When you are a child everyone in your family, school and even TV try to teach you how to react to drugs. They tell children about being careful of all kind of drug, but when they grow up, no one gives a good explanation about it. There are substances that make you euphoric and others that make you quiet. Also some of those make you violent. It depends a lot of each person, I think.

In my country, there are too many smokers, and drinking alcohol is a regular activity in any kind of celebrations and parties. I'm agree with that I guess.
About marijuana, I obviously think that this drug should be legal. Many scientific researches have proved the advantage of its use in areas like medicine and psychology, specially with cancer and stress. And well, is very funny too, isn't it? I don't believe that marijuana is a gateway to harder drugs. There are obviously cases where people smoke marijuana and then try harder drugs, but that's not a law or something like that.

As a society, we should talk more about this topic. When people are informed, everyone is more able to take their own decisions. Even if all the drugs are legalized, the taboos about drugs would still exist, at least at the beginning. Obviously, there would be less drug trafficking, and maybe the drugs would came cheaper hehe

music time!

Last summer I enjoyed a new experience. My friends and I went to Woodstaco, an outdoor festival near my natal city, Curicó, taking place in a huge area down the mountains. Woodstaco is a weekend experience, where you sleep in tents and eat... any food you can get. In this case I have to recognize I didn't know most of the bands, because they were more than 100! This was our first time in the festival, so we weren't prepared enough, but still we had an awesome time. The worse thing was the weather. It was extremely hot :( Fortunately, we were close to the river, and after the sunset, we could enjoy the music with no problems. I saw a lot of new bands that I liked and I met old and new friends. There were rockers that gave us wine and vodka, girls dancing in a strange way, a few mothers with their babies, and lots of stoned young people. At the end we were exhausted, but it was definetly worthed: 3 days of music and nature with 4 different stages in the middle of the hills!
I completely recommend this festival.

Movies!!

Watching movies is one of my favorites hobbies, specially in winter break. My mom is always asking me to download movies, because in our natal city there isn't a good cinema. My favorite ones are drama movies, they usually make me cry. The movie director I like the most is Hayao Miyazaki, he's a japanese genius of animation, and his movies are full of magic and unique characters.
Anyway, my favorite movie isn't a Miyazaki's creation. The best movie I've ever seen is called Cloud Atlas. I saw it last year for the first time. I think I'm not even able to tell what is it about exactly, and that's why I love it that much. The sense of the movie is showing how the actions of individual lives impact one another through the time. I've already seen Cloud Atlas three times, but I'm searching for the book right now, by David Mitchell. The directors are Wachowski's brothers, and some of the actors are Tom Hanks, Hugh Grant and my beloved one, Jim Sturgess. In the movie there are different stories through the  passing of time, and each actor plays a different role in each story. That's an awesome idea, so I would definitely recommend it if you want to watch something strange and beautiful at the same time.
PS: the music in the movie is great too.
See ya!
