Thinking about trying drugs

Larry Wells2 said:So, I'm writing this because I'm planning on trying drugs for the first time. I'm 17 and a junior in high school. Just a heads-up: don't bother trying to talk me out of it, because I'm going to do this regardless of whatever stupid comments you leave. I guess I've just reached a point where I feel like I've done everything else and I want to try something new. To be clear, I haven't even touched weed yet. I have zero interest in smoking that. But all my friends are into speed now, and now this other friend is pushing us to try cocaine. Money isn't the issue. I'm just stuck on what to actually go with, so I wanted to hear about your experiences. What's the best way to get a real high without being a total zombie for 24 hours? I'm thinking about doing something Saturday night so that by maybe 2 or 3 in the morning on Sunday, I'm somewhat functional, though I still want the experience to actually hit.
Don't get mad at me, seventeen... saying you've "tried everything"—I'm a little older than you and I'm pretty sure I haven't tried everything.
I've never used drugs, though I've been around crowds where people were using them like candy. I never tried them simply out of principle; it just gets under my skin when everyone else is doing it and I'm always the one standing against it.
I really don't get why you're so desperate to try this, especially since there's so much information out there today about how bad drugs are.
It honestly makes no sense to me why you'd want to hurt yourself like this. I just don't get it.
And I see you're being a bit selfish here too—have you thought about what happens if you get hooked? You aren't considering the pain you'll cause the people closest to you. I had a relative who was an addict, so I know exactly the kind of suffering everyone around them goes through, not to mention what they go through themselves.
Just think a little harder before you go off "exploring" things you've never touched.
