I heard all kinds of shit like that, and was probably scared shitless of drugs until like middle school when curiosity takes over. Then it was like smoke a few cigarettes to be cool or impress someone, and then it's like "holy fuck I didn't die, fuck all of that bullshit". And then I heard about other people using shit and realized it was nothing like the bullshit they we're feeding us in school and it all gradually progressed. I wish I never did try cigarettes though, now that I think about it, they actually weren't lying to me. I'm addicted as a mother fucker, and probably would pick out of garbage cans for cigarettes if I didn't have any money.
