I'm gonna give my own "little Public Service announcement" here. It's mainly to "kids" to keep off "Drugs".

I drink, used to smoke alot of pot. I don't smoke pot now, but I see neither a problem if done in "moderation".

In my life, I've hung with "Rock stars", and alot of others. I am set up at an event every week. I meet "more" people then you could even imagine. I am with "Bikers, Tatoo artists", like everyone all the time.

Often, I am hanging with people that do "Meth, Coke, Heroin" or whatever.

Personally, I have "NO PEER" pressure. The way I look, the way I act. My life (which they know about if I am around) Nobody tries to "pressure" me in anything. Their mostly like "we offered Gary, he said no".. so that's over. Those "big drugs" have been offered to me "free" way more times than I could count. I just say "thanks, but no". See, I look like I've been around.. and I have been. But I always "refused" the major drugs.

Younger "kids" are my worry. "Peer Pressure" is a terrible thing. I've often been at places, someone with "Meth" offers to give me some. I simply say "no" and he won't push it. Yet I watch the same person go to some "teenage, or 20 something" kid.. and offer. They say "no", and he "pushes" He's like "Come'on, Come'on" just give it a "try"! Keeps on pushing.

Younger people, are "very easy" to influence. "The Meth" dealer is NOT like their parents. They listen to him. If I am there, I can tell him/her "don't do it dude" (and I won't have a problem saying it). I won't have a problem with the "pusher" either. Kids are "looking" for an "influence", and me telling them NO.. works as a "deterrent". Only because there wouldn't be anyone saying anything against what I said. The problem is, there "isn't" always someone like me around when they get "offered". I wish there was more like me. I won't be against "pot or beer" (if your cool with it). I will be against the "hard drugs".

If you want to "drink some beer", smoke some pot". I have absolutely no problem with that. Don't drink and drive, just be cool. If you "get into" the bigger drugs I do have a problem.

I couldn't count the "friends" I had that died from "hard drugs". I have watched SO many people I care about, get off on hard drugs. Changes them, kills them quick. Once they start, you can't "tell them chit". You watch them slowly roll over and die.

My main point is. You can still be "cool" and say NO! Don't EVER let "peer pressure" get to you! Those that "push that chit" really aren't the "cool ones" anyway. Their fucking "dorks" living a "no life" existence. All they really want is to "sound cool"...
