nate thanks for demonstrating once again how big an idiot you really are.  you
can't have it both ways:  in the first paragaph you whine about how alcohol and
tobacco are the *biggest* substance abuse issues among minors, then declare in
paragraph 2 that "most children do NOT try drugs."

hate to break it to you, but alcohol and tobacco are *both* drugs -- and
contrary to your claims, MOST kids do indeed try drugs:

by tenth grade fully 70 percent of "kids" have tried alcohol (for them a quite
illegal drug) and that rate has been sustained for the past decade -- but maybe
you have a different definition of "most" than the rest of us.

you did get one thing correct though: "of those who do try them most don't go on
to become chronic abusers."

how about that shit -- most people are *not* problem drug users.  hence our
constant call to stop persecuting them.  the inquisition was over hundreds of
years ago -- so sorry you missed out on all the fun.
