I didn't know telling him not to do it was promoting it's use.

I simply refuse to patronize when talking to younger people about drugs. Not all drugs are equal in terms to detrimental effects. When adults and the media try and paint pot use as the same as cocoaine or heroine, the kids don't believe their claims and therefore don't trust anything they say when it comes to drugs. Also, admitting to past drug use doesn't invalidate an opinion to NOT do them. If anything, it gives the former user more experience and credibility in the subject.

If government agencies and parent groups would just be honest about each drug and have an real conversation about them, they would get much more respect from teenagers and more would listen to them.
