If I ever become a parent (god help us all if that happens) I think I'll keep an open mind and open line of discussion on drugs. I'm of the opinion that harsh consequences from parents have little to do with whether kids experiment or not, so might as well be available to them for education and dissuasion through discussion rather than fear.
Keeping in mind I'm speaking from zero parenting experience, so I'm not going to pretend I know better.
