And I am not trying to do otherwise.

I guess I may immature long-since-teen, but I just don't see what the big deal is either way. Do it or don't... in the end it does not really matter and I if one needs scare mongering to keep from their decisions... Plus, I feel uncomfortable how people tell Indie to drop her friends because they smoke weed as if it was the worst thing in a friend.

There are "legal" ways to get high, meditation and astral projection and all the jazz... that is hella mind altering... so there are ways to achieve that without substances.
