Never took a puff in my life. The smell alone's enough to make me want to stay away.

The only drug I'm willing to consume is caffeine. I'm also an ardent non-drinker.

As for my kids, if/when I ever have any...if they have to do one drug, I'd actually pick marijuana. Doesn't seem to have nearly as bad of an effect as nicotine or alcohol does...as Bot said, not nearly as addictive (unless you start chain-smoking the stuff, I presume) and AFAIK the effects are largely benign.

That said, I wouldn't touch that stuff either. I've been high exactly once (painting in an unventilated area) and that one time was more than enough for me...
