Ya know - my son ALWAYS said (years ago now) that he would NEVER do chems (chemical drugs) He said he would only EVER smoke weed.

> PS - I admire your honesty & openness.Thanks Kath. I know some people get deep into substance abuse and it is really bad. I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen to me. I think I'm in an experimenting phase right now.
