I don't understand the appeal in drinking, smoking, and drugs. I honestly don't. My grandma smoked so much that she had the permanent oxygen tubes in her nose and had to take the tank with her everywhere she went. Like, what's so great about smoking? I can understand craving it once you become addicted. But why start in the first place? Same with drugs. My roommate smokes weed. Her friend likes to too. I don't get it. I mean, why would you want that kind of high? You can get so many better emotional highs just by being with the right people and having lots of fun. Why do it with pot? Drinking too. Everyone thinks I'm crazy for not being a huge college drinker. It's stupid though. If I'm upset, sure, sometimes I'll wanna drown the pain. But why go out with friends and crap to drink? I mean, find some other way to have fun. I have my other ways of having fun. Maybe I don't get to do it every weekend or with huge groups of people. But I like them and I don't wanna have to get drunk in order to express myself and get silly. I'd rather play stupid games with my friends. I just don't get the appeal. If someone wants to explain it, please do.
