I still remember what my mother said to me when I got a girlfriend. "Use a condom." That was it. No pretending it wasn't going to happen.
As for drugs, my family never liked them. They never told us kids, but my father had an issue with opiates that's cost him his job and medical license. My older brother also had an issue with opiates.
I used to do a lot of research on erowid on drugs. Between my brother and I it was a lot of don't be stupid, do your research on what's safe and what interacts with each other, and stay away from opiates.
For the most part, it wasn't talked about much in my family, other than my older brother my younger brother and I didn't gravitate to them too much or hang with people who did. I ended up getting really into weed for a short time, because that's where my ADHD hyper focus hobby was for a few months. Then I realized I didn't like not being sober that much.
