There is no trying. It is either you do it or not.
The exact words that my professor in Philosophy 171 said when we were talking about life in class. It makes sense as I think about it now. It is either I do it or not, which brings me to the topic of drugs (huh?).
I hate to admit it, but I thought of trying drugs before. It was in my last year in the university that I entertained the thought of trying it for myself. I remember what I used to say before the idea of trying came to my mind: It's okay to smoke and to drink, but to try drugs? No. (Yeah, I was a righteous kid). But then, something happened that made me change my mind over the idea of drugs. I suddenly became interested in the effects of such. I got curious, so to speak. I think it is normal for any teenager to be curious about something that is prohibited.
But I actually never had the chance to execute the idea. I never tried it. Did I regret it? No. As I think about it now, trying it seems to be the first step of killing myself. So for other people who are thinking of trying drugs, it is your decision: There is no trying. It is either you do it or you do not.
