You know how you always say to your kids - "if you want to do some drugs or do something stupid, come and talk"? Well... it happened. I mean its great she did come to me, but its sort of a talk you somehow wish never happens. However I was prepared. I also have quite some experience from my youth.

Here is the story. My elder Daughter (19) came to me yesterday and said she wants to try LSD this weekend with her friends and came to talk about it. Ok, now do I do the thing right (do the "don't do any drugs talk"), or do the right thing and tell the truth. That if you do it properly its actually a nice amd enhancing experience.

Quick math and honesty wins. I reminded her that all drugs are dangerous, that there are risks and of course as a parent I'd wish she would not do it. However I was 19 too and I did the same thing and you need to make sure you have the right set and setting and the right people around.

Im still not sure if I should not go the other path, but realistically I have no control. She moved out this June, she is grown up, starting university and is... a great person. After all she did the right thing coming to talk to me and i think deserved my honest opinion.

Summer at her age full hippy style is one of the best memories I have till this day and i would be a big liar trying to say it was a sober summer.
