You say exagerate - the harm done by tobacco and alcohol is not exagerated Mobertol

Can't imagine why anyone would carry on doing something they didn't enjoy first time around, just to be a part of the crowd, myself -but it takes all sorts, some are born weaker.

I don't know what age you had your first alcohol - but spirits and beer are not nice to taste to a young person! We learn to like them to fit in with our peers - I now enjoy the taste of lager when I drink it - not often though.

This morning my neighbours son, aged 22 called to say Goodbye, he is friends with both my boys. They hugged, wished him well and all had tears in their eyes -it has put a shadow over my day. He has had to go into a rehab community because of Heroin addiction. he is a lovely lad, artistic and wouldn't hurt a fly but he ended up being drawn into the worst kind of spiral. He is lucky to have the support of his family, friends and neighbours -lots don't have that. When you are talking of real peoples lives and the effect certain things have on all those around them, I wish those of you who speak in defence of these Illegal substances would be be less flippant, stop making out that in some way it's cool do have dabbled and come out unscathed and would basically put a sock in it!

I wonder how this neighbours son takes his heroin? Needles, snorted or smoked - why did this lad become an addict and if he's using needles? What is the thinking behind that - I never understood why people get into using needles.
LSD is not the same as Heroin and people take these drugs for different reasons - so I wish people wouldn't lump all drugs into one category!
