Marijuana is such an amazing plant that has been given a foul image (weed) by greedy centralized corporations. I was in a similar position to you in high school. I remember the D.A.R.E. programs and all of the misinformation. It wasn’t until I was 21 and in college that I started to enjoy marijuana. Now I enjoy it maybe a bit too much. But it is definitely good to try for yourself and much better than many of the pills doctors prescribe.

Magic mushrooms and LSD are good next steps, preferably with someone with experience. They will open your mind to new ways of thinking. As long as you are in a safe environment with people you trust there isn’t much risk involved. Stay away from heroin.
