Drug use by parents generally constitutes child abuse.

As a recovering crack addict I know of what I speak.

Middle class SO.Cal. family, good income, reasonable education, started in high school with occasional alcohol and pot use. 70s experimenting with LSD, mushrooms Peyote. In the 80s, cocaine use Valium and vitamin Q. Downward spiral all through the 80s and the witness to this journey was our son starting at 4. He was well fed never neglected (accept emotionally) but at the age of 10 he was the only adult in the family. In the end, an 8 year crack habit that ended in the closet (6 day run) of our $1,000,000 house. Wouldn't wish that on anyone. Jail, institutions and Death. In 1981 two friends and I decided that crack was the devil and sacrificed our crack pipes to the surf gods. 10 years later I was in a hospital, K was in jail (12 to 15 for sales) and F was dead for cocaine poisoning.

Abused as children in alcoholic families may be one of the nations biggest problems for young adults and you would choose to add to that. Ridiculous.

Only legalize pot? The drug world is a culture of all drugs. When I was using I never met a user that said, I just smoke pot, I'll pass on the line. Buttons , I'll pass but I'll take the lude. Pot dealer with no other drugs. It's was possible but generally rare. Drugs is drugs.
At my end it was Corona, crack and Ding Dongs and valiums to come down so I could work the next day. Sound rare, guess again.
