If you have never used drugs or alcohol, you have no experience of it at all so your "opinion" is not very helpful to you. I'm not saying use drugs or alcohol! I'm just saying that using much energy to be for/against something you know nothing about, would be a waste of energy.

I would look at your life and see if there are opinions like that, where you are spending energy being for/against, liking/not liking something when you haven't tried it, just don't like the "idea" or what you've been taught by someone else (someone else's experience of something).

We need to stay close to what we, ourselves, know. Did you see the movie "Runaway Bride"? The character played by Julia Roberts experimented to see how she liked her eggs cooked. That's how we should approach life.
