Many, if not most kids/teens, experiment some type of drug/s... I
tried a variety of drugs and found one or two I liked... note that I
include nicotine & alcohol in my definition of drugs...
"drugs" covers so much... medicine, herbs and/or their psychoactive
ingredients, distilled spirits, etc. It's so stupid to try and have
a "war" on them.
Maybe we should just declare war on ourselves and cover all our war
in one fell swoop. We can code-name it "operation war on life."
