Angela's D.A.R.E. Program

I know my kids are still young, but I'm already refining my BIG CONVERSATIONS repertoire for when the time comes.

I think I can handle the drug conversation. I mean it was not really effective for me when I understood the chemistry behind what drugs do to your brain and body. I plan to arm the girls with Knowledge and hope they're smarter than me enough to not destroy their bodies with the most fatal of stuff.

But what about pot? I'm not saying pot is innocuous. I'm just saying that it's about on par with alcohol, except instead of liver disease you're looking at munchie-induced obesity and the health effects therein. The problem is that I can't see the side effect of mass Cheeto consumption being a deterrant for a teenager. Hmmm, let me think...

Well, pot IS illegal. Do kids care about that? Wait! And it makes you temporarily stupid...

And if you combine the two?
