But nope, don't care much about it, before or after everyone found out he did it.

P.S. - Liquor is better, comes in a much greater variety of flavors
The great tragedy which keeps repeating itself in our society is alot of these these kids grow up, try pot, find out it's really somewhere between mostly harmless and fun.

Suddenly feeling betrayed by all those fabulous rolemodels: parents, teachers, government, ect. by finding out they are a bunch of liars/hypocrites at worst and complacently ignorant at best.
