Should Parents Be More Concerned About Weed or Prescription Drugs When It Comes to Their Children?
Question by Joe B: Should parents be more concerned about weed or prescription drugs when it comes to their children?
In today’s society from your personal opinion, which is more popular and which should the government be concerned about?
Clearly in the past it was weed, do you believe this should remain the focal point of the governments propaganda or should they shift to prescription drug abuse?
I know when I was a kid we had anti drug lessons in health but I don’t recall anything regarding prescription drugs.

Both are bad for kids. Weed is not harmful for non-depressed adults, but it interferes with brain development in the young. Abuse of prescription meds are more dangerous for kids from a purely medical standpoint. So for kids, it’s pick your poison.
Personally, I think prescription drugs are the ones parents should be concerned with, as I have never heard of anyone dying from weed. But drugs, yes. They are much stronger and have a much higher chance of overdose. Weed? No. Prescription drugs are recently comming into abuse, so that is probably why they were not brought up when you took health class, the drug abuse portion.
I am much more worried about the abuse of prescription drugs than weed. But I have already seen a very big push against prescription drugs in the last 10 years by the local law enforcement
I do not use marijuana or will I allow my kids to use it. but whats the worst that can happen, they eat all the doritos?
while prescription drug overdose can be alot more fatal
prescription drugs are far more worse then weed. you cant get physically addicted to weed. with weed its a mental thing and know ones ever over dosed off weed. Prescription drug abuse is a big problem because there available in most homes keep them under lock n key and once your addicted you will have a long hard road to recovery.
Some prescription drugs can be very bad for you. Weed is nearly harmless. Parents should be more “worried” about alcohol than weed, as it is worse for health. And, unless you have a kid that could start looking to drugs for answers, then they need not worry at all.
What parents should worry about, is educating their kids, whether it is about history, religion, or drugs. Once both the parents and kids are educated on the subject, sobriety and weed both look like pretty good options. Occasional alcohol. Maybe one or two times hallucinogens. None of this will hurt you.
