Moms, Tell Your Kids If You Have Done Drugs

Moms who have used drugs may be doing their teens a favour by admitting to it, University of Alberta research shows. A survey of 3,530 Alberta youth Grades 7 to 12 revealed that teens were more likely to use drugs if they knew that their mothers had used drugs but did not pressure their kids to avoid the practice.
