Know when to hold em, know when to fold em.

Drugs are just drugs, they are not inherently good or bad - but its what you do with them.
I think sometimes people who are taking drugs forget that.

Getting a taste of it and some mind expansion is one thing, but developing a social dependancy or any other kind of drug habit is a bad path to go down.

You need to take a moment to assess WHY you are taking these chemicals, WHAT you would be doing instead and HOW this experience will effect you in the long term.
Nobody else is responsible for you - YOU need to take care of you.

If you are smoking weed because you are bored you could be doing something productive and this will set you back long term.
If you are drinking beers because you are stressed out at school you could be going to the gym instead and this choice will disadvantage you in the long term.
If you are drinking beers because its after work social time you could be embarrassing yourself from being drunk or making some friends.
Depending on how you handle your buzz you can come out up or down.

    Best advice I've ever heard was "Do the drug, don't let the drug do you".

    Pretty straightforward and sound advice there, HDL. OP has a valid point, too. Gotta have a binge, but don't let drugs take over your life - even prescription ones.

    Great advice, there's a line between recreation and addiction, but knowing when you've crossed it is the hard part.

    Thats a line you gotta draw yourself as well.

    Some people hate the idea of feeling like they should be having a drink in a social situation, some people love the idea of having a quick smoke before they go to sleep every night.

    Im not on anything at all these days besides having a few drinks here and there because im focusing on different stuff.
