I would add another possible reason for less drug usage, and that is that there are kids out there who are hurt by the addiction they are seeing in their own homes. This creates a distaste for it, even as it creates a reason for doing them (to check out from their hard to handle home life). I believe at the least this creates a desire to do something different. If parents are alcoholics, then going out and being an alcoholic like them isn’t as desirable. But using substance abuse to deal with life… that is unfortunately a lesson taught by example, and so often they will pick up SOME form of substance abuse anyway as they haven’t had a good home example of how to cope with life’s struggles in healthy ways.
