Hi there. This is the "Dad" of the podcast. My full time job involves working with youth in the public school system who made a high risk choice with drugs or alcohol. After hundreds upon hundreds of conversations with youth, I think parents would be shocked as to who is engaging in substances and who is not. It is more common than you think, especially VAPING. What I've found is that most kids try it because they are curious about it and their main sources of information is from their peers. Parents, if your child is twelve years or older, you definitely need to have discussions around drug use because whether or not they are having the discussion with you, they are still having the discussion. Talk to your Kids. It's never too late to start having conversations.
