I'm afraid I have a very serious objection to it. Parents using this stuff teaches kids that the Law is optional, no matter which locked cupboard they keep it in. Go and campaign for liberalised drug laws if you want, but teaching children they can disregard any rule they disagree with is deeply irresponsible.

I am not suggesting that parents use these substances in front of or around
their children. Nor am I campaigning for anything I was just expressing my personal point of view.
The new generation of parents have grown up surrounded by "recreational" drugs. I not talking about about hardened heroin users or crack heads here but it is fact that every Friday and Saturday literally millions of people in there teens/twenties/thirties using ecstacy/Cannabis/cocaine.
And there are two choices for those of this group that are parents. Either stop using it - Preferable but unlikely.
Or if you want to continue using it ensure that you do it away from the children and keep the substances away from the children.
This is no different to
1) keeping the drinks cabinet locked
2) keeping the medicine cabinet locked
3) not smoking in front of kids.
