Question 20. What's your opinion on illegal drugs?

I'm a really open-minded person. And my philosophy or moral compass in life is, as long as you're not hurting someone, do what you want to do.

I personally have never done any illegal drugs. Well, other than second-hand exposure when I've caught someone smoking weed IN our shop on a few occasions. But when it comes to other people, as long as they're not bothering anyone, I couldn't care less if they want to use drugs.

I'd like to try weed in edible form one of these days because of how awesome it's supposed to be for schizophrenics' hallucinations/overstimulated mind. When it comes to other drugs, I just don't care to get into them myself. Not because I think they're all bad, but because I want to actually live my life, and when I've been on mind-altering presription medications, I've felt like I wasn't really living my life, which is why I only take antipsychotics as needed (which is very rarely).

I think a lot of prescription medications are worse than some illegal drugs, and I've been on some of them. Would I choose to live my life with someone who did drugs? It depends on if it really was for recreational use or if they were addicted. Addicted, no. Recreational use, maybe. But like I tell the guys who work in my shop; I don't care if you do drugs. I really don't. As long as you don't do it IN MY building and as long as it doesn't affect your work.

I had a functional (meaning he wasn't too drugged to work) meth addict working for me for a while, and in the end, the reason I had to let him go had nothing to do with the meth.

On the other hand, if you've got young children or a sensitive job, my philosophy in life comes into play. Be aware of your surroundings, and if you're hurting someone, it's no longer okay in my book. I'm not gonna try to stop you, but this whole post is about MY opinion. I also don't think it's right to force my opinions on anyone.
