>Same deal as what the GP is pointing at: you need to train kids to deal with slop,

Sure. That's why I have mine mainlining China White. How will they learn to deal with addictive substances unless they're waist-deep in it?

If you're waist deep in China White, you may as well teach your kids about it, get them as much knowledge as possible, and how to stay clear of it.

Letting choose a different path than you is IMHO the minimum you should be doing.

Maybe back in some earlier era when we all had so many children that 3 or 4 were basically disposable, stupid parenting methods like "letting them learn to deal with this ruinously dangerous vice on their own" would have worked (or maybe there's a reason no one did that then). But for those of you that have just the one or two, this is well beyond reckless. Nothing I could ever say will persuade you otherwise, and even observation of reality won't help since the aftermath will play out for 50 or more years. Good luck, you'll need it.
