I'm not even in to drugs. I barely drink

I went through the meat grinder with this one, and I've never even inhaled.

I too, might have a drink once or twice a month.

Daughter got her master in five years.

Son was a different story. I tell the ending first. He's now a senior art director with a mid sized ad agency in Dallas, married and a son, and doing well.

However, starting with his eighth grade. marijuana did a number on our immediate family. We were in Dallas and he (which I tend to think was a mistake, in hindsight) went into a drug rehab. Seems like that experience was more an education than remedy. And to this day, I can't, with certainty, say that drugs influenced his college progress.

I personally graduated BFA with some 190 plus credit hours. (g)

He finally graduated (after eight long years) with a BFA degree, and grew up. But in that growing up period, we learned a great deal about a little bit of everything.

Decriminalizing drugs would be a huge step forward to remedy a ton of stuff!
