How would a parents drug use affect a child biologically?
Posted by adminFeb 28
If a parent(father not mother) has used hard drugs such as speed, cocaine, crystal meth and has abused alcohol and experimented with marijuana how would this affect the child biologically?

It can be in the father’s genes which can cause the kid to naturally have a tendency to experiment with these drugs. It’s not a fact that they will experiment with these things just more likely!

The child may be more susceptible to addiction themselves. A psychological effect of dealing with an addict father can also be just as damaging. He needs a drug addiction rehab treatment for the good of his family. Hope these provide some more information:
