My wife and I have talked about this many times. She was the good girl who tried pot once and hated it. I was the opposite. I tried everything and loved it. I really liked LSD and shrooms. Drugs worked out great for me through high school while I was living at home and had everything paid for. I had no responsibility and my parents really weren't involved with me. I did lots of stuff including dealing at some raves, all the way up to my first year in Community College.
It was at my first class that I realized that I had to do some thing to support myself that wasn't going to land me jail. I went from a 2.1 gpa in high school to a 4.0 in college. My mother still comments on how I scare her because I went from one extreme to the other.
My job and life is my anti-drug. There is just too much that I have to and want to do to take the time to do drugs. I had a good time while I was doing it and don't regret it at all, but that period of my life is over. On to new things. I think shrooms are about the only drug I would ever try again if I had the time to spare.
