for the parents here..

have you or would you let you child when say 15 to 16 have a drink or few of alcohol or smoke some weed with you?
Seems to be a mixed bag type of thing. Many of my mates who are parents straight out refuse to do that and thats cool and whatever.
My parents let me have some drinks and some weed when I was 15 but only when they were around and only at the house.
Their logic being if you're going to do it, at least they would be there to know we were safe

Most young people these days will be exposed to alcohol and drugs whether parents like it or not. I'd say it's much better and healthier to consume a little bit with your kids while educating them on possible dangers.
I never had that and consumed alcohol and weed in mass

@SW-User that is basically what I am thinking. At least they are at home with your supervision, and I think not allowing it would only temp them more into trying it elsewhere
