I read this article about how teens use the internet to share stories and get advice about "drug use". It also stated, by one young lady used-to-be user, "how clueless parents are". I actually took offense at the "clueless" remark. "Hey, kids, we are NOT clueless"! "Been there, done that."
Though not clueless, granted, "most parents DO NOT have the time to be staying on top of their kids every move to make sure they are NOT screwing up!" Kids do need to take some responsibility for their actions. Even though they may be "kids", "unless they are brain dead, they should have a clue as to what is acceptible and what is straight up WRONG". When parents, these days, are worrying about the price of gasoline, their variable rate mortgage, health care and aging parents, "they just DO NOT have the ability to shadow your every move and decision to make sure it is correct". That DOES NOT translate to clueless!
Anyway, for YOU parents that want to be a little more on "top of it", following is a list of drug "terms/lingo/code" that may help YOU understand what some of your kids are writing or talking about.
Candy flipping: getting high combining LSD and Ecstasy.
Crank: Low quality crystal meth(speed)
Crunked(ed): Getting high and drunk simultaneously(weed and beer
etc)
Dank: Especially strong type of marijuana that is sticky and hairy
DXM: Dextromethorphan hydrobromide. Drug found in over the counter cough medicine which in large amounts, causes hallucinations.
Hotboxed: Smoking herb in a confined space; i.e. a car
Krippy: Highest grade of marijuana
Skag: Heroin
Yay: Cocaine
Hopefully, these terms will help YOU decipher some of your kids communications. Hopefully, YOU, wont need them!
Don't be afraid to pry. Hey, they are YOUR KIDS and RESPONSIBILITY until adulthood. They got nothing to hide, shouldn't be a problem. They got something to hide, should be glad YOU caught them.
