People, take my story I tell countless times.
I was one of those kids from when I was born (lol) all the way up to the middle of 8th grade who went, "I am NEVER going to even TOUCH any kind of drug".
Then, I gave in and did.
I have been enjoying weed for a year now, I've been educated, and realized that, like yuki said, all that stuff is just propaganda and the media/government wants you to believe that it's like the loving cause for AIDS or something lol.
I would never touch any other thing, though.
