drugs

Had a weird conversation with my dad over dinner tonight. We were watching the news on tv, and it was talking about the Bali 9 trial yada yada and how the australian government tipped off the authorities in Bali. Then my dad says: "Why can the federal police help catch drug smugglers in Bali yet do nothing about drug dealers on the streets in Sydney!!!" He was reffering to an ACA bit about drug dealers. So then my dad says to me:

"Craig, have you been offered to buy drugs from people? At parties?"
Me: "Geez not to buy no!"
"But have you been offered any drugs by anyone?"
"Sure I have!"
"And what do you say to those people?"
"Let me have some! hahahaha!!!"
"Hey stop kidding around"
"Who's kidding?"

At this point my dad is looking away and I'm looking at my mum and she's half laughing. Cos I've sorta admitted to my mum that I've smoked marijuana, and she couldn't care less, cos she's cool. At this point I feel I have to stand up for myself:

"Dad I don't think you know what drugs are"

I was thinking of other philosophical stuff to say. I should've said something like this, but I didn't:

"Dad, there's a lot of grey area in drugs. Like with alcohol (which is also a drug, duh) people can abuse them and enjoy them. Having smoked it a few times I didn't feel any addiction towards it. It was interesting when I smoked it, but I wish I wasn't drinking at the time. It didn't lead me on to harder drugs like heroin. I'd never do heroin or anything needle pointy like that. And I got drugs from people I trust. From people I've known for years. Yeah Dad I've done drugs, big fucking whoopee."

So I'm guessing my dad hasn't done anything as cool as doing drugs. Oh well. He saw the Beatles and Louis Armstrong at Festival Hall. I spose that's pretty cool. But geez my dad is so clueless about drugs.
