So lately I have been thinking about everyone and anyone who has tried drugs (any kind of recreational drugs: pot, E, shrooms, acid, etc). Why is it that every person who does or has tried one or more of these drugs seems to think they know everything about it? When I ask about the physical and mental side effects of drugs I get a different answer from everyone. Not to mention that when I tell one person about another person's account on the harmful effects of specific drugs, they immediately disclaim their theories (ex: one person says shrooms make your brain bleed, the next person says shrooms do not damage your brain at all, another person says shrooms poison you). One thing I have learned is this: you can't trust anyone to tell you the truth behind what drugs can really do to you because know one really knows. Nobody has ever told me a legitimate source of where they get their information from (and no, your best friend isn't a credible source, and even websites like wikipedia can be sketchy at best). So I have a question: why act like you have a monopoly on the knowledge of drugs? Maybe we all have to consider that drugs are outside our realm of understanding (because they are magical!) because everyone will give you a different version of what they think. Or maybe drugs users need to all come to a unanimous agreement on what drugs can really do to you, instead of always disagreeing with each other.
Jojo, I expect you to tell me something wise!
