again, you're assuming that other people are like you and have the same opportunities and resources or even parents as you. that's simply not the case.

millions of people still don't have access to the internet. millions more drop out of school and never learn drug safety. many others are told the drug safety they learned is false by somebody they trust. there are as many reasons why somebody would not understand the dangers of what they're getting into, and you're painting over that in broad strokes because that's not what your life was. i'm incredibly happy that you never tried these drugs, but don't you dare think for a moment that you're better than those whose circumstances were different, because you're not. you're just different.

Having lived rurally I know for a fact that if you can receive even awful quality satellite TV, you have access to Internet by and large. Funds are another issue, mind, and I've views on that but that's a whole different topic.

There is legitimately always a means to educate yourself. Trusting people is not something someone should ever do on whimsy with any decision pertaining to their life in my books, do it's still all on personal accountability. You only have one life, just accepting the views of those around you and not forming your own is completely unacceptable in my books.
