Sometimes I wonder what I could have been had I not ‘wasted’ so much of my life tokin’, then swallowing, then dropping, and finally snortin’.
I might not have made the decision to go blow off college.
Unfortunately, what you were doing was illegal - so it forced you to have to be around some less than desirable people. They had a profit motive to get you hooked on harder stuff - & so it began.
It’s like:
Guns don’t kill people - people kill people.
Pot doesn’t make you lazy - laziness makes you lazy.
