The war on drugs marches on, enslaving millions
I smoked regular cigarettes for many years and tried all kinds of ways to quit. Then I had to get off the Nicorret gum, which I found to be quite nice.
During the "experimental" college years, I smoked reg. cigarettes and 'the herb'.
When I moved from university, I just didn't have interest anymore. For me, it was never a gateway drug.
It was way harder to get off regular cigs.
Way harder................
