That is to say, normalization of something that is potentially dangerous is not OK to me. Of course we have to take some risks, people are irresponsible with cars as much as they are with drugs - I would say it's a calculated risk, but most people don't think about it and the odds are relatively low.



If possible can we move this discussion to the other thread? Since this thread is specifically about school & drugs so we have eventually created a duplicate discussion here that is offtopic.

I'll reply here if you post, but keeping things in one thread is more useful.
