Drugs, drugs, more drugs and the inevitable slap from reality

I remember the day when ‘weed’ meant a dandelion and a ‘drink’ meant a glass of water.

Those days are over.

Now when you hear about weed and drinks it’s not usually a positive thing. These days, everybody tries all sorts of things. Quite frankly, I’m sick of it.

How dumb can you be people? Weed, crack, or alcohol, I don’t care who you are, don’t do it. “Everybody does drugs!” Biggest lie in America. I’m not doing drugs. My friends aren’t.
Yeah, I am aware that, something like 70% of high school students tries alcohol. I bet every single one of those kids would say “I got peer pressured into it!” Ha! Peer pressure. If you can’t handle a little peer pressure, then you have some growing up to do.
Don’t be afraid to say no. Trust me. From the point of view of someone who has never drank or smoked in her entire life, you’ll be ok. If those people really are your friends, they’ll respect your decision. If they don’t, gimme a call.
Our drug- free friendship awaits.
