5 year olds and dope

A five year old told my darling little angel about dope. I mean dope as in pot not meth, crank or crack. But still, same panic is setting in in me. I do not know what to tell my son about it, or why people do it. I have always been a very open parent but this is the one thing he didn't come to me about. Now I am worried about the other things in his life he isn't going to come to me for. I am worried what ideas he is getting about it or from others about it, but when I ask him he says he doesn't want to talk about it. He is only three years younger then me the first time I smoked a cigarette and only 5 away from the first time I tried pot. I am just worried that he is going to get the wrong idea that it is cool and I am going ot have to kill him and his little friends. well I know the right thing to do is to sit him down and make him talk to me, but that is the wrong idea to give him. I want him to come to me in his own time and not think I am pressuring him. But what if he doesn't? What if he never asks? What is the "right" thing to do?

Well to the best of my knowledge I am going to give him a couple more days. If he comes to me we will talk. If  he doesn't come to me, I will start asking questions. He may not tell me a lot but he will let me in a little which is all I want.
