markizamkd25: So are alcohol sellers same as drug dealers and pubs same as coffeshops
have me come into work and there be no coffee, and find out! Alcohol, I could care less, only drink a handfull of times a year, tobacco, one of these days I'll kick it for good when I get my mind set to it
markizamkd25: Its just you.Drugs are not tabu and i know its iligal to use them but its not iligal to tell or write about that...Most of the famous artists made their masterpeaces under influence of drugs...so nothing bad about it. And if you dont write because other people will see it than dont do it at all if you are ashamed of things you do. Dont take this personal,its general.
Well, first of all, I don't take this personally. I am not so thin-skinned. But I disagree with what you write (don't take it personally). Drugs ARE taboo. And, although you are correct that it is not illegal to tell or write about drug use, I simply don't think it's wise to use the Internet as a means of exposing all of our vices or ill-doings. I'm just of a different mindset when it comes to the Internet. I don't view it as a place to interact only with those that we know and trust or must do business with; it has a far greater reach. Anything I write can be put before me in years to come...by a prospective employer, for example, or a prospective mate or partner. My words, once written, are a record that I cannot expunge from the Internet. So I try to choose them wisely, though I may not always be successful.
I am not ashamed of what I do or have done. I have had my experiences in my youth, although quite mild in actuality, and I have hidden nothing (not even during my employment interview). But you are right in saying that we should not do something at all if it will cause us shame. I agree completely.
In general, my earlier post was simply because I don't trust the Internet or the potential for harm that is inherent in exposing ourselves for anyone to see....forever.

Well, you know where I'm from, I do it all the time Panadol, Tums, Maalox, Comtrex, Nasonex...oh and once I inhaled when a burst of wind blew the smell of weed my way, does that count?
