If we're going to talk about Drugs

If we're going to talk about Drugs then really the discussion is incomplete without a link to Erowid, the world most comprehensive warehouse of personal experience reports from users of psychedelic materials.

Ahyes, I've read this page many a time, and actually posted a few experiences. The experience page is definitely an interesting source on the effects of drugs, both good and bad. For an internet geek like myself who researches everything on the net before and after she's done it, it's a good source of information.

I guess what surprised me most, however, was the ages of the experience-ers. I'm only 19 myself, but some of these kids are 11 and 12. Am I that naive to think that's awfully young to be dabbling in illegal substances?

AHHHH, I have to fix my typo only 'cause I'm an English major. "to" in the last sentence should, of course, be "too."

"Am I that naive to think that's awfully young too be dabbling..." Sorry, read it again, still don't see a 'to' that should be a 'too', Zosia.

Anyway, yeah, good point...I should have thought of linking here. Damn, I must be getting old. Of course, some will argue that it's the drugs.

Yeah, I realized that I didn't need the grammar correction after I wrote that, but I didn't want to post again :). So, I figured I'd just let it be.
