According to a new study, it may not be a good idea . . .

Honesty's the best policy right?

At least that's what we all try to teach our kids, right?

Well according to a new study that doesn't apply to drug use!

Apparently a lot of parents who tried drugs when they were younger decide to tell their kids about it in order to explain their regrets and their desire to not have used them in the first place. However a new study says that's pry not a good idea.

According to researchers at the University of Illinois, children of parents who disclose past alcohol, drug or tobacco use are more likely to have more positive views about drugs than those whose parents don't. Even if the parents talked about their regrets about drug use.

Of course a lot of this might be because those kids pry think their parents will be less disapproving if they try drugs, figuring if their parents did it, it can't be too bad.

What about you?
