Even at a young age we chase the so called BUZZ . That dizzying affect on the brain , the so called Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!
We spin around in circles as fast as we can , we even make up games that involves spinning around objects . The one that sticks out most in my mind is spinning around a baseball bat and then trying to walk in a certain direction in as straight a line as possible. We grew up doing this, well most of us did .So natural or man-made we will always be in search of that dizzying high. For me it is White-Water Rafting and doing things that most people take for granted . The simpleness of a sunrise or sunset can also be a high if you let it . From the people I graduated with you definately dont have to tell these people what to look for as far as their kids doing drugs . Most of them went through that phase in High School . Some of the smartest people I knew getting 4.0 grade point avg. were the biggest potheads in school. We all turned out pretty normal . It all boils down to common sence !!
