Do you think telling people not to do drugs makes them want to do them more?

I think when you restrict a person from something, their curiosity is piqued.

As humans whether we want to admit it or not, it's our nature to be somewhat inquisitive and experiment. So yes, I think you're right.

I think it just doesn't work on people who already are interested in trying them. You're likely not going to stop somebody being excited about something by telling them its dangerous. I never did things because I shouldn't, I did them because I already wanted to.

I think so. I have never done it though. Every friend of mine and almost every one know is addicted to drugs, even if a little. Sure, I like mysteries but I like keeping myself healthy more.

Idk.... Mom used to always tell me to not do it.. So I didn't.. I mean, I did at one point just to see but it didn't become a habit... But hey, das just my story...┬┴┬┴┤•ᴥ •ʔ/

If you’re a parent, it’s your duty to instill this into their psyche. Neither of my kids did/do drugs— except for the dreaded alcohol which is actually worse,

Yes

Nope, I think it has no effect what so ever.

Not exactly. The [b]way[/b]we forbid themcertainly does. It's more the one sided and inaccurate narrative that goes along with it that is the culprit.
