Yeah, that seems like a reasonable guideline to me.
I guess I'm thinking about a sitution where for example, I pick up the kids from a party and their eyes look glassy, or they're licking their lips like crazy, or there's some other sign that they've done something (or that their friends have done something - whew, and that's whole other subject...) a lot heavier than just drink too much and maybe smoke a bit of weed (though the first time I tried it, unbeknowst to me it was laced with PCP). I have to say, I'm scared to death of things like Crystal Meth. I think that certain things aren't "just experimenting" because there is no experimenting with something that addictive. Do I ask? Do I bite my lip (but keep my promise), and totally jump tp conclusions and immediately book a six month family vacation to somewhere totally random and isolated?
