If they were openly discussed -- even if people still regarded them as a bad choice -- this sort of thing would be easier for people to know how to avoid.I am sorry about your friend, though. Obviously my comment doesn't help you any, but I thought it was worth pointing out that part of the reason some of us feel the way we do about drugs is because we believe it would help prevent this very thing.this guy was an avid forum reader, and a semi-often poster, both here and on bluelight, he has also contributed various detailed, well-read trip reports on erowid. He was an educated kid, if drugs were legal it would have changed nothing. he just liked to push his boundaries, plain and simple. he loved to chase the buzz.You're welcome to think that, if you like. I won't argue with you. I do disagree, though -- you never know what knowledge he may have gained if drugs were legal and he'd had a lifetime to hear about them and didn't have to be cautious about who he discussed them with.
