I don’t use drugs nor alcohol, but I just turned 18 and I noticed that a lot of people younger than me (high school age so 14-17 even) use alcohol and sometimes drugs from siblings, older friends, etc.
Did you do that when you were younger than me? I don’t plan on doing so anyway.
I tried weed and alcohol a couple of times. Didn’t really care about them much though and never got into them. I started enjoying weed occasionally in my mid 30s. 😂 I still don’t care about alcohol much, though I’ll drink on occasion.
To be totally honest, it wouldn’t kill you to try light drugs like alcohol, THC or nicotine, and you won’t get instantly addicted to them or anything. But they are not healthy for you or your brain, and in the long term the potential for addiction is there. I personally feel that nicotine is the most addictive and THC. Is the least.
I would strongly recommend against even trying hard drugs, like opioids, heroin, meth or fentanyl, as those things can ruin your life or kill you quickly. Not all “drugs” are the same.
