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 waywe forbid themcertainly does. It's more the one sided and inaccurate narrative that goes along with it that is the culprit.
