And then where are their parents in all of this? If you don't want your kids listening to these messages - have them turn the channel. My mom and dad never let me watch or listen to things that they thought were offensive or "bad" when I was a kid (and that was before the V-chip and parential controls on the internet!)
HJY targets the 18-34 year old male market - not kids. And I think an 18 year old knows the consequences of using drugs.
Hell, my 10 year old niece knows the consequences of drugs - she know's what Pot is and what it can do to people - she (because she was sat down by her parents) knows that if she gets involved with drugs and alcohol - bad things will happen.
And also - just for the record - Pot is not as deadly as Beer, ciggerettes, and fatty foods. It's also not a "gateway" drug as the government would like people to believe. Is pot dangerious - yep - it can be - especially if one is driving a car or operating machinery when high, but for the most part - it's not as bad as many "legal" subsatances.
Unfortunately the real issue here is that many parents don't sit down and talk with their kids anymore to discuss these things. It's not the radio-station' responsibility to teach these kids - it's the parent's responsibility - and most parents are falling short of that responsibility.
For the record, I was raised in a strict household, where my parents knew of pretty much everything I did (or found out about it in due time) - if I screwed up - I was punished. I was thought right from wrong by my parents and older brothers (whom paved the way by screwing up first and then getting punished, so I learned from their mistakes as well). As much as I hated it back then - I realize now that my parents weren't trying to be my friend - but they were trying to be my parents - and I thank them for being that strict now.
