And for your info it "took off" because people like it. Just like sugar "took off". And alcohol "took off". lol

I have known a lot of people who have had their lives destroyed by meth, crank, and any other name you want to give to synthetically produced speed.
Seen even MORE in recent years of people becoming addicted to and lives destroyed by prescription pills. (that's a real nasty mess).

Do SOME people like cocaine (not "crack", not any kind of speed but REAL organic cocaine) so much that they want to do it all the time? Hell yes!

Does EVERYBODY that does it want more when it runs out? Hell yes! That's how coke works. It gets you high for about 15 minutes and then you want another line.

But if your theory was right...then a LOT of people in this world would be ruined.
I'm not ruined.
Doctors, lawyers, cops, politicians, schoolteachers, and others that I have partied with here and there over the years aren't ruined.

It's a recreational drug.
Some people can't handle ANY kind of drug (alcohol, nicotine, coke, prescription pills) and go off the deep end.

But the vast, vast majority can and do.

That's all I'm saying.

I don't want to get into another drug argument with people on GFY since this is such a prudish and anti-drug crowd.

But I will say again that her skin is mostly cigarette smoking. Toss in a touch of not sleeping from too much partying and not eating healthy and you get that result.

She appears to me to be the type of person who needs to be a complete tee-totaler from EVERY form of partying in order to act correctly the next day.

Not everyone is like that. Most folks can have some fun on Friday night. Sleep in on Saturday. Do it again Saturday night. Sleep in on Sunday. And then get back to business on Monday and not touch ANYTHING all week.

Hell, I don't even have a beer all week long. I work. I take care of my family. I hit the gym every day.

Friday and Saturday nights? Play time! Not necessarily anything that you prudes wouldn't approve of. I mostly enjoy having a few drinks and gambling a bit, maybe hit the strip club or the swingers club.

Rarely do any kind of recreational drugs anymore. Not because I think it's "bad". But mostly because I want to make sure my cock works at the end of the night! lol

EDIT: By the way, I own a tanning bed right here in my office. When I'm not lying in the sun, I'm in the tanning bed. Have you ever met me in person? I don't look "aged" from tanning.
Some people have skin types that are bad for them if they tan. Lohan looks like that kind of girl for sure...fair skin, freckles. They turn into prunes in the sun. lol
