well everything kids can get high on should be highly regulated. except natural stuff like marijuana. or alcohol. or sex-changes. lot of drugs used there. when I was growing up it was survival of the fittest. now survival of the dumbest is the making of YouTube videos. how far do we have to fall? getting worried now
