to me that long term drug use of any kind (or short term during the formative years), just short-circuits the brain in a scary way that truly affects the outcome of life for many. I wish our brilliant scientists could come up with some answers. [/QUOTE]
