I only read to page 7 of this thread but it's very informative and a good discusion, I've had a very 'un-sheltered' life. I've known about drugs for my whole life, Seen people doing drugs etc. I'm turning 15 in a few weeks and my dad is starting to let me go out and party etc. I have smoked pot a few times this year (This is my year of experimenting as I'm leaving to work next year.) Tbh I'm very confused but I'm probably going to try Acid, Coke and maybe ecstacy, If you want a good time tbh alcohol can do it, My main reason for smoking dope is for hang over cure or just 'something to do'. I live in a small town where not much goes on so I guess we would experiment a bit more than most guys our age. I'd not reccommend nor rubbish drugs, I do not hate people that use drugs or think any different of them, It's completely their lifestyle choice. If you do your research and find out all the effects, side effects etc and know how to deal with them drugs could be great. Just keep strong, Dont feel pressured.
