*** Please note that I in no way condone the usage of illegal drugs (and even some legal ones). I am providing this information strictly to educate people. I would hope that by educating, I am helping people make smarter decisions about their lives.

1) I have always believed in the strength of the human will and the more that it is practiced, the stronger it becomes. 
2) I believe in a natural (adrenaline) high, and those who rely on drugs to produce that high, are simply missing out on the more exciting stuff in life... or are simply lazy.
