It wasn't the usual reasons that kept me drig free. I didn't fall for the 'Marijuana, teen age killer' crap nor much of anything like that.
I wasn't afraid of addiction, bad health, missing out on a haircut, losing my (already lost) mind or any of the usual things that make people steer clear.
I just looked at all of the cool people that were into the drug scene and paid a little attention.
It always seemed that bad things were happening to them. They were always getting ripped off or ripping someone off. A couple got beaten up, some got arrested, others just went over the high side. I knew a couple of guys that overdosed and died. One guy that was a druggie got shot at a couple of times but I guess the shooter waas as high as a kite because he missed.
Yet there were some of the cool kids.
I steered clear of drugs because I simply didn't want to be one of the cool kids and get caught up in all of that crap.
It really was that simple.
I guess I just wanted to be left alone.
