whatever you are doing or going about your daily life, you need to be conscious.
you need to be aware of what is hyappening and how things happen
if you are aware of what is happening and how things happen, you can act accordingly
you can steer clear of trouble, of being tempted to do drugs, and be both vital and effective
remember that you are a natural process
being aware of how things happen includes being aware of yourself
your life unfolds according to the same principle that governs every other unfolding
you are rooted in the common ground of all creation
being like everything else mean that you are ordinary; but, consciously knowing that you are like everything else is extraordinary. and knowing how that universality works and having the sense to act accordingly is the source of your power, your endurance, and your excellence.
consciousness of awareness, then, is the source of your ability
you can steer clear of being tempted to do drugs
learn to become more increasingly conscious

If you're tempted to do drugs, not being tempted depends on the reason you feel the desire to do them. There are three main reasons you'd probably want to do drugs if you haven't done them before (or at least if you haven't been addicted before!).
1) Peer pressure: Get friends who aren't jerks, or grow enough confidence to not care what people think about your decisions on what to do/not do.
2) Curiosity: Uh, lobotomy? Curiosity is a decently healthy reason.
3) Depression: Get some GOOD drugs, like antidepressants.

Focus on your blessings. There are days I have been tempted to get high and forget all about everything just because I was so ungrateful for all I had. So of course, stay away from the folks who push drugs... but remember what you have and what you are worth.
Best of luck!

Go to the local park and watch some of the homeless people. If this does not compell you to stay off drugs, then go feed the homeless at City Hall on the weekends, if this still does not help curb your desire to try drugs.......See if you can get a ride-along with the local Police Department. Ask that cop to introduce you to the local users.
Or you could watch "COPS" (my favorite show).....there are always some really great reason NOT to try drugs on that show.
MMMMmmm, Drugs are Bad!! mkay!

Drugs or alcohol might make you feel good for a short period of time but when you come down everything is still going to be the same. You just wasted a lot of your time and money. Just remember it takes Five ( yes 5 ) years for the chemistry in your brain to return to normal after your last high. It's one year for alcohol.

Realize a lot of things:
•You will either end up with a crappy life or dead if you use drugs
•Drugs are addictive
•You are just another "statistic" if you do drugs
•You are kind of a wimp to do drugs because you cave in to pressure easily
•Drugs do not do anything for you!
I do not care if people call me a "goody goody" because I will be the one with a good life.
*HUGS NOT DRUGS*

I experimented with it for a while like most peopl do. my best friend was a serious user of all kinds of drugs. I just smoked a little pot sometimes.. he did so much that he lost weight.. i mean he almost wasted away.. he used to be larger than Me but ater a few years. his life went literally to pot. lost his job.his wife. his career. his home.all of his friends.. he kept stealing from them to support his habit..not sure what he was actually on.but I moved out of state anyway..we met up at a hometown reunion and his life went downhill from the last time I saw him. he looks even worse and now he has to contend with the fact that he is HIV positive and will die soon..that is a worst case scenario of what drugs are like... no temptation for me..I say no to ALL kinds of illegal drugs

The people in these pictures destroyed, or ended thier lives. you think thats worth it for a few hours of "feel good"? go get a massage for your own sake.
sure it may be cool now, but when you get older, and you move on to college, or when you get married, doing drugs is NOT cool.
