Do you feel the same way about alcohol? At least when I trip I know I can't drive

That being said, I've never had good salvia, the best stuff I've had just made my legs numb. Most smoke shops carry very weak salvia and overcharge for it. Everyone I know who has gotten good salvia got it off the internet.

Yup, I feel the same way about alcohol. I have to admit the only reason I don't drink is that my "good buddies" gave me waaaaaay too much on my stag night ("bachelor party" in the US) so I have not wanted any in 34 years or so. Now I just don't bother with it.
But to answer your question - if you need alcohol in your life, you're doing it wrong. I have NOTHING against occasional drinks, a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, etc. But if you cannot live without it, you have a problem.
I smoked for close to 35 years, but gave that up 4 years ago. My choice this time

Congratulations!

I smoked for 20 years and quit 2 1/2 years ago. I wish I could have those 20 years back (especially when I'm mountain biking at 10,000 feet... I doubt my full lung capacity and function will ever return), and I definitely do not want to go through quitting again.
