There are some people who use chemical substances in moderation, relatively safely, to have a little bit of fun. There also some people who use them in excess, as a crutch, out of psychological or chemical dependency.
Trouble is, virtually everyone who uses them thinks they're in the first category. The boundary of the second category is always a few inches away from their present state.
E is bad for this because it suppresses the very same emotions that cause most people to take a good hard look at their lives and make necessary changes. For the people who are clubbing every week, it also doesn't help that they can almost always point to someone worse. There's some truth to the idea that clubbing/partying actually becomes a form of self-validation for many frequent rollers (though certainly not all).
Of course, meth and coke are much worse for that, but I won't go there. I like to think that weed's alright, although on the other hand I've seen so many stoners who are also hardcore slackers... kind of turns me off. The worst is hearing one dispense what he thinks is some kind of profound wisdom when in actual fact it's just horse shit. Not all are like this and I personally know several who aren't, but it's a frequent occurrence nevertheless.
Jen, congratulations on... kicking the habit? But I think you know that a year ago you would have casually dismissed the same statements you're making today, so really there's no point in making them. Nobody will be convinced by words alone; the crazy ones will only start making lifestyle changes once they hit rock bottom.
