Reply #30: Considering the way my parents freaked out at a neighbor's "pot party"

[Strawman]

Umm. No. I'm certain they never tried any recreational drugs.

It was a neighbor down the street's party and someone lit up a joint. Suddenly it became the infamous "pot party" in family lore. My parents left immediately in fear and horror lest they succumb to reefer madness.

My parent's aren't generally uptight like that, but when it comes to drugs, they have ideas right out of a 1950's high school film strip.

But honestly, personally, I don't even like the idea of adult kids smoking pot with adult parents. I had a gf like that. Too often those parents seem too worried about being cool and being the kid's buddy and not good parents. At least that's how it seems to me. I'm sure that's not always the case, but as a matter or personal taste, I like my parents a little on the dorky side.
