Plan B believes parents should experiment with some drugs so they can educate their children about the dangers and effects.
Plan B advises parents to try drugs in order to teach their kids about them.
The singer-and-rapper - who has previously admitted to once smoking heroin but not enjoying it - thinks the best way to educate children about the dangers of drug use is to talk about it from an experienced perspective.
He said: ''One way of educating yourself about drugs is doing them. It's true! You wanna learn about warn your kids off, smoke a spliff, experience it!
''It's unhealthy to reject all drugs. They're in our society, commonly used, you need to understand them to protect your kids from them.''
Plan B - real name Ben Drew - was exposed to drugs from an early age growing up in the rough Forest Gate area of East London, where he remembers drug addicted prostitutes who looked ''like diseased zombies'' who would ask his mother for money.
In an interview with Q magazine, the 'Ill Manors' rapper recalled: ''I'd go, 'Mum, what was wrong with that person?' and she'd go, 'That's a drug addict, that's why you should never do drugs.' So I had an understanding.''

although i dislike when people have 2 first names like this dude.
rude
i've known a few and they're usually douches, oop :S
They're such squares, I can't with them.
the upside is that on the few occasions i dared to come home drunk/rolling/stoned, they believed me when i just claimed to be tired or w/e.
she's a buzzkill
newsflash, teens are going to be exposed and/or try drugs and alcohol so it's better to atleast know what you're talking about with first hand experience. He's not saying that you HAVE to try drugs to teach your kids about the dangers, but it's an added perspective when you are trying to educate your children.
And I can tell you're one of those annoying people who think they deserve a cookie for not trying drugs ever. Good for you I guess. But to be judgmental on people who do is just ignorant on your part.
Not to mention that not all drugs are in the same level. Also you need to realize that just because it's illegal that doesn't mean it's bad. There are plenty of legal drugs that are bad for you as well see: prescription drugs
So long story short, have several seats.
don't kill anyone though lol
I see nothing wrong with what he said
plus the consumption of these drugs doesn't just hurt you - unless it's marijuana that you've grown, it fuels wars in developing countries and aids in human trafficking. just stay away.
Also, did anyone else lol at 'i smoked heroin once but i didn't enjoy it'? It made me think of that brass eye quote 'i took ecstacy once but i certainly didn't swallow'.
Actually all these comments are making me think of brass eye.
do as I say, not as I do!! that never works well
exactly
rme
2. I'm going to assume he doesn't mean hardcore drugs, because that would be really fucking idiotic.
Also in my experience the kids that are really into drugs are kids whose parents don't give a shit about them. Anecdotal, I know, but I worked with juveniles for awhile and most of the kids with substance abuse problems had serious relationship issues with their parents. And in many cases their parents were doing drugs too.
