MY ADVICE TO YOU: MAKE A LIST OF EACH OF THE MEDICALLY HARMFUL EFFECTS FROM CONSUMPTION OR EITHER MARIJUANA OR COCAINE

If you are a gentleman or lady in your teenage years or 20s, you are no doubt facing lots of intense pressure ---especially here in Austin, Texas, where illicit-drug addiction is shockingly widespread----to consume an illicit drug during your leisuretime.

One way to effectively resist that societal pressure:

Try jotting down a list for marijuana and cocaine, respectively, of each way in which consumption of either of those two illicit drugs is VERY harmful to your medical health and emotional health.

Then make sure you keep that list in your "REASONS FOR SAYING 'NO' TO ILLICIT DRUGS" file in your bedroom or study. Then by all means review that file whenever anyone tries to convince you to "have an adventure" with one illicit drug or another.
