Yeah I've heard some people say "pot" was mystical. All it ever did for me was f..k me up. But, maybe I wasn't doing it right.
I kid now but in reality I don't reccommend folks who haven't done drugs to do em. I came though it but I know many who didn't. That said I still think pot should be legal for medical purposes. I'm kind of liberal when it comes to other people doing (as an adult) what they want to do if they aren't hurting anyone else.
Bad paraphrase follows:
Letter to Dear Abby from back in the day.
Dear Abby, I'm an adult and I want to experiment with drinking. How can I be sure I want be an alcoholic?
"To be sure you won't become an alcoholic, don't start in the first place.
Not being a hypocrite here since I like a little wine and a little adult beverage now and again with a good meal. Just blabbering. Take it or leave it.
