In my personal case, at my age, I have seen enough of the damage these substances have caused in people's lives that I am glad that I obeyed my father and never messed with them.

I do not see my life as having been in any way impoverished by "listening to others" rather "seeing for myself" in these matters.

Especially since I have "listened to others" by observing their disedifying behavior as a powerful cautionary tale.
