Lots of discussions about the dangers. Yet when she was hurting she chose to try drugs although she had other options--antidepressants and counselling. So maybe stupid is not the right word but it was not a very intelligent choice that my daughter made. Bad choice, wrong choice, curious choice,stupid choice, really makes no difference. The end result was the same, addiction. She had the addict gene. If she hadn't then she could have been called a normal curious teen who experimented, partied and had fun. Instead she is an addict.
