TBH Chris’s Dad is most likely going to be around the same age group as manaman, sinner and myself, and would thus be well aware of the drugs culture in the UK and Europe, especially as our generation is responsible for it. Most parents of this age group are only worried about their kids health and/or the consequences of being arrested for drugs rather than being dogmatically against them. Even my own Dad accepted in the last few weeks of his life that the only difference between “his drugs” and “my drugs” was the legality or otherwise and even then he did cross the line a couple of times but my Mum discouraged him from getitng too deeply involved in this in the 1970s – I only learned in 2009 they came close to splitting up then and me being taken to Malaysia to be brought up with my nan, and had that happened it would have been a strict Christian upbringing and I almost certainly would have ended up joining the feds or military / government services there to make up for the loss of masculinity/identity from not having a proper Dad and the culture shock of changing countries. Plus ended up being married and expected to produce a family.. Thankfully for everyone this did not happen – as I would still be monitoring websites like this but for the “wrong” reasons…

his dad lives in south africa.
