Is it ok to say "No" to drugs? Or is that a historical thing of gone by reality?
I was at a party last week and was offered a smoke. I said "No" and was laughed at.....😳😳
Originally posted by mikelomJust because they laugh at you, it doesn't mean it's not okay to say "no". And it's nothing new either. I have been laughed at many times for saying no to alcohol, and people have tried to coerce me, but if you are persistent in declining, they'll accept it in the end (and may even respect you more for it). I have never been offered any other drugs, but I would expect it to work the same way.

Possible replies:
No thanks, I'm in training for the next Olympics.
I can't, my Mom told me not to. (I actually used that one in college)
Sorry, I'm a policeman, it wouldn't look right.
The more important thing is a cool self-assured attitude. The comment above about people telling you what to put in your body is spot on correct. If drugs/no drugs is how someone else determines who you are, then they can't be that important or valuable to your life.
