"Just say NO..."

As far as I'm concerned, drugs are the bane of our society. When I was growing up, drugs were just starting to be used recreationally. We can thank the Beatles and the Rolling Stones for making it 'cool' to the Woodstock generation, along with most rock groups that followed. And look at America now... Compare the World War II generation to Generation X. It's a sad story...

When did people stop caring? About themselves? About others? Why is getting high always the answer? I've never done recreational drugs; our high school health classes made a huge impression on me. We only have ONE brain, (and one life.) We had better take care of it. Personally I cannot afford to destroy any more brain cells.

Last week on ABC News they reported that the Mexican drug cartels are making heroin 60% more powerful and going into junior highs and selling small amounts for $5 marketed in Twilight bags... How wicked is THAT?! They said once your hooked on heroin (and with that stuff, it doesn't take long) you only have a 10% chance of getting off of it.

Why not go through life sober? It's been done for thousands of years, and they survived. I've heard that Meth actually changes the brain forever. It was recently on Yahoo that Marijuana use might be causing Schizophrenia. And they are also seeing a link between drug use and becoming Bi-polar. Every action has a reaction. There ARE consequences.

I'm not against drugs/meds for sick people. And if Marijuana helps sick people, so be it. Let the doctors prescribe it, and the pharmacies fill it.

But drugs are for sick people - ONLY!!
