The Presence of Drug Culture
While most modern-day parents seem more than happy for their children to go out on an alcohol-infused bender every weekend, they are less pleased by the thought that their child might be out there high as a kite on some class A party drug, and fair enough.

What Is Synthetic Weed Made Of?. Top Story - October 2017.
I've been a very strong opponent of synthetic weed. It's the only drug that I honestly think has no benefits and does nothing but hurt its users.

Tips for the First-Time Shroomer
Psychedelics have potential to be, without a doubt, one of the most intense and intimate personal experiences one can have. Every psilocybin-containing mushroom has within it the power to open the mind of the user to a realm of bliss and infinite possibilities, or equally so to shatter one’s world along with all they think they know. This is not to be taken lightly. Regardless of the reason (or lack thereof) for experimenting if one so chooses, these substances definitely demand respect and deserve to be treated with such, even if you just want to “trip balls.”
