"Puedes darle la espalda a una persona pero nunca le des la espalda a una droga especialmente cuando te está agitando un cuchillo de caza afilado en el ojo"
— Hunter S. Thompson
Simplified Meaning:
When dealing with drugs, they can be very dangerous and unpredictable, much more so than people. Imagine you're in a forest and suddenly, a wild animal with sharp teeth appears. You wouldn't just ignore it and turn your back, because it could attack you at any moment. In the same way, drugs can seem harmless at first, but they have the potential to cause serious harm. For example, someone might think it's safe to try a drug just once, but that can lead to addiction, health problems, or risky behavior very quickly. Drugs often take control over someone’s mind and actions, making them do things they normally wouldn’t. To stay safe, it's important to always be cautious and aware of the serious risks that drugs carry. By avoiding drugs altogether, you protect yourself from their dangerous effects.
