Hey,
So I need a little bit of input/advice here. I wasn't your regular teenager, not as far as substances anyway, and thus I don't understand what is normal and OK. I went to my cousin's place last night and in all honesty, it was a terrifying experience.
I walk up to the squat little place, just to realize that there is no deadbolt, just a towel in the gaping hole above the door nob. I knock, naturally, which is greeted with jeers and a lot of "who knocks"? Inside, I found a small house packed with children. I can't get over how much early college students suddenly look like children to me. Its a bizarre feeling. Like getting older I guess. There was the classic beer pong and a hotboxed back porch. It was more the sight of a pill container with several different kinds of pills in it and the sight of a monetary exchange that really freaked me out. So my question to you is, what is normal? How much chemical experimentation is normal and where is the line? More importantly, how best does one become the concerned and caring vs. the dogmatic and judgmental?
