Some things are best not started. Drugs being one of them. I watched a documentary on the late John Belushi's last 24 hours alive. Boy did it shake me. It made me feel so sick. The hurt from all of his friends as they retold his last moments. It's not worth starting.

To those of you who think that taking drug is cool and smart, think again. You are hurting yourself with every injection of the damn stuff. You destroy your mind and your will power, you may say you can quit any time you like, but boy are you wrong. Think of 'quitting' drugs as trying to stop breathing for example. You cant hold your breath forever. It's the same thing.

If you do take drugs, for god's sake, think about all the people around you that you are hurting by taking narcotics.

Honestly, stuff like that can make you think. I swear now that I will never touch any drugs or smoke or drink myself to oblivion. If I ever go back on these words then, for god's sake, somebody remind me of what I promised myself and how much it hurts you to see me ruin myself. Because I know that the people who know me now, will never let me destroy myself and go back on these words.

So many good people have had their lives cut short because of the poisons they pump into their own bodies. But the ones who hurt most are the ones left behind to deal with it all.

I just thought all this had to be said. I've always had a bad feeling about drugs and smoking. Can't seem to see the appeal. And before someone tells me I haven't tried it so I can't say anything. I have. Smoking and Weed. I can't see the appeal. None of them made me feel good or gave me a great rush. Hell I didn't even react to the weed in any way. I saw the people around me start to giggle and go funny, but nothing for me except the smell clinging to my clothes. I knew that then, I couldn't stand the stuff. Now it makes me sick to think that people willingly begin to use all of this s**t willingly. I mean I was pressured into trying it all by a group of 'friends'.

So there. Horrified rant over. I know I sound like a bloody idiot, but it's all true.
