I'm not feeling much righteous indignation at the moment so I'll copy paste and slightly alter some shit I wrote at a point when I did, I was better at this kind of stuff when I was 19 or 20 and therefore passionate.
Also I wrote it about smoking but I edited it here to make it about drugs.
I don't know why people don't TRY drugs. What if you really like them and decide they're worth it? The feelings from drugs are crazy and I dunno man, it seems like you guys are missing out.
I've always been the type to try new things.
It's not that you're missing out on drugs, which are very nice; you're missing out on having the right attitude to life. People are dictating life choices to you. If you've never taken a drug and are never going to, I'm sorry, but I think you're brainwashed. You guys really need to adjust your perspective on living.
Make up your own mind.
Maybe if you've already made up your mind that being physically fit and staying healthy are THE MOST IMPORTANT things in your life it'd be alright never to TRY anything that might be bad for you. Although even then exercise and trying to keep fit might do you in.
If you're a regular Joe like me who is muddling through life trying to decide what to do but who knows that staying at the peak of physical fitness isn't the number one priority, maybe you shouldn't be concerned about doing things you were told were unhealthy.
Either you're concerned about staying alive for as long as possible, or you're concerned about having a good time, and if you're concerned about having a good time, then maybe you should try pleasant things. Having the mindset that rejects experiences out of hand seems like a dull life.
Actually, drugs don't really fuck you up anyway. Regular drug taking fucks you up. One single, responsible experience isn't going to do anyone any harm; vast quantities are needed. Which is why ticking off 'tripping' or 'ecstasy' on your list of life experiences isn't going to kill you.
It's like never trying spicy food or never listening to jazz because other people told you not to.
