As a former paramedic/critical care nurse I have always been afraid to try anything except alcohol and weed. I saw a 22 y/o guy die from global myocardial infarction (heart attack) after he had done cocaine. We tried to save him but nothing worked.
When I was raising my son I told him what different drugs do to the body so he would know why he should be wary rather than just saying 'don't do drugs'.
