Decided never to do hard drugs after my best friend's big brother took his own life after an E binge in the mid 90's. Fucking Prodigy, right. I was 13 when it happened, friend's big bro was 16. I had already started drinking and was curious about weed, shrooms, etc. After his death none of it was exciting anymore.
I don't judge anyone who likes to get trippy, your life, your choice. But considering that most of my childhood friends are now either dead or damaged beyond repair it's very likely I would have gone the same way.
I drink tho.
Cheers.
