All you think about is the drug, and it's no good to us preaching at people and saying don't take them. Because that doesn't work. It's like the church telling you not to drink or not to have sex when you're a kid. There's nothing on earth gonna do it. But if people take any notice of what we say, we say we've been through the drug scene, man, and there's nothing like being straight. You need hope, and hope is something that you build within yourself and with your friends. It's a very difficult situation, drugs ... The worst drugs are as bad as anybody's told you. It's just a dumb trip, which I can't condemn people if they get into it, because one gets into it for one's personal, social, emotional reasons. It's something to be avoided if one can help it." John Lennon “Once you’re so depressed that you get into drugs,
once you’re on them, it’s very, very hard to see
the light or to have any kind of hope. All you
think about is the drug, and it’s no good to us
preaching at people and saying don’t take them.
Because that doesn’t work. It’s like the church
telling you not to drink or not to have sex when
you’re a kid. There’s nothing on earth gonna do
it. But if people take any notice of what we say,
we say we’ve been through the drug scene, man,
and there’s nothing like being straight. You need
hope, and hope is something that you build within
yourself and with your friends. It’s a very
difficult situation, drugs … The worst drugs are
as bad as anybody’s told you. It’s just a dumb trip,
which I can’t condemn people if they get into it,
