common misconception about speed.  either they learn or they become speed
freaks.  :)

but this is the part i don't understand.  why is getting drunk any different
than getting high?  if you keep it to weekends, or social gatherings with
friends, then how does it differ from alcohol?  people can be alcoholics, or
they can be potheads.  i just don't think it's fair to seperate them in that
manner.

sure, alcohol is legal, and the others aren't, but that is a COMPLETELY differnt
topic.  they should have you piss in a cup, and then blow through a breathalizer
(if that's how it's spelled)

just they way i look at it.
