Wow, you really have issues with the current generation. Jeez. Angry much?
I worked as a kid and still found time to do stupid stuff. Never drugs, but plenty of other stupid stuff (some life threatening).
But seriously, get off your high horse and go look at micro-fiche back "back in the good ole days". Bad stuff happened then, too.

I didn't realize at the time, but I know now why I loved putting model cars together when I was young.

I am just now realizing why I could never put a model together as good as the the picture on the box...

Nah....most of them model cars were hollow on the insides....nothing like the real thing.
You could get 7 or 8 gallon milk jugs in the spare tire area. Only 1/2 gallon milk jugs and quart mason jars would fit under the back seat.
The popularity of the jacked up back ends began with shine running. Once you loaded up the trunk of a car with a jacked up back end, then the car would settle down nicely, so nobody (hopefully) would suspect a thing.

She was wrong and could buy it but... Whippets - Inhalant Abuse Prevention
Who knew?
I did send the same daughter to buy cooking wine a few weeks ago and they wouldn't let her buy that! oops!

Here's more age restricted items in TX: dry ice, some windshield washer fluids, Sharpie pens, though they're req'd in school! Some toilet cleaners, knives with 4" or longer blades. STP! Octane boost.

You hit the nail on the head there Dodge Guy. The parents are too busy coddling the little angels wanting to be their friends rather than their parents. The adults need supervision as much as the kids.
