i never was.. i guess i always had an open mind about it.. i mean in 6th grade i was drawing mushrooms for one of my art projects... and i think thats the hardest i have laughed to this day.... it was an hour straight of laughing till we cried... that same year was also the first time i tried it... when i was that age, around here, noone really said anything about it.. we just knew the name thats about all. before i learned about all the propoganda, i had already tried it and liked it.. so the damage was done.
