Excerpt
There are countless reasons that people give for using drugs. No reason anyone can think of is a valid excuse for subjecting himself to the physical and mental abuse that so often accompanies drug use. Different people have different ways of dealing with life and its problems. Drugs should not be one of them. Sure, today's media are filled with people beating us over the head with the horrible facts of drug use. However, there are countless hard-headed, stubborn, stupid people who cannot accept the sickening truth. I was one of those people. My excuse is just as invalid as anyone else's, and there never is any single reason for such asininity. But, in my case anyway, I think there was a main contributing factor.
