I know I am strange character - while I smoked cigarettes eons ago, I have never smoked cannabis. I've never "done drugs". Apart from the fact that it is illegal, I've never wanted to. My sister did, my children did - but me, no never. Perhaps I have been around people who were smoking it, but apart from nursing patients who were high on drugs in a psychiatric hospital years ago, I haven't really come close to it that I know.

I remember finding a plastic packet with dried stuff in it, near our driveway, and feeling quite freaked about it - that somehow someone might have been trying to plant it on me, or nail me for something I didn't do. I binned it and didn't feel comfortable until after the rubbish man took it away.

From all I saw in my nursing days, it was not anything I wished to do.

Reading the post about Michael Phelps, I clicked on an ad, and found this site with stories. I read them all. Perhaps more people should read them. I find it rather enlightening. I wonder if young people can really understand the dangers. I know there are some that are in huge pain that get benefit, and if under medical supervision, I could accept that. But why young people need drugs to make them feel better I really don't understand.

The stories are here.
