Enlightenment

            Many younger people get their start in the work force using the f&b industry to pay their way through school or they are hoping to get into management. Some may have the desire to one day open their own restaurant. What ever the case, young people that haven't been out on their own to long and have a disposable income, hang in an environment that is geared towards partying. My only concern is that this environment is exposed to drugs. My biggest pet peeve is to hear a kid in their late teens or early twenties talking as though they are an expert on recreational drugs. Then of course they also have the answers to all the worlds problems. For god sake these people haven't been around enough to know anything except maybe where food and drink go in the body, then where it comes out, still needing to be reminded to wash their hands. I hope that when the next few blogs are read that they may shed light on the truths and the fictions of drugs. I think that the most important fact about drugs is that no two people are going to react the same. Every ones chemistry profile is different, so to tell a newbie how he or she is going to react to a drug is, for the most part, a falsity. Only through experimentation by an individual will he or she know how they will do on a drug and that is a gamble to the out come. I'm not saying you won't have a good time, I'm also not saying it won't take from your life. I think that me being in my fifties, been in the industry as long as I have and yes I have done my share of experimentation, makes me more reliable for information than that twenty year old that can name the latest strains of cannabis.
            My goal is to be honest in my stories, some may be funny, some may be devastating. We will see where this leads us. Where ever we are led I hope there is enlightenment.
