Own up to the drugs that they took or didn't take in their youth???

There is a second bit to this which is do you think because you took or didn't take it gives you a better right to talk to your children ( and their age) about it all.

A couple of puffs on the whacky tabacky age about 17 - it made me as sick as a dog. Never tried it again and definately no hard drugs. I don't drink much either - I have a fear of not being in control of myself.

I was honest with my 3 children when they asked the inevitable "did you try drugs".

No I was far too scared of getting addicted to anything I started smoking when I was 13...

typed an answer and crashed my computer! lol

nothing, though friends did and I was offered all sorts. Oddly enough despite being a 'mouse' I never felt peer pressure and had no trouble saying no, seeing the effect different drugs had on friends I was certain I didn't need or want !

being an honest wimp, I only tried this once.

I remember it well - one minute I was watching Nastase at Wimbledon in the pub, the next I was back at my house - in the days when "my house" was exactly that - mine.


I was never so scared in all my life - the night seemed to go on for ever. Several showers later (I must have been the cleanest person on the planet that night) and the clock had only ticked on another five minutes.

Well, that was my experience - and not one that I'd ever like to repeat.

Best of luck to you if that's what you care to do - but for me - never again

and I have gone through stages in my life when I was getting abit to fond of the ole drink...so just cut it out for a couple of years but I had 2 glasses of wine the other and really enjoyed them and have been craving a drink since.. lol


I used to lie and say I tried this and that to impress me mates but I never did.

addiction was always the fear, what is worse wacky (illegal ) or alcohol ( legal)

They used to say that wacky led to hard line drugs, but I doubt that ,

Rose, I never bowed to peer pressure. I always said no if I didn't want to go along with what everyone else did. Luckily my children - especially my daughter - were the same in their teen years.
