#straight edge throughout middle and high school and stuff. and I'm glad I'm a trusted source for younger people who know my harm reduction

We have got to get harm reduction in schools. We have got to get parenting classes that teach how to interact with your child/their friends' substance use. Like how many kids are exposed to chaotic drug use every day? Maybe I just grew up outgroup in a big urban area but my peers were ODing by middle school. More of them were punished, carcerally or otherwise for seeking help for that or far less medically serious reactions to drugs. Like idk. Your children are doing drugs and your children are guessing how to do drugs from media and word of mouth which is where we get people doing whippits straight from the can or calling 911 and having the cops come to a bad edible trip or thinking their dad's ODing when he's just nodding out. Like auuugh we need intergenerational harm reduction NOW
