I have a son of my own, and my partner has two boys. While it's wonderful to see them growing and learning we both worry constantly about what sort of society they are going to reach adulthood and independence in.
My partner's oldest boy was at an impressionable age when her ex became involved with drugs - it lead to her and the older boy being physically abused. He's settled now, but understandably still has the odd moment. I don't care what people say, there is NO such thing as soft drugs, and I think it's one of the most dangerous and misleading terms in use. Any type of drug seems to sow misery, not just for the user but also for all the friends and family involved who have to live with the consequences.
