Stuff some adults don't want
you to know about drugs
Adults who have used the illegal drugs have an
extremely hard time telling the truth to their child or other children
about their drug experiences.
This is because the truth is that for most people drugs were
great. It was fun. Sex, food, and music was great. Most of us were happier and
more carefree immediately after we took the drug than the minute before we took the drug.
Back then we had no idea that we could have an even purer, sustainable high
through intercourse (in particular the experience of being. You are able
to experience being with another once all withholds, perpetrations, and acknowledgments have been
verbally communicated).
On the other hand, the
vast majority of experimenters (former teens now 25 or older) stopped doing drugs for some
valid
reasons. These former users, possibly your parents, are afraid that you will get carried away,
loose your motivation (or your ability) to get good grades, and that you
will continue doing drugs. They know from experience that though it was
fun, it had some undesirable effects.

Parents are caught in a paradox.
Paradox: A paradox exists
when both points of view are equally true and not true.
Parents can't communicate, "No
drugs" without their hypocrisy revealing itself. And so, communication
doesn't take place.
Parents have two big
concerns:
1) That you will become
so addicted that it will ruin your motivation to succeed.
With few exceptions those
who use marijuana daily will tell you that it effects one's drive and
ambition. Rather than striving for excellence a user will succumb to mediocrity.
Worse yet, grass-smoking parents make it difficult for their children to pursue
excellence so energy-sapping is the space.
99.9% of the fantastic
business ideas, poems, and music, arrived at while high do not survive the
light of day. That is to say, a poem written while high is not as
inspiring when read the next morning.
For the majority of users
marijuana triggers introspection and hedonistic gratification. Typical activities involve sitting on a
couch at home talking or snacking, or listening to music, or out dancing,
as opposed to studying, attending county council meetings, or taking part in actively
bettering the community.
2) That it may do some
irreversible damage to your brain.
Adults fear the economic
consequences of an entire generation of teens who might denounce
Capitalism. They are concerned about who will pay for their child's medical costs
when they have lived a life of no health insurance, no savings for
retirement, and zero participation (from apathy) in community politics.
Adults picture a future
in which an entire generation of teens really really drop out and do drugs for 20
to 30 years straight. They know
that this is a possible scenario. Why in the heck would any conscious intelligent
ethical person want to play their business/school/war, get ahead at the
expense of others, games?
Adults picture that the
hospitals would be full of sick people who have lost their motivation for most everything,
people who have let their diet and
immune system collapse and have no money to pay for their own health care
or that of their children's. In particular your parents envision having to empty
your bedpan and wipe the drool from your mouth for life.

Most parents break
their own laws of choice so they are not conscious about the karma of
their children breaking a drug law.
Seldom do you hear a
parent saying,
"Listen, drugs are great
but please don't until you are 18 and have your own house. If you do drugs
and then the microwave oven breaks we can't be sure it wasn't a
consequence of our breaking our agreement to support community laws. We can't be
sure it wasn't because we covertly communicated that we'd allowed you to
do drugs as long as you didn't get caught by us or the police. Here's the
deal. If you do any drug at all,
that's the same as you telling us that you no longer want to live with us.
We will throw you out, without financial support, immediately, and there
will be no way of coming back until you have been drug-free for 6 months. We have no intention of playing the drug
game with you. Is this clear? Do you have any questions or doubts that we
mean what we say? Good. We have an agreement then?"
The above is an example
of communicating with intention. When delivered by a person whose
reputation is that they tell the truth, keep their agreements, and mean
what they say, it gets gotten. The intention (the end result) is clear for
all to see up front at the creating of the agreement.
