From 17 to 21 my motto was..

If I can smoke, eat, or drink it, I'll have a go...
But I won't snort or inject...
Dope and mushrooms are natural and grow from the earth, they are ok
Chemicals are to be avoided...

Luckily, our late 1970s small town social scene had not yet been infected by hard drugs,
so we were innocently isolated/insulated from that abject despair...

After 21 I completely packed in the druggie culture for my own well being,
because I'd moved to a big city and had my eyes opened to real reality......
