Clo:
I have a strong aversion to recreational drugs. Fortunately I was a bit old to have gotten involved (missed the drug scene). With my compulsive personality, I would be mainlining heroin. Fortunately, I am a smoker and pot mostly just makes me cough and gag.
My son got hooked on cocaine years ago when living in Florida. He moved back into my house as a young adult businessman, and took two years to definitively kick the habit and association with other drug users. I vividly recall two of his quotes - "Dad, drugs turn you into a piece of shit." and "Drugs steal your honor".
