Dear Spook W.,
In your opinion, is it worse to use alcohol and drugs, or to use people who drank or did drugs?

Dear Forever,
You mean, as in Date Rape or as in Temporary Day Labor? I call that an embarrassment of choices. We'll consult the spirits, maybe they'll know what to do. See below.
In the meantime, everybody has their own opinion -- and mine is that if anything (sex, drugs, alcohol. . . sugar, ,fat, bread . . .power, money,social status. . . ad infinitum) causes harm to yourself or others then don't do it. Its the aftermath that's the problem (or not), and not the thing itself.
For example, Dr. P (also known as The Brown Clown for her keen tan) recently completed The Kratom Challenge with a Friend of Spook (also known as The Pink Princess for his rosy hue). In sum:
Why Is This Stuff Legal?
Pink Princess
Brown Clown
Green Kratom
At first you like him
Next you love him
And then you hate him
No ID required
No license
No prescription
Face caked in vomit
He seized up
On the floor in the kitchen
True Story. Dr. P had to say The Lord's Prayer over and over again in tandem with my breath (because she couldn't catch hers) just to maintain a modicum of sanity. She certainly would have had to go to the hospital if I had let her do more.
Yours Truly,
