You have a point, it really depends on how much you smoke, but just know you're going to have to deal with the consequences.

I really don't want to find out whats fun about doing drugs, sorry. People who do stuff like that usually aren't mature or experienced enough to realize the consequences it would have on their future if they continue to do it.

True.

I don't follow.

Thats what I'm talking about, I'm sure many of them would remember how much of an idiot they were when they were younger.

This is something that the weak-minded have convinced you of. You need to break this illusion that you're not in control of what you do. Hell, I would be willing and eager to participate in some scientific study about addiction so I can shove it in people's faces.

It doesn't mean its good for them, and most are probably only thinking of the here and now, which isn't a good thing in relation to health.

I still don't see any reason why I would want to use drugs 'for the experience'. I don't need mind-altering drugs to have a good time, thanks.
I think its kind of depressing that you need to do drugs to feel good.

Well, you're not me. And no, my opinion of the average intelligence level of those around my age isn't high enough for me to to not reply to topics I have no experience in.
Sometimes an outside opinion helps.
By the way, I get the impression that you use addiction to justify your use of drugs. I know many people do.
It disgusts me how many believe they can't break an addiction with willpower alone.
