For the record, I don't drink alcohol at all. I just can't handle the tastes. I've tried years ago when I was young by getting smashed every night after (military) school. I hated every minute of it and eventually gave up trying to like it.

Yes, I've smoked pot in my past. What were they going to do; put me in prison? That's where I was. Today, it is legal here in Canada but I choose not to smoke anything. Maybe, later, I might. I haven't decided yet.

The only drugs I take, I do so on a daily basis because my physician says I will die without them.

billi, please don't paint a picture of us with a huge brush dipped in crud. Most of us here don't embarrass ourselves by wallowing in voluntary, chemically induced stupidity. That would be the same as someone calling you a bitch (a female dog) simply because your posting name starts with the letter "b". Generalizations are silly in this way. For the record, I don't think you are a female dog.

Cheers, my friend.
