    I think some of it depends on where you live, what repercussions you have if caught, and how safe you feel when doing them (environment, friends, activities, etc.). I’m good now, but when it was illegal where I live, I found it harder to enjoy weed.

    There also tends to be a level of anxiety felt strongly by those who bought into the “just say no” era of the war on drugs. That’s not bad, and I definitely understand it having been on the “drugs are bad, m’kay” side of things, but the more your believed minor drug use turned you into a junkie, the harder it was to question that.

    My older sister is one of those types who still believe the propaganda. I get it and do not push it, but when she brings it up, I talk honestly about it. I think it’s helped her feel comfortable about the idea, but not enough to try it. I respect that.
