To Realistic Aug 8 at 9:44 am: I agree with you 100%. My sons grew up weed was a big problum. Why did thy not use drugs when most of their friends did? Many do today and they are in their forty's. I am no better parent then the one's who'es kids use drugs. I sure don't know why some do and some don't.
