Good day fellows. Quite recently I became father of a cute baby.
I used to have a lifestyle of ambitious/over using of different recreational and psychedelic drugs. I drank a lot too. Then I met my girl and I slowed down. That was good. The day she told me she was pregnant, I quit using anything, so we could grow mentally and spiritually in the same pace towards parenthood.
Now we have a nice 15 days old new friend.
I've often wondered what would be the healthiest way to raise a child, from the perspective of drugs. In my experience, a too strict attitude towards drugs from the parents to the child, will decrease the possibility of an open, honest discussion based on values instead of accusations. This would mean that I (until a certain limit) accept the child's choices to use substances.
I also believe that accurate, constructive information can change a persons attitude towards drugs. I'd rather inform my child, when he asks, about effects, uses, risks, etc. of different drugs, so if he wants he can make a well-based decision.
However, I don't want to stimulate the interest of the child too crazily. I obviously don't want to be the driving force behind his psychoactive compound consumptions.
As I see it now, I will use some drugs every now and then. I will try not to do this in front of my child too much. And in a cautious, reasonable matter.
What are your ideas on raising a child, in relation to psychoactive explorations?
(I must admit that the idea of ever smoking DMT with my child seems very beautiful
)
