Thank you Carigsby-- my thoughts exactly. I did my fair share in high school and managed to maintain honor roll, graduate college with numerous semesters on the Deans List....drugs do not ALWAYS ruin lives and anyone can do them. I consider myself as having come from a good family, and I had a friend who came from a very straight, very religious family and she did drugs as well. It's all individual. Being "smart" doesn't keep you from doing drugs. Some of the great thinkers/writers/etc have done or do drugs.

kapow--you're right, the bragging of drug use is something that a teenager would do

Battle, my point was giving Chiara the title "house druggie"

A bit more severe than simply saying the HG that has done the most drugs.

And I suspect we might need to take a peek in Gerry's flower power background to see what his days of youth were like.

Chiara is 25 - not far from a teenager (for SOME 25 year olds)

Ryn, I can be the board's something, but I won't say it.

Okay, okay, I confess: I can be the board virgin. Why do you think I find Jason attractive, besides his sexy voice and handsome face? ;) :D

Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't Josh also talked about taking acid and not being able to wait until he gets out so he can take a bong hit?

gerry may well have done drugs in his earlier days; i think the point about chiara is that she brags about doing them, while others may not want to share those things.
it's like the faces everyone showed when they aired the episode where chiara talked about swapping...TMI too much information....you could see they were disgusted for the most part and yet it didn't stop chiara at all.

Hard to believe any adult Roddy's age in this era hasn't experimented to some degree with drugs. But there is a difference in trying something a couple of times in college and having drug use be a regular part of your life. No doubt, if he ever did actually "do" drugs, he didn't pursue drug use post college and doesn't use today (nicotine and alcohol excepted)and that's what he means by "not doing drugs".

lol Ryn..Gerry is a little clueless..when Roddy and Chiara were arguing about the drugs..Gerry brought up something about how he drinks..and it had nothing to do with what they were talking about..lol..I thought it was funny

Gerry even admitted that he did some drugs in the 60's

Once again battle - its the title I had a problem with.

I listen too - but I don't think she is the "house druggie"

oh well! but I didn't call her that--just observed that all her conversation seemed to have only two topics

I don't know that not having done drugs is really that hard to believe. Maybe it's the people I tend to hang out with but a majority of them have never done anything other than drinking and I haven't even done that.

I hear ya Ryn, and I am not much older than 25. But by 25 I knew better than to talk about past drug use....ancient history by then. Especially to people who might judge me harshly for it (ie coworkers). I can talk about it with my friends, but not people with whom I may be in competition with or who may judge me for it.

WOW, seriously bad grammer (on my part) now! My point is that even at 25, one should not be bragging to people whose judgement stands between his or herselves and $500k. IMHO - FWIW

wow- lots of comments since I put mine in...I guess I fit in the 80-90% and it was only pot and acid so I guess I'm on the "good" side!

Eden - It is somewhat unusual that someone Roddy's age had never even tried or experimented - but I actually know 3 people who are very close to me who have never touched any type of drug (for one of them that includes alcohol). Two of them are 25-26 and the other is 30. I think it would actually be surprising to see how many people have never tried any type of drug before.

Battle, I wasn't adressing you when I wrote my initial post, but you adressed me so I replied ;)

Roll the tape!!! ;)

I've been drunk twice, does that count?

Never did any illegal drugs. Could have but turned down the opportunities. I can believe that Roddy is telling the truth.

I can't see Roddy and Chiara getting together on the outside. The more she talks the less attractive she gets. I would be climbing the walls if I had to listen to her 24/7.

<--raises his hand and points to a clever caption of what Chiara might do if she had to listen to Roddy 24x7 on the outside (see the caption thread).

I always thought the people who talked the most were the most pathetic- trying to prove something. I knew this girls who tried to be a big "hippy" type. I was talking to her about how annoying it is when people who have everything taken care of/paid for by their parents are annoying when they brag about drugs and try to be so rebellious...found out later that she drives a new Lexus and her parents bought her a condo. Ugh...I was describing her!
