There was always this smelly kid at infant school who one day in the playground came up to me and said that his dad told him he knew how to fly. i asked how and the kid produced a small folded piece of paper containing soft white powder. I and a few mates who all beleived we were superman decided to have a dab and began hurling our selves off a playground wall. naturaly non of us grew wings and flew. Shocking to think what it could of been, i can say to all those worried parents that what i dabbed in infant school tasted nothing like the real thing. Danm must have been TALC!

I used to believe once you were drunk you were drunk forever. So when i was told the Beatles song 'I am the Walrus' was written while they were drunk, i kept asking when they'd written it and which songs they'd written after it as they must have all been written while they were drunk too...

One day when I was about 8, I over heard my cousins talking about my oldest cousin seeing drawfs stealing his candy... I was always afraid that drawfs would come and steal my candy when i asleep. Later I found out he was tripping on a illegal drug and had a bad trip and he was explaining to my aunt and uncle about his illegal use of drugs. To this day they still make fun of me...

An american friend of mine ( im british) Was convinced that redbull containd speed. She also thought that was why she felt auful in the morning after drinking MANY Redbulls. The fact that each one had a dobel vodca in it never crossed her mined. We were 18 so not teknicly kids, but hay.
when I was young I was afraid of going into crowds in the city because I'd heard that people would come up to you and spike you with PCP and make you an addict...

When I was 5 my dad grew marijuana in his room and I'd always go inside and take a look at it. It was a tall beautiful green plant with an aroma that was TO DIE FOR. I asked my dad what it was and he said it was his garden that I couldn't look at anymore, but I'd always walk in and watch him prunning buds of the plant and weighing them out. I thought that since it was his garden these were the fruits that it bore. So I thought pot was a fruit of some type and dad was putting it in our dinner.

I used to believe that drug stores sold illegal drugs and I couldn't work out how they got away with it.

When I was little, someone made a comment about kids going behind the middle school to "do pot". I always envisioned a group of teenagers in the woods hanging around a big boiling, bubbling witch's cauldron (you know, the "pot").

When I was about five, our neighbors got busted for growing Marijuana. While we where watching the police take the guys away, I asked my mom what they'd done. She said that they’d been growing grass, meaning the slang term. I, not knowing anything about marijuana nor slang, was both scared and confused. I got scared thinking, "We're growing grass" and then confused when I thought "why are they arresting just these guys, almost everyone has grass!"

I used to think that people who experimented with drugs actually put them in test tubes and did chemistry experiments to see what was in them. (I couldn't see how that would be any fun.)

When i was in middle school, i told my best friend that if you put a salt and vinegar potato chip in your mouth and inhaled,you could get high....she was "Addicted" to them for an entire year.

My english teacher, Mr. Miller, gave us an assignment, "Write a paper on the effects of heroin on the community."
My entire assignment was about Wonder Woman.

When I was very young, my sisters let me watch a modernized version (70's) of Frankenstein. There was a scene in which a man heard a knocking at the door and when he opened it, a disembodied hand fell out and started crawling towards him. From then on, that hand was under my bed and was gonna grab me if I stood next to it. I also thought that burglars were going to try to poke me with drug-filled needles and the only way to stop them was to keep the covers up to my chin, cause in my young mind, I didn't know how syringes worked and I thought that the covers would wipe off any poison before the needle reached me.

I thought drugs were egg-like things that sizzled.
(My view came from that commercial of two eggs--"This is your brain"-- and then two eggs frying in a pan--"this is your brain on drugs.")

When I was young I was convinced by someone that if you took LSD you could "see" sound moving around the room and it was in different colours. For a long time afterwards I would wonder a) How I could make it happen without LSD (or any other drug) b) What it would look like (different sounds different colours? Soft waves or zigzaggy lines?) and c) Whenever I watched a program about drugs on TV that this was never mentioned.
I've never taken LSD, but I am assured by friends who have that this does not happen .....
When Elvis died, and I heard on the radio that drugs were the reason, I assumed that they meant aspirin, since that was the only drug I knew.

I used to believe that at dance clubs, the "smoke" that they'd spray was laden with drugs and I'd get high.

I remember hearing my parents talking about people "doing drugs". So, I thought drugs was just one thing. I imagined people walking around drinking out of containers labeled "drugs".

After Grange Hill's "Just say no campaign" that people would force me to take drugs ... if only.
