Saying you don't need to do something to have a good time is almost always true, but that does not mean you can't have a good time doing it.

Video games, TV, and books don't alter your mind like drugs usually do. They keyword in my sentence was mind-altering.

I don't think you're understanding the definition of impression. Of course you never said you did, but it is the impression I get from your responses.

I very much treasure my mind and I wouldn't want to be doing anything that could unfavorably alter the way I think, like drugs could. Which is why I'd much rather stay away from them.

Fine, feel free to live in your world where you're powerless against addiction, I'm not going to sink to that level of belief, I have confidence in myself.

Maybe those words are too strong but I certainly have a lower opinion of them.

Not a good choice in my opinion.

I certainly don't know that for sure. Thats also not the image painted by the media. Also I don't have the personal experience to know how many could say "no". My parents certainly can't say "no" to smoking.

Thats similar to my definition of a 'drug user'. Perhaps I group 'drug user' and 'drug addict' in the same category when I shouldn't?

I don't think any person with a high enough level of intelligence would choose to do anything to alter their mind without a good reason. Thats just my opinion on it.
