The only time I've ever done recreational drugs other than alcohol was when I attended a Grateful Dead concert and got a mild buzz and sore throat from all the secondhand joint smoke.
It did NOT mellow me out, as I recall being ready to throw down with the grinning halfwits who thought it'd be fun to get it on in one of two available stalls when there was a huge line for the men's room.
It's Puppy Friday here! With the world's mmellowest puppy. Four people are trying to play with him and he's sleeping.
Pot was easier to get in my high school than alcohol, for sure.
Whippets were not around my high school at all. Alcohol (legal drinking age back then was 18, so yeah), pot, coke, LSD, and the ever lovely heroin. In HS, all I was personally acquainted with was alcohol. I graduated in '86.

If I'd wanted alcohol in high school, I could have just taken it from my parents' liquor cabinet or the fridge. Pot would have required a bit more effort, since (as far as I know) there wasn't any in my house.
I hate everyone.
{{Dana}} You got nothin' but love coming from here.
I went to the "good" high school in my area. Our kids were better than everyone else. And then Jay Johnson, track star and honor student, got busted for selling coke. DRAMA. The parents were flipping out (I can't believe this happened at Woodbridge ), all the kids were completely blase
There was plenty of alcohol at my high school and pot was pretty easy to come by as well. I didn't do anything, the couple of times I tried alcohol the only affect was nausea and I hated the taste. Thus I became the designated driver like everywhere. I was around people who smoking pot and doing LSD, but it didn't look especially fun. The LSD in particular seemed to elicit some after school special badness, the last high school party I went to (as a College Freshman home during the summer) had some people doing LSD and it went really bad. My friend and I did some first aid for a couple of people and then got the hell out of there.
I knew a couple of kids who drank Robitussin in high school. One guy was actually nicknamed "Robo." Now *that's* pathetic. There was alcohol, pot, LSD and shrooms, but only a couple of kids who had a rep for coke (class of '90). Although in 1985 two kids from my high school went to Columbia for spring break and tried to smuggle home a surfboard hollowed out and filled with cocaine. It made 60 Minutes!
Personally, I never had more than an occasional family-based glass of wine before college, and have never done any illegal drugs except that one time I was passed a joint but didn't inhale (because I didn't know how!) mr. flea will be the one discussing recreational drug use with our children.
