As far as I am concerned, if you want to do drugs that is your business. The only rule being that you don’t make it someone else’s problem.
And that last part is the catch.
Chances are you will have people who care about you (no matter your personal opinion on the matter) who will be upset at any harm you may cause yourself or others.
But from my perspective, it is very easy for someone to go from having a good time to being a problem.
No matter what people think, I do not do drugs having no need for such a crutch to let loose my imagination (obviously I do wonder what I might create under the influence, but then I feel I would not be a part of the creative process so what is the point)
My reasons for not doing drugs is simple…
1. I do not like needles! So don’t even think about offering me one because you will not like the response if you don’t get the hint.
2. I do not smoke! And for the record, being around marijuana gives me a headache.
3. One of the ingredients drugs may be cut with, I am allergic to…fatally allergic to.
4. Far too many druggies and alcoholics have threatened violence against me and those I care about…
The excuse “It isn’t me, it is the [insert substance abuse] at fault” is just that, an excuse.
The fact that anyone uses that excuse says it all.
If you are going to do drugs or drink, know how it affects you (and not just how you think it affects you) and know when enough is enough.
And remember, whatever you do affects others.
I can prove that by simply drawing…and that is just using a pen.
Some drugs are illegal for a reason, some are legal…either way, miss-using/abusing drugs is a potential recipe for disaster.
Be responsible for your choices whatever they happen to be.
