Life would be empty without cheesecake though.
Then I really don't recommend you experiment with heroin :)
Hah, I try to avoid it.

Stop posting extreme hyperboles all around the discussion, please
Obviously it was hyperbole, but OP was sloppy when they stated "it is perfectly normal for people to experiment with substances when they come of-age.". What are young people (13 year olds? 18 year olds? 20 year olds?) and what drugs (just weed? any drugs?)? Others chimed it and argued that kids naturally alter their consciousness by spinning around and nobody thought to clarify. I don't think it's natural for kids t…
HN guidelines state that you should assume good faith, so nope, they most probably did not mean 12 year old kids doing heroin.
Nobody said that smoking marijuana is natural, the argument was that the desire to alter one's mind and to experiment is natural.

What are you talking about? That's a ridiculous overgeneralization. There are plenty of things that kids do NOT recover from and we now know that moderate marijuana use is NOT one of them. edit: emphasized the double negative to prevent further confusion. It could have been phrased better.
I wish that you told me what kinds of things don't kids recover from. Physical muscles, check! Mental cognition, check! Emotional therapy, check. Attitude adjustment, check. What's left? Hunger? Poverty? Love? Addiction? Depression? It's debatable whether the child really did recover or just get stronger in a different way.
Is this a joke? Are you actually trying to defend your over generalization by pretending a handful of issues is a comprehensive list? Please explain to me how a child suffering from diabetes or fetal alcohol syndrome is really just "getting strong[er] in a different way".
