Comment	We lost a good friend, and heard of friends losing other friends purely to drugs, all to heroin. I looked back on those people and began to realise there was something off about them, something dark in their history, like sexual abuse or generally having weird families and upbringings. They were the quiet ones, kinda people who in school kind of blended in but equally stood out. I often think some of these people would have some find other way to be destructive; drugs just sometimes speed those declines up. I'm not saying fate here, because I believe we're free agents of sorts, although we're all mostly burdened by our pasts and recent experiences.I'm definitely out out of touch of what’s happening these days regarding drugs, but in the 2000s / early my circle of friends choice was straight up ecto / MDMA, maybe buzzing a can of gas here and there. I think I had enough self-awareness to acknowledge I was at some sort of risk if I took too much, so only occasionally got fandangod (Usually MDMA). I don't particularly have strong opinions on drugs because it's these experiences and risks people to take and life without any these experiences; altering our state of mind is an ancient past time. Still, though rarely, I pop a sweet literally for a laugh because I still find it hilarious saying to myself: "A guy on Sauchiehall street street fucking asked me if I wanted to buy some Bin Ladens and I bought a few"
