Late addition to the convo here. But SFTS, you are going down a very dangerous path my young friend.

Can't join the Corps if you've done these drugs. I would be very careful about the decisions you make here. They have life-long implications, that you, as a young adult, have yet to grasp.

Anytime I hear this, I know it comes from someone who just doesn't know any better.

Unlike alcohol, which will merely make you sick or kill you of poisoning if you drink too much, these other drugs can offer a fate worse than death. If you overdo it on hallucinogens like LSD, mushrooms, or PCP, you can have a premanent alteration of your perspective making you unable to determine reality from your imagination. You will live in a nightmare of paranoia and fear. Heroine is instantly addictive. Your body chemistry adapts to require it like food or water. You will be unable to even think about anything else until you get your fix. As for meth: http://www.drugfree.org/Portal/DrugI...s/photo_3.html

Trust me on this. Drugs are bad, m'kay.

I won't argue with on the reefer. That should be legalized. For one reason alone: As young people, we are told that ALL DRUGS will kill you and are evil and yada yada. Kids try pot and realize the truth: it ain't that big of a deal. Then kids think that other drugs are the same, "If pot is safe, then other drugs must be okay too". They are not the same. The only reason that pot is a gateway drug is because the government has made it that way by exagerating and lieing to the public.

If you want to recreationally use, stick with alcohol, kava, and pot.

If you move on to hard drugs after you are properly informed, you deserve every bit of misery that awaits you.

Good luck with your choices on this. They will follow you for life.
