Hmm, yes I often wondered in the past if lifestyle choices as a teenager had somehow damaged my system.
Could widen the drug choice on here perhaps...
I have added "Other substances" to the poll.Yeah I thought I should have at least added "Other substances". But can't seem to edit the choices.
Nope. Daughter and I are in your club. Absolutely squeaky clean. No drugs, no alcohol, no smoking. Yes, people like us do exist.Looking like I'm the only mrs squeaky clean
I agree that alcohol and tobacco are drugs. However, I was not speaking directly to you, but to the population in general for whom "no drugs, no alcohol, no tobacco" has a meaning beyond just "no drugs", so I stand by my choice of words. If you're offended, that's your problem.Sorry, but the phrase "no drugs, no alcohol no tobacco" simply does not make sense and it really, really bugs me that these truly dangerous drugs do not get included in the moralist downer society puts on folk that choose other safer drugs for recreational purposes.
According to whom?Drug taking is a normal part of human/animal behaviour.
