Nowadays I just smoke the peace pipe and drink good wine.  That keeps me happy.

I agree its a learning experience, A few years back I did everything & I have learned from it. I dont even smoke now & only drink a couple of Guinness' every once in a while. I dont believe Im missing out.
I understand why drugs are attractive, why people use them & what they do.
While I was trying to quit (not the easiest thing I've ever done) I studied everything about drugs I could find, drug culture still fascinates me. I feel sorry for people who believe the "Just say no" bullshit cause I reckon drugs are just as much a part of modern society as hotdogs or Adidas & if you dont try & you dont know what it is like - "Who the fuck are you to tell me not to take this or that when you dont know what the fuck youre talking about??"
Drugs are not new, make no mistake the drugs industry is FUCKING HUGE & I think its impossable to eradicate them because no matter how much you deny it - theyre part of us, theyve been around since before your grandparents & theyre not going away.
I think the best approach is education, less people will die if they know what the fucks going on in thier minds/bodies instead of secretly taking a nondescript pill in the shadows & wigging out & ending up in the hospital or worse. Also education for me at leist was the best tool I found to stop taking when I decided enough was enough. But alas our governments (especially the American, no offence intended) think censoring & pusing something disagreeable into the shadows will make it go away.
