Listen to Sam Harris' first podcast,
Drugs and the Meaning of Life.
"I have two daughters who will one day take drugs. Of course I will do everything in my power to see that they choose their drugs wisely. But a life lived entirely without drugs is neither foreseeable, nor I think desirable.
I hope they someday enjoy a morning cup of tea or coffee as much as I do. If they drink alcohol as adults, and they probably will, I will encourage them to do it safely. If they choose to smoke marijuana I will urge moderation. Tobacco should be shunned, and I will do everything within the bounds of decent parenting to steer them away from it. Needless to say if I knew that either of my daughters would ever develop a fondness for methamphetamine or crack cocaine I might never sleep again.
