I've always believed that smoking and drinking and drugs were all the pretty much the stupidest things you could do to yourself. I often joke about how Panic is stoned all the time, but whenever pictures of them smoking show up I end up cringing. Even recently, I had a friend whose best friend choose pot over her loyalty to my friend and that baffled me. I never understood how anyone could do that.

I have one straight edge friend who I've know for like...1 years now, and he always prides himself in being sexually abstinent for the entire time he's been straight edge and so he's been my model for straight edge behavior for a while now. But if that's the case though, I'll proudly claim edge from now on.
