Self-Sovereignty

"My daughter, when you grow up (enough) to be able to brandish self-sovereignty tempered by self-discipline I only hope that if and when you may choose to try whatever drugs may appeal to you you are least fortunate enough to have access to clean ones and a safe enough and comfortable enough environment in which to study your interrelationship with them, intellectually, physiologically, psychologically, spiritually, and socially, but not necessarily in that order. I won't tell you what to do, but my advice is this: Don't eat yellow snow: don't snort yellow coke. If you're gonna poison yourself, poison yourself with the good shit. If you want to see whats up with something, be certain your sample size is representative. That's just good Science. No one likes a false statistic except those in power who wish to remain in power so maintain thy power to wield thy freedom of choice armed with an arsenal of personal experiences sailing with an armada of accurate information upon the high seas of this uncertain but certainly beautiful Life, but be prepared to accept the consequences. That's just responsibility. That alone oughtta put you well ahead of the curve."

Fictitious, but that doesn't warrant dismissal, I think.
