I wasn't, until it was too late. I won't go into the (in hind-sight) embarrassing things I did in my denial back then (2 years ago). Not that there is a way parents can stop it per se, but I feel knowledge - awareness (is that the opposite of denial or being blind to it?) is the first step in making positive changes with hopefully good results. There are other drugs out there during the high school years than pot and mushrooms. Thanks! God bless. Thank you for sharing this, it is something parents of teens NEED to be aware of.
