I've enjoyed a life of the mind as much as I can. I made this decision pretty much at age 21 when I started college. I had been doing a variety of drugs and alcohol since age 13. I really enjoyed good pot: It was my favorite. But if I was to engage in intellectual pursuits and participate in critical thinking, frankly, I wasn't born with an abundance in that department and I never have had much brain power to spare. So out went the drugs.
Sorry if I didn't answer your question, but I'm not one to preach. It's just that looking back over the years, I've rarely wished that I would have done more drugs.
Well, there was that one time I got roped into taking my kids to see The Fox and The Hound. That would have been way better on some Acid or Mushrooms if I could have managed to sit still.
