Do you regret getting addicted?
Personally I regret it more than anything in the world. I haven't followed the thread but I am going to update soon - big life changes going on soon.
Yes I think it is false to say you have to test drugs to know it is bad and to experience them. I am not in favor of banning them but they are bad for you. Some drugs more than others and especially for those who have an addictive personality.
