i would say yes but to a point. i would never have eaten mushrooms if had i not smoked weed. that said, weed and mushrooms are the only drugs i would do, and maybe salvia. i guess my personal rule would fall under the category of " only doing natural things." i was straightedge and did not even taste alcohol until i was 19. smoking weed has opened my eyes to other drugs and their postives and negatives. it makes me think really hard and weigh the pros and cons of the drug and usually the cons, to me, outweight the pros for most drugs. hell, i don't even drink anymore except on special occasions. i had read information for about 6 months before i tried smoking weed. i think if people would sit down and read real information about marijuana, it would change people's minds about it like it has done to me.
