I agree with most of the comments made. Drugs can be bad, drugs can screw you over on hobbies, free time, friends etc. It doesn't always, but I've come to think that my experiences must not be normal. I've begun to wonder if its because I didn't do any drugs until I was 23 or 24 (except alcohol in moderation). Even so, I've never done drugs without research and careful monitoring. I would never tell people that the should do drugs, just because I can't really identify why my experience has been so different.
