In reply to the original post, I dont have a problem with drugs. Personally I feel it is the way people behave when using drugs that causes the problem. If you can enjoy drugs responsibly then I see no reason for the users to lose any respect. The peopl I lose respect for are the ones who let drugs take them over, and become addicted to them.
In my experimental stage, I tried speed, cocaine, weed, and salvia.
My favourite being cocaine, however I only ever used it on special occasions because to be honest its a bloody expensive drug.
Now though, I still have friends who smoke weed, use pills in clubs and drink alot, but I stick to my beer.
At the end of the day, I get the most fun out of a normal amount of alcohol, and it doesnt dent my wallet too badly.
EDIT: no more anything now, im taking my driving test in 3 days - if I pass the only drinking is going to be done by my car!
