If you ask me, drugs are a BAD idea. I mean, if it's not you, then it's not
you. I would rather be ME and be sitting in a basement, rather than some
powder, effectively turning my body into a slave.
Also, drugs are getting to be the past. Ask a group of junior-high
schoolers about drugs. 9 out of 10 will say that they're a mistake. As for
tobacco and alcohol, that's border-lined, but many are anti-tobacco, but
alcohol.... that's kind of next-generation. We're getting there.

If you ask me, it is better to have a social life and do drugs (though
I am firmly against drugs, tobacco, alcohol, and firearms) than not
do drugs and sit for years in the basement without seeing the light
of day. It seems to me that since we all die anyway, might as well
enjoy. I am not brave enough to take that approach, so I sit at my
computer all day (when I am not at school-I am in 9th grade).

What exception? In high school I actively collected science fiction
books since computers weren't affordable yet to a high school kid -- I
wore a slide rule on my belt because (1) I used it (2) that honestly the easiest way to carry a Pickett and (3) the
HP-35 came out in my
junior year of high school priced about $395.00 more than I had on
hand.
