[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 713467, member: 1550"] Scientific evidence supports this. I have two adopted kids with serious drug use in the family and they were told repeatedly that drinking and using drugs, even to experiment, was okay for some people but not for them. They took it to heart. My youngest does drink socially, but not a lot. She knows it would not anger me if she used pot recreationally but insists she has no interest and never did. Sonic, age almost 24, doesnt drink or use drugs at all and avoids people who would try to pressure him. I am lucky here...and relieved. I do believe a predisposition to addiction is inherited. At the same time it can be controlled or reined in. One way is to not indulge. An addict can also quit. Addicts quit every single day. It is not a fatal condition. There is actually quite alot of hope!! [/QUOTE]
