I did drugs for awhile.
It was great. Opened me up to new possibilities, gave me a good experience.
And then I stopped. It wasn't an issue. I didn't kill anyone, I didn't neglect my life too badly, nothing bad happened. I didn't get addicted and was capable of moderating my intake and finally stopping all together.
It probably helps that I only got into heavily when I was 24. And I stopped for good shortly after turning 25.
Anyway the people with horror stories are always the loudest, and the horror stories truly are horrific, but I think they have more to do with the issues of the person than with the drugs. People can and will abuse ANYTHING if they are unbalanced and unhappy - from food to videogames to meditation itself.
