His biggest point was to \u201cJust say NO\u201d to the groups of people with frosted tips and chain wallets who will definitely be trying to get me high.

Gone are the days of pimply redhead kids jumping from the shadows to offer me free mind-altering substances I experienced during high school. I could have been hooked on five different pills by sophomore year with that kind of service?
