Seems rather silly if you ask me.[/quote] I see a point here. His advice [i]wouldn\'t[/i] be invalid just because of the drugs. However, I\'m a big \"Above the Influence\" geek. I\'ve seen drugs affect people so negatively that it just tears their lives apart. I don\'t want that for me or anyone else. If I found out that my best friend (who is my role model) smoked, it\'d take a lot of my respect for her away.
