He said he and his buddies used to smoke fluoride toothpaste on cigarettes and eat raw green potatoes and nutmeg (some Navy sailor told them about the potatoes which is now known to cause solanine hallucinations and nutmeg which is now known to be similar to MDMA). Moral to the story, within every generation of kids, there will be those who will do whatever others are doing to get high. Lack of awareness of consequences or tribal rite of passage? Some just don't make it through.
