    Was talking to a friend in Bangalore today and her daughter studies in one of the prestigious university.She claims smoking weed is really common these days in Bangalore.It shocked me!i heard of drug culture in america (no idea how true it is)but scared to know this culture is now even prevalent back in our country..very scared!the pathway some of the current generation is treading...

    Just wanted to share...

    Weed is very prevalent in Bangalore and so are other drugs. I think I said it before in one of the threads.Teenagers In India Vs Teenagers In Usa ???
    Weed again is the gateway to other drugs in Bangalore or in the US.
    I myself am very proud to say I have never done any kind of drug nor do I have any inclination to do. Can't say the same for my DH. He said he has smoked weed when he was doing MS, hasn't tried after that. So has my cousin and her bf (US) other cousins in India too.

    I have been told that children as early as in middle schools are exposed to weed in the US (no exception of private or public schools)
    When I heard this I wasn't married and yet it scared me that I would be in a country where weed is accessible like candies.

    I think we have to start talking about it in the household and tell children weed or drugs are bad. That's the way I see it.
    If we ignore that there is weed/ drug usage in school... our children may sneak behind our back or do it with friends.
    I belive educating them and saying it is bad repeatedly should make a difference....maybe?

    They say that the same boiling water used to harden the eggs, also softens the potatoes.
    Its what is in us that makes the difference.
    Am sure if kids are taught whats good and whats not and in such a way that it is imprinted intheir minds - it helps to some extent.
