Kensington in Philadelphia is horrific. I’ve never been there- but I have seen videos. @MackTheFinger knows what I’m taking about.

Any 8-year old kid can look around and see how pathetic a drug addict's life is. Perhaps the kid has experienced abuse at the hands of drug addicts. You would think he would run away from this real-life horror like someone would run from a burning building.
The signs are everywhere that drugs, any drugs, make it all that more likely that YOUR LIFE WILL BE F-ED UP. So, why even try it? Why smoke tobacco or marijuana? All of this stuff, alcohol included, tastes bad and makes you sick when you first try it. It's like God told Satan "Ok, you can tempt mankind with your chemicals, but the first time someone tries one of them, it has to make them sick or taste like crap".
Mankind is screwed if a large segment of us can't perpetually stay away from all recreational chemicals. The chemists, with the help of AI, will make chemicals that can get you higher than ever before and even sustain the high. But, they will still end up killing you all the same. The only difference will be this next round of chemicals will get the users hopelessly addicted after trying it just once.
