Read my posts again. I don't give a damn if people want to do drugs, just keep the crap away from my kids. Is that such a hard concept for you to comprehend? My philosophy on this is do what ever you want, as long as your actions don't affect my family. How is that hypocritical? How does protecting the people I care about make me a hypocrite?

That's perfectly fine and reasonable. I wish you luck.

The trouble, of course, is that many apply that same ethos to the drug problem, but employ a broad interpretation of what constitutes "affects" and "family," as in even the most tangential elements of illicit drug use effects "all of us." And many here tend to play the "my brother's keeper" angle to the hilt.

Do you ingest caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol on a regular basis? If so, then your crusade against your kids doing any drugs is hypocritical. Also since your son was already an adult at the time, shouldn't he be able to do what he wants as long as he's not living under your roof?

Your 19 year old son isn't, and wasn't "a kid". He was an adult! You simply rode roughshod on him!
And keeping your kids away from "the crap" isn't society's responsibility...IT'S YOURS! Handle it!

You seem to have trouble grasping some concepts yourself.
My philosophy on this is do what ever you want, as long as your actions don't affect my family.
And when a member of your own family's actions effect your family...arrest them.
You're a piece of work! Here's to your retirement. You'll fit right in as a teacher. You're already inculcated so the replication process should be much simpler.
