I also meant to mention "peer pressure." Some people can get into drugs and take or leave them. I'm sure you've know people like that. And others develop a dependency on drugs. Many people feel a need to keep up with their peers. They need to know that they shouldn't and it's even a bad idea. The music scene is horrible to deal with unless you are real individual and stand up to the peer pressure that goes on there. People need to also understand themselves. Believe it or not I've seen codependency markers in horoscopes. But we can't expect a dumbass society to ever look at real horoscopes as a tool.
