Same here - I ‘dabbled’ in the devils lettuce and magic mushrooms(once, it was more than enough) but the idea of anything harder was just never on my radar because of the photo/story of Leah.

I went back to uni at 26 (I’m 38 now) and the casualness of people taking MDMA, Ket or Coke was mad. Most of my coursemates/housemates (who were only 7/8 years younger than me) would regularly have a little something something in place of pre drinks (again, this was a new thing for me....Pre Drinking!!?? What??)

It would be interesting to know how many people are in the same boat as us?

This is so true. I always thought that just one pill and I’d end up shaming my parents by being on the front page of a newspaper dying. Such a selfless action taken by Leah’s parents that will have saved countless lives. That and having parents we don’t want to shame.

Same here, and even though I know it’s rife I’m always still a little shocked to know people my age who just like, work for an insurance company or whatever are doing drugs. Also thanks to Leah, if I ever make a foray into taking Ecstasy (or Molly or whatever one calls it these days) I know not to drink too much water!
