Day 03 - Your views on drugs and alcohol. 

I don’t have much knowledge on what types of drugs are out there, nor can I differentiate levels of alcohol.  However, if some idiot decides to smoke in near vicinity of me (especially in public areas where smoking is obviously not an option… and who the hell smokes around kids, any way?), that idiot best put that out or they’ll hear from an incredibly irritated Emily.  It totally does wonders for one’s health… -___- Don’t worry, I’m not following an assumption, I’ve done my homework; I’ve done my research.  I‘ve seen the consequences happen too, even firsthand.  Secondhand smoking (okay, not really a drug, but I’m making a point!) has left a scar on me since I was a child, and it’s tough knowing I can’t get rid of it.  Even if I’m better now, having suspicions that an asthma attack might sneak up on me one day is terrifying.

And it’s worst knowing that a family member’s health is gradually deteriorating by the day.  Sucks more when he’s a stubborn mule and won’t listen to my pleas.  :/

Huh, I think all of my experiences with drugs and alcohol have been bitter ones.  All it does in my life is tear families apart and ruin relationships, all concluding in a particularly messed up life.  Yeah, definitely not good in my book, especially ever since another family member mistook me for someone else while on some sort of drug or whatever.  Lets just say it was like dancing with the devil.

I believe there is no use for either of them - although I am aware that some are used as antidotes for illnesses…  Well, if someone is able to use them sensibly and responsibly, then my hands are up.  I really won’t mind at all.  I’ll try some drinks someday for the heck of it, but I won’t do the same things I’ve seen done to my family.
