Who is shocked that you have never done drugs? I don’t recall discussing it with anyone, never mind someone who would be shocked. Are you the type of person who would normally do something like that?
People aren't so much shocked, but they never believe me that I never tried any. Where I went to high school (somewhat small town in northern CA), everyone smoked pot. My high school friends all did, my college roommates all did. Both my sisters did, my younger one pretty hardcore. I even had a roommate who tried to get me to do ecstasy with him once. That roommate didn't last long. I have a great, super successful male friend who had a serious cocaine habit in college. He was my roommate for a year. One of the smartest people I've ever met. He was an engineer pursuing his masters at the time. Most of my best friends have tried drugs at least once, usually pot. I just never wanted to. I do drink and I smoked occasionally in my early 20s. But, never tried drugs (recreational ones...I use plenty of Rx drugs for migraines). My husband has also never tried drugs. It's pretty rare to find people who have never even smoked pot.
Everyone I know who has done drugs ended up way more successful than me, LOL. Maybe I should have tried them?
