Ha ha, I just asked the younger one if he’d ever experimented with drugs? ‘why are you asking that?’ he replied. So I mentioned this thread.

Ok, no tattoos or piercings 😀

They don't always tell us what they are doing! 😉

You must be doing a good job, at least he didn't lie to you.

Good for all of you, Drew. Spares you a lot of worrying, often for no reason.

You may want to re-read the aforementioned statements made torunn. Especially 4th post down.

I admit to having tried smoking, but decided nail-biting was cheaper and there were more exciting things to spend money on.
Tattoos and piercings are pointless ways to make yourself uglier than you were.
I've never been tempted to try any form of illegal drug, and avoid any people who do. If any of them were legalised I still wouldn't do it. I'm even reluctant to use paracetamol (acetaminophen).

All that doesn't make me a wowser, just a person who prefers not to be cool. I don't own any Apple toys either.

Me too and I blame it on a Cheech & Chong movie I watched.

Maybe you were too busy being involved in some sporting activity? I spent years taking my two along to anything they wanted to try; swimming, football, badminton, rugby, golf, Taekwondo, life-saving swimming classes, Duke of Edinburgh award. I also told them from a young age that they would never be part the group that hung around the local street corners.

Here (Colombia) it's a legal requirement, as it is in most if not all of S. America, what good it does I would say about as good as the UK entering Eurovision.

I once caused a family episode at a Halloween party when I took a cigarette from my older sister and took a couple of puffs. My mum hit the roof, and of course blamed my sister.

I was 30 years old. (No joke).
