Thanks, dood! This was an absolutely terrible experience. Sucks learning some things in life the hard way...
Also, I wouldn't say that I'm straightedge and adhere to some sort of rule on it, but rather I just don't ever want drugs or alcohol anymore. Who knows, maybe I'll want them more in the future, but like you said, I think it's really about getting older and your body, mind, and approach to life changing. Hard to see it changing back.
BTW, certain leafy plants aren't drugs, right? XD
Leafy plants, I think can be classified as a daily health supplement these days! :P
